I am so excited that you are interested in choosing me to document your Wedding! I believe in raw, candid, and fun images that can be treasured for generations to come.
I began capturing images at a young age of 13 . I started capturing weddings in 2013 and have fallen in love with weddings ever since. I photograph with both a digital camera as well as a film camera. I find that there is something really special about slowing down to capture the most beautiful film photograph on a wedding day.
As time goes on I strive to bring my business more into a documentary and candid format but I absolutely thrive in a fine art setting. With my attention to detail it is my goal to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.

Date Booked
Make it official
Sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. I’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos.
Engagement Session
I check in about two months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else we should know about your big day.
Wedding Day Prep
It's finally here! The day the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. Just know I am excited to celebrate and capture your wedding day. It's going to be awesome
The Big Day
You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within about 8-12 weeks of your wedding. At that time, I will also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums.
They're Here!

Just wow.. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Deirdre. Deirdre had instantly became a staple in our wedding as soon as we got engaged. We felt so privileged to have a photographer who was extremely passionate, dedicated and helpful to us in our planning process. From vendor recommendations to literally spending hours with me on the phone ironing out our wedding day timeline, Deirdre was there every step of the way.
Don't wait another minute!

I would definitely recommend Deirdre to anyone planning a wedding. Her professionalism, creative eye, constant communication, and willingness to do anything to get the right shot (she literally was climbing into bushes to get the best angles) made her a dream to work with. You will not be disappointed! Worth every penny!

Deirdre made us feel so comfortable & walked us through posing so that it felt natural. For our wedding she helped us work out a timeline so that the wedding day flowed perfectly. She had highly recommended taking sunset pictures and me and my husband were kind of on the fence about it, because we wanted to spend as much time with our guests as we could, but let me tell you something TAKE THE SUNSET PICTURES!
Highly Reccomend

On the wedding day Ashley, and James killed it!!! They were so fun to hang out with and brought a joyful atmosphere to the entire day. They helped us stick to our schedule and had the most beautiful photo and video ideas. We are SOOO happy with how everything came out! They sincerely cared about me and my fiancé through out the whole process and went above and beyond in every area!

Unbelievable! Words can't describe how amazing it was to have the DREAM TEAM be our photo and video team. It is hard to find a video and photo team that work together well and TreeFilms & Deirdre Photography work together so cohesively, making the wedding day so intimate, fun, and relaxing. Me and my husband felt so comfortable around Deirdre, Ashley and James as we embarked our wedding journey. The photos and videos came out amazing and I could not have asked for a better team!

I am a big believer that images aren’t meant to solely exist in a digital space. One day, most likely, Instagram will be gone, your phone will be replaced and images that you can physically hold in your hand will be the best way to remember those precious moments we captured.
Think about this fact: fifteen years ago, if I had delivered your digital images, they would have been on a floppy disk. With the fast updates to technology, you would have no way to access those images today. Even the online galleries I deliver will eventually fade away.
One of the best ways to make your wedding memories last is by ordering an album. These high quality professionally designed albums come in a variety of linen & leather colors. These aren’t the same albums your parents' wedding photos came in. They’re modern, lay perfectly flat and look incredible on a coffee table.
Handcrafted Albums
THE PERFECT WAY TO REMEMBER YOUR WEDDING DAY
20 page 10x10 album
Linen: $950 for Linen
Leather: $1150
PRICING

Linen: $450 each for Linen
Leather: $700 each
DUPLICATE PARENT ALBUMS
Wedding albums are available after wedding images are delivered. Prices and products may change as time goes on as our products may upgrade
After I deliver your gallery, I will work with you to order prints and design an album that will become an heirloom for your family.
Albums must be prepaid before design begins and typically take between 4 to 6 weeks to complete (including revisions).
With the exception of printing errors, all albums are non-returnable. Albums must be ordered anytime after the wedding gallery has been delivered.
Unless you’re a model, being photographed probably feels a little awkward. I do this for a living and I still always feel a little out of place when I have my photos taken every year.
I am a big fan of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how we pose. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits - which is why
I’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time.
Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, we’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding.
All of my collections include a complimentary session.
