Candra & Joe

 

Connecting with you during our consultation was such a blast—your energy, humor, and vision for the day are right up my alley. Finding out that my sister actually photographed your first wedding felt like absolute fate, and I would be so honored to keep the tradition in the family! Beyond my Fine Art Photography degree from UGA and 15 years of creative experience, my main goal is to be your biggest advocate, keeping things smooth, effortless, and fun so you can just enjoy every moment.

Exclusive Neighborly Package

As we talked about during our consultation, being a neighbor and fellow local entrepreneur makes this opportunity extra special to me. I’m truly inspired by your vision for a dramatic, moody aesthetic, but even more so by the chance to build a lasting connection with a beloved member in our community. Because I view this far more as a meaningful partnership than just a single event, I wanted to create a custom rate that reflects my genuine investment in you, your day, and our local circle—delivering the high-level, experienced coverage you deserve at a price that fits comfortably into your plans.

Includes:
  • 8 hours of consecutive wedding day coverage
  • Engagement session included (a complimentary $500 value)
  • Custom timeline planning & day-of coordination support
  • High-resolution, password-protected gallery with full download rights

$1,500

 

Investment & Partnership

 

In today’s market, 8-hour coverage runs $3,000–$4,000, which is where my standard $3,000 rate sits. I know pricing in the industry has shifted a lot over the last decade, but I also bring a Fine Arts degree, 15 years of experience, and corporate-level professionalism to ensure your day runs smoothly.


Because I loved our vibe and truly want to build long-term ties with fellow local women and business owners, I’m cutting my rate in half to $1,500 for you.


I genuinely want to be the one in your corner on your big day. If it comes down to a final choice between me and another photographer, please reach out—I'm more than willing to talk through the details to make this work!

"Hiring Kaleigh was hands down the best choice we made. She’s so much more than a photographer—she was practically my sanity saver and biggest hype woman all day. She made us feel completely normal and relaxed in front of the camera, and looking back at our photos, she captured exactly how happy we felt."
