Wedding Photography That Includes Digital Files

Over the years I have heard about just about every type of pricing structure in wedding photography. Some photographers include their negatives or digital files, and others charge a premium for each of your photos after the wedding. While I can’t say what is right and what is wrong, I can say what I would prefer. I always include Digital Photos with my wedding coverage.

I believe you should have your photos to keep forever. Once you’ve hired me to photograph your wedding day, you can rest assured that your digital media will be fully delivered to you, at full resolution, and without any logos. It’s just like having your negatives from the days the film. As technology changes, so does the way I deliver these images. I remember burning multiple CDs for each of my weddings! Thank goodness these days are over.

Today I delivery by digital downloads, and also by custom USB drives with all your photos contained. Over the years I have tried many different USBs for my clients and when I discovered USB Memory Direct, I partnered with them right away because I knew I loved their design and quality. Adding your tangible USB flash drive to your wedding package is easy. We can both rest assured that you have at least one hard copy in addition to your custom viewing website. Here are a few pictures of these beautiful hard drives, enjoy!

There’s something about that first time your baby wraps their fingers around yours.⁠

It’s instinct, sure—but it’s also connection.
A silent little promise: *I know you. I trust you. I’m safe here.*⁠
⁠
They won’t remember this moment, but you will.⁠
And years from now, you’ll look at this photo and remember exactly how it felt.⁠
⁠
That’s the power of something so small.⁠

They’ll never be this tiny again. Every newborn is a once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece—just days old, yet already entirely themselves. These early moments are fleeting, raw, and unrepeatable. Capture them not just for now, but for the decades ahead when these sleepy yawns and curled-up fingers feel like a dream.

Because the truth is—your kids probably won’t sit still.⁠⁣
They’ll make silly faces, run in opposite directions, or collapse into giggles just when you were hoping for that “one perfect shot.”⁣
⁠⁣
And honestly? That’s exactly what I want to capture.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
The real smiles. The chaos. The snuggles. The way your toddler leans into you when they`re tired, or how your baby clutches your finger like it’s the most important thing in the world.⁣
⁠⁣
That’s the good stuff.⁣
⁠⁣
And those are the moments you’ll actually want to remember.⁠

There’s something so special about gathering the whole family—generations together, kids running barefoot through the sand, golden light pouring in.

This sunset session was filled with tiny, beautiful moments: a toddler twirling in her grandma’s arms, cousins holding hands, laughter between siblings who’ve grown up side by side.

It’s these in-between moments that mean the most. The ones that tell the real story of your family—just as you are, right now.

They say a day well lived makes every yesterday a dream—and I believe it. These really are the best days of our lives. Not because they’re perfect, but because they’re filled with love, laughter, and those tiny everyday moments that make life beautiful—if we pause long enough to notice.

Today reminded me how important it is to slow down. To take a breath, step away from the hustle, and make space for the in-between moments that are everything.♥️
