Stephanie Nachtrab Pricing Guide

GU ID E

I’m so glad you found me and that you are taking the time to learn a little about me, and why I do what I do! For starters I’m a wedding/elopement and portrait photographer, currently living in Missouri! The thing I love most about being a photographer, is becoming friends with all of the couples and individuals that I get the opportunity to work with. Making connections, sharing laughs, tears, and the most intimate moments of life. That’s what I love. I already feel so honored that you are reaching out to me in the big world of wedding photographers, and with that I hope to make you feel just as special and unique. We are created to create, and my ultimate goal is to create WITH you and not FOR you.

I have a real passion for capturing raw emotion, and I am a firm believer in morning kisses, afternoon naps, holding hands, and silly make you fall over lover. I also believe that it’s absolutely important to realize that this life is the only one you have, and as not everyone has the opportunity to adventure this world, we ALL have the opportunity to make choices that will help us live a life we are meant to live.

I honestly still can’t believe the fact I get to do this for the rest of forever. Capturing love is such a unique way to live life. I don’t usually like to refer to this as my job, because the way I feel about shooting weddings doesn’t deserve to be put under the stigma of a “job”. I truly love what I do, and I am so proud to call myself a wedding photographer. I am here to capture your reality with my creative vision. What I hope to achieve is to create images that capture the then and now, so later you can remember your story and feel the way it was told.

I am always up for the adventure, so let’s get together, drink, eat, travel, and love.

I include a complimentary engagement session with all of my local wedding packages as a way for us to get to know each other and have fun before the big day! An engagement session is my absolute favorite thing to do with couples, because it gives couples a chance to experience being in front of the camera and leads to more natural, comfortable photographs in the end! We will meet 3-6 months before your wedding day and explore, adventure, and find the perfect locations that show off YOUR love and YOUR connection to each other.

Generally, I tell couples to have 2-3 outfits planned, and that we should meet two hours before sunset! We will travel to multiple locations, but I always LOVE when couples have their own location ideas because when a location has meaning to a couple it allows the experience to be more personal and intimate.

Let’s talk outfits! What the heck should you wear? I know this causes a lot of panic, but no need to worry! I have an entire outfit board created on the good ole trusty Pinterest that should help you get an idea of what to look for when planning your outfits. Try to stick to neutral colors while avoiding anything too neon. Honestly you should dress in a way that represents you and makes you feel the most comfortable. So if you want to wear your favorite bright yellow shirt- then go for it!

Finally, to the best part. Wedding day. This should be the LEAST stressful part of the wedding planning process. This is the day when you get to laugh, cry, and show off all of your crazy (and maybe embarrassing) dance moves.

You should expect to be YOU, because that is the most incredible person I could ever capture.

I am all about the real moments, not creating the poses, but letting you show me how you love and laugh together. I am going to be there to capture your version of love, and your story of how you became “us.” My favorite moments are there authentic raw ones, the ones of your first look, the ones of you soaking in the bliss of becoming one, the small moments as the golden sun sets on your day (my favorite), and all of those butterfly feelings that you can’t explain type of moments. Those are the ones that fuel my passion for weddings. So just be prepared to get married, have fun, and I promise I will capture of all the details for you to remember for the rest of your life!

What is the booking process?

After we have decided that we will be a perfect fit for each other, I collect a $900 retainer fee and a signed contract. It is also great to meet with couples over coffee or lunch to go over any details of the contract + to get to know each other!

and also please do not alter the photos in any way (i.e. instagram filters) How many photos do you deliver?

I typically deliver 75-100 photos per hour of coverage Do you have a set shot list?

of the wedding day! At this meeting I will also go over all of the details you should have ready on the day of, location of your getting ready rooms, first look details, couple portraits, and ceremony and reception details!

What are your travel fees for weddings that aren’t local, but don’t require a flight?

How long until we get our photos?

My turn around time is typically a max of 4 weeks after the wedding day, and I deliver images via online gallery where you have the option to download all of your images to your desktop.

No. My job is to capture YOUR day.

Whether your family is 10 people or 100, my job is still to capture that.

Now, I am still a wedding photographer, so all I ask is to make these formal family photos and not a bunch of photos of Uncle Bob and his family on the side.

What are my rights to my photos?

If I can drive to your wedding, I charge $0.54/ mile for anything over 90 miles round trip.

Will you share my photos?

Yes, I will be sharing your images on my website and Instagram (@stephanienachtrab)

Do you help make our timeline?

You can share and print your photos however you like, I just ask that you mention me in the caption (Stephanie Nachtrab on facebook, @stephanienachtrab on Instagram, or my website),

Can we bring our dog?

Absolutely!!! I always ask to meet with brides a 1-2 months before their day to make sure we have all of our ducks in a row, and to go over the events

YES, THE ANSWER WILL ALWAYS BE YES

Thank you for taking the time to look over this wedding guide, and for reaching out about your upcoming wedding. I would love to be able to document your version of your dream wedding, and in the end, becoming lifelong friends with the both of you.

Please feel free to ask any questions that you might have, as I am always available to go over any details, needs, or wants. I look forward to hearing from you, and in the meantime, enjoy this time of wedding planning because it is all a part of the great adventure.
