Moonwell Photography

Creatively capturing the people, emotions and details that tell the story of your glorious day is our number one priority as your wedding photographer. Our approach is what you could call portrait journalism, essentially a hybrid of traditional and photojournalism. We love to non-intrusively capture those genuine moments as they unfold, and to let the day flow as it will, but will still get evolved for traditional formals, as well as fun, creative, edgy and relaxed fashion-style portraits.

This is your special day that you have worked so hard to plan, not ours. We are simply honored to be a part of it, helping to preserve those memories for a lifetime. We want to work with you and your ideas, not against you. We want get to know you as a couple, so that we can capture the true essence of this celebration. The engagement session and pre-wedding consultations are great ways to really get to know each other, so that everybody feels more comfortable and knows what to expect once the real excitement begins.

OK, enough babble. What's this going to cost me?
