ASHLEY STEFFENS PHOTOGRAPHY

It's about connection

Your day isn't about the flowers, dress, decorations or venue. All of this is great & I'm sure you'll be rockin' that dress, but when it's all said and done, this day is one-hundred-percent about the celebration of a connection between two souls setting off on a new adventure. Itís about the little moments that build together to tell your story.

After all is said and done, these photos are the one thing that will last far beyond one day & serve as a memoir to your love & commitment for a lifetime together.

This is your day - from start to finish

Whether you are eloping or celebrating with those closest to you, your day is just as special as a traditional wedding day would be. For most traditional weddings, photographers document getting ready, a first look, a party and even more in one day, adding up to 6-12 hours of coverage! Elopements are a day to celebrate & commemorate your love story, just as much as a traditional wedding would be. This is your story being written – we don’t need to rush.

Think about every moment of your day. How do you want to spend it? Would you like to spend some time in the morning together? Perhaps you want to spend some time with someone special to you pre-wedding? Or how about after? How do you want to celebrate with one another in a way that genuinely feels like you? A hike to a waterfall? Some mini-golf? Traversing around a vineyard?

Don’t you want to look back on your day and remember how much fun you had? There are so many great ways to celebrate from the moment you wake up to the moment you end your day. And don’t worry – this is not an all-day photo shoot. I am there to document your day as it happens – I will only direct you during our scheduled portrait sessions. Otherwise, I will be chillin’ with you and documenting the big moments as they happen! 

I would be more than happy to talk to you about ways you can create a perfect full-day celebration that is a true representation of who you are & the day that you deserve.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

QUESTION

01. WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT / WORTH THE INVESTMENT?

ANSWER

I love what I do - more than I can say. I can confidently say I have more passion than most & have been trained to fine tune that passion. My mom was a photogrpaher growing up, so I learned from her at a young age, then continued to grow and study on my own as my passion grew. I graduated with my Bachelors degree in Interdisciplinary Studies where I catered my education to exactly what I needed in order to achieve my goals - I went to film school & studied cinematic arts (where I learned about production value & lighting), journalism (where I learned to keep an eye on the inevitable unfolding story at every turn) & publication design (where I learned the art of placement & order within a project). Between wedding videogrpahy & photogrpa- hy, I have been in the wedding industry for 5+ years now. All this to say, I not only love what I do, but I know my crap. Taking the leap for someone who is reliable with years of education & experience behind them to document this once in a lifetime day is a worthwhile investment.

QUESTION

02. HOW MANY IMAGES ARE INCLUDED?

ANSWER

You can expect about 60 images / hour or about 80 images / hour with a second photographer.

QUESTION

03. CAN WE HAVE ALL THE RAW IMAGES?

ANSWER

RAW images require special programs that can open up the files. All of the files in your gallery have been edited & exported to printable / web files so that they are easy to use. Because of the nature of RAW files, I do not release them to anyone uder any conditions.

QUESTION

04. HOW DO PAYMENT SCHEDULES WORK?

ANSWER

50% of total Upon Booking your date
50% of total 60 days before your date
(Other payment plans are available as well!)

QUESTION

05. WHAT IF WE NEED TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE?

ANSWER

For an adventure session, if there is an emergency, natural disaster or anything like that - we will definitely reschedule! If you need to reschedule for any other reason, I will require another 50% deposit for the value of the session because I could have scheduled another session otherwise.

For weddings & elopements, if there is an emergency or natural disaster, you will receive everything but your security deposit as that was meant to hold your date and I probably missed out on booking another wedding. I know this is hard when it comes up, but this is my livelihood and I rely on payments to pay my bills & all that fun stuff, so the policy is pretty strict.

If you cancel within 60 days of a wedding, you will receive no refund.

QUESTION

06. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT TO OUR DAY?

ANSWER

I have a team of photographers under my associate program who are all experienced & have been trained by me. In the case something happens to me, one of them will be there for your day!

QUESTION

07. CAN YOU PHOTOSHOP US TO BE SKINNIER / HAVE BETTER SKIN?

ANSWER

Okay, so heres the thing - YOU ROCK. I do not believe that there should typicaly be reasons to alter you or your bodies. You are so fantastic just the way you are, and I want these photos to serve as a reminder to a special time in your life. I promise, I’ll do everythign I can to make your already beautiful self look fabulous. As far ask skin, I will clean up any obvious blemishes for close up photos, but typically do not touch skin for photos that are farther away as blemishes are not as noticeable.
