Your experience is what matters most.
My responsibilities as your wedding photographer stretch far beyond capturing beautiful images on your wedding day.
Hello! I am so excited you’re here and can’t wait to talk to you! My vision for wedding photography combines love, emotion, and artistry together to create stunning visuals that will forever narrate your unique love story. I understand that your wedding day is a monumental chapter in your life and I am dedicated to preserving the magic of your day through the lens of our cameras.
Every couple's love story is one-of-a-kind, and I believe that your wedding photography should reflect that uniqueness. My approach is to blend timeless elegance with genuine authenticity, ensuring that every photograph captures not just the events, but the genuine emotions, connections, and moments that make your day special.
My Photography Style:
A Blend of Elegance and Authenticity
My #1 priority is helping you enjoy taking portraits. I want you to feel like yourselves and, of course, have a fun time! Natural, easygoing poses make it simple for real emotions to shine through especially if being in front of the camera isn’t your favorite thing (you’re definitely not alone there). When you’re next to someone you love and just settling into a comfortable moment, the genuine smiles and little cute glances happen naturally.
Photo enhancement follows the same idea. The goal is to keep everything true to how it looked and felt in the moment. Colors that feel real, tones that stay natural, and enhancements that never take away from the story of the day. With simple, authentic posing and natural enhancements, your portraits stay timeless, honest, and full of heart.
Engagement Session:
Speaking of authentic moments, I include a 45 minute engagement session that can be booked anytime leading up to your wedding day! After working together to choose a perfect location and great outfits, we will get together and capture some great portraits for you to use for save-the-dates, your wedding website, and more. I will focus on getting to know your photographic style goals and how you interact together as a couple. I will walk you both through everything step-by-step while finding the "poses" that work with your style (no stuffy prom poses here please). This is the time to get you both comfortable in front of the camera and also comfortable working with me.
Final Consultation & Timeline Preparation:
In the final months leading to your wedding day, I am available to help with anything and everything you need - vendor recommendations, timeline preparation, planning suggestions and more.
Within the last few weeks before the big day, we will plan a consultation to finalize your wedding timeline and answer any last-minute questions. The goal is for you to wake up on your wedding day with peace of mind that you will be having a wonderful day of experience.
Check out our timeline samples below.
Full Day Coverage & 2 Photographers:
Full-day coverage is all about peace of mind on your wedding day. It means your entire story is captured from start to finish with a team working together from two unique perspectives. No strict time limits, no rushing, and no worrying about what moments might be missed.
At Zerbe Photography, full-day coverage has always been the standard. If you want us there the whole day, we will be there documenting every laugh, tear, detail, and celebration as it naturally unfolds. You never have to watch the clock or wonder when the photographers are leaving.
Your job? Enjoy every minute of your day knowing the rest is taken care of.
Photography Reveal:
In the following days after your wedding, I will be working to cull your photographs down to the best of the best. Galleries average a range of 600-1200 photographs at the end of the process. The portraits will be enhanced to ensure everything is elegant and authentic. We will also send you a few "sneak peaks" in the meantime to hold you over as the full gallery gets its enhancements.
You can expect delivery of your online gallery 4-5 weeks after your wedding. This gallery showcases all of your stunning wedding photographs so that you can download, share, and order.
Professionally Made Print Products:
There is a great selection of products to choose from that will showcase your wedding perfectly. Framed Portraits are a wonderful option to help relive your wedding every day.
If you want a print that is really going to garner attention, how about a Canvas Wrap? Canvas Wraps are a true showcase-piece option that will "wow" people. Printed on fine-art canvas paper and wrapped on oak wood stretcher bars, you will not be disappointed in its beauty!
A Miller's Signature Album is a phenomenal storytelling showcase. With your order, we will work together to create a fabulous art piece that is exactly what you imagined it to be. Once we have finalized your design, the book is sent out to Miller's Print Lab where it will be assembled. This process typically takes 4-6 weeks to complete.
