WEDDINGS
RELIVE YOUR WEDDING EXACTLY HOW IT FELT
Your wedding day will end but the memories won't. My experience in this industry allows me to blend seamlessly into your celebration, ensuring that you and your guests can enjoy your day without feeling posed or interrupted. I will take the time throughout this journey to understand your vision and preferences, tailoring my approach to reflect your unique love story.
Weddings go by in a blur, and its my job to capture all of it. When you receive your gallery back, the photos shouldn't just show what happened, they should take you back to exactly how it felt.
But.. What makes me different?
- Guided, Comfortable Photos- You don't NEED to know how to pose; I make it effortless so you can feel yourself without feeling stiff.
- My favorite line, "I am awkward"- Hey! So am I. That's why I've mastered the art of making everyone look natural in photos, even when you feel like a human flamingo. I got you.
- "Stress Free" Experience- From start to finish, I keep things calm, fun and organized so you can enjoy your day.
- Timeline Assistance- If needed, I can help guide you through how to create your wedding timeline from start to finish.
- Your Story, Your Way- Every gallery tells the story of your wedding, so you can relive it exactly how it felt.
- Rapid Turnaround Time- Ask me about my turnaround time! I was once a bride and had to wait nearly two months for my wedding gallery. When becoming a wedding photographer, I told myself I would make it one of my biggest efforts to make sure my brides did not have to wait that long.
A good mix between posed and documentary. A little bit of this, a little bit of that! This approach allows you to have some control over what your photos will look like, while also documenting your day exactly how it happened.
Prior to your ceremony, I will be doing a styled flat lay arrangement of the bridal accessories, including the shoes, jewelry, bouquet and invitation. We will also hang your beautiful dress up and photograph that too!

Wedding Advice
When inquiring with another photographer about potentially doing your wedding photos, here’s some VERY IMPORTANT INFO.
1) Ask if they have dual slots in their camera for two memory cards. Why? Well, when you’re getting married you are assuming it’s going to be only once! So, say you lost all your wedding photos because of a malfunction with the photographers camera.. You’re never getting married again. You’ll never be able to get those photos and those special moments back. Choosing a photographer that have two slots for memory cards offers them to write onto both cards so that if one malfunctioned there’s another card with all of the photos... trust me it’s crucial! It doesn’t matter if malfunctions are a rare occurrence, why take the risk???
2) What happens if your photographer ends up sick? We ourselves can’t plan the future, so it’s important that you ask that question to see what their back up plan is. Do they have a backup photographer or would they just refund your deposit and make you find another one yourself??? SUPER IMPORTANT TO ASK.
3) Never, and I mean never book a wedding with a photographer that doesn’t have a contract in place! A contract is for your protection as well as ours. Without a contract, your whole entire wedding planning is a “he said she said” situation. It doesn’t matter if you have it in writing through a DM, without a *signed* contract your words on a DM don’t mean anything at all. Your photographer could offer you a ton of things, and then give you nothing when the time comes. CONTRACTS AREN’T A WANT, IT'S A NEED.
4) What’s the photographers turnaround time? 4 weeks? 8 weeks? 12? 6 months? You’d be surprised. Some take months and months- rightfully so due to there being so many photos. However, it’s really up to your preference. Do you want to wait 6 months? What’s your limit? Again, photographers take a long time for a valid reason, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you need to choose them if you want someone who can get them out to you sooner. I wouldn’t worry about the turnaround time too much but I still think it’s a valid question to ask!
A Few Love Notes below
"From the first day we inquired with madeleine all the way up until we received our wedding gallery, working with her was a dream. I feel like i am a pretty high MAINTENANCE person and yet she never made me feel that way. i trusted her to bring my vision to light with our wedding photos and she did exactly that."

"I hope you know how much better you made my wedding experience! From knowing at exactly what moment I was not happy with my hair, and speaking up for me to making sure I wasn't bulldozed into a first look! You truly are an amazing person who went above and beyond."

"To say we are blessed to have chosen Halla Photography is an understatement. I think the best part of our gallery is that theres a lot of photos i didn't realize were taken. moments that she was a fly on the wall for. it just shows how much she cared for us during moments i WASN'T even paying attention."
