Our photographic style is crafted to authentically reflect the mood, environment, and colors of your special day. We aim for you to look back at your photographs and be instantly transported to those moments – the vibrant hues of your wedding bouquet, the intricate details of your dress, and the brilliance of the blue sky.

Our approach is timeless, cinematic, and infused with romance, ensuring that your memories are preserved in the most beautiful way. Expect a harmonious blend of candid shots, brimming with genuine emotion, and elegantly composed portraits illuminated with cinematic lighting.

Our journey into wedding photography began shortly after our own wedding in 2015.

Now, as we approach a decade in this business, we feel honored to have been a part of hundreds of couples’ special days. This experience has not only deepened our understanding of wedding photography but also enriched our appreciation for these once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Samantha’s background in the wedding industry, both as a bridal coordinator and a freelance editor prior to 2015, has been invaluable in shaping our approach to capturing your most cherished memories.

Each wedding we photograph is more than just a job for us; it’s a reflection of our passion and a continuation of our own love story.

We cannot emphasize enough the importance of viewing a complete gallery from ANY photographer you’re considering for your wedding. It’s a crucial step in ensuring their style aligns with your vision.

After our initial consultation, where we learn more about the mood and style of your wedding, we’ll provide you with galleries that closely match your setting. It’s vital to see examples from venues similar to yours. For instance, if you’re planning an indoor church wedding in a low-light environment, it’s essential to view photographs taken under similar conditions.

This approach ensures that you have a clear and realistic expectation of how your own wedding memories will be captured, reflecting the unique atmosphere of your special day.

Our wedding photography experience always includes: Two Professional Lead Photographers, Wedding Day Timeline Assistance, a Custom Designed Wedding Album, a Complimentary Engagement Session, a Complimentary Boudoir or Bridal Experience Session, Artwork Customization Appointment and Personalized Gallery Website for ease of downloading/sharing, and a Crystal USB Digital Gallery.

Hours of coverage are completely customizable depending on your needs. During your consultation we will discuss your wedding day plans, go over a rough timeline and together determine how many hours would be needed to provide coverage to create and capture a full wedding day story.

You will receive your beautifully retouched wedding day photographs through two convenient methods: a USB flash drive and a personalized online gallery.

The online gallery is designed for easy downloading and sharing, allowing you to effortlessly share your cherished memories with friends and family. We wholeheartedly encourage you to spread the joy of your special day with the world!

Additionally, any images you purchase from your engagement and other pre-wedding photo sessions will be provided in the same manner, ready for you to enjoy and to share.

Kropp Photography does own and retain all copyrights on all photographs and galleries that we deliver, but that does not prevent you from sharing and/or printing your photographs, per our contract.

We are happy to provide more information upon request. 

Our typical editing timeline is 4-6 weeks following your wedding day.

In most cases, we arrange a special premiere viewing at our studio, which we aim to schedule prior to your wedding. During this exclusive premiere, you’ll be treated to a beautifully crafted slideshow of your images, presented in chronological order.

This is not just a viewing experience; it’s also an opportunity for you to customize your wedding album and select any additional artwork you desire. This session is designed to be a memorable part of your wedding journey, allowing you to relive those precious moments while adding a personal touch to your keepsakes

Absolutely! We are delighted to offer a range of Pre-Wedding Sessions, including Engagement, Boudoir, and Bridal photography.

For our wedding clients, we waive the session fees for these photography services, providing you with an added value.

Please note that while the session fees are complimentary, images and artwork from these sessions are sold separately. This approach allows you to choose exactly what you love and want to keep from these special pre-wedding moments

We require a retainer to reserve your date, along with a signed contract. The remainder of your balance (depending on your custom wedding day coverage) is due 60 days prior to your wedding date.

All of our contracts can be sent & signed digitally, and once your retainer and your signed contract are received, your wedding date is secure. Your remaining payments (if necessary) can be made in whatever way is most convenient for you. 

On average, our wedding clients generally plan to invest anywhere between $3,000-$9,000 with us on photography services and artwork.

The average client investment range varies widely, and is based solely on optional artwork upgrades and add-ons, as well as adding on additional photography services and experiences.

Every wedding client has the opportunity to add on additional wedding day hours, additional photography experiences and services (such boudoir, bridal, etc.), and the OPTION to purchase additional artwork and/or upgrade their included artwork at any time – such as custom designed heirloom quality albums, heirloom quality prints, stand-alone wall art pieces, custom wall art gallery collections that include complimentary delivery and installation, as well as unique and exclusive items only offered at our studio.

We provide up-front pricing for all of our couples during their initial consultation, and there is no pressure or obligation. 

We specialize exclusively in wedding photography and portrait photography, and we do not currently offer videography services.

We believe photography and videography are distinct artistic mediums, each requiring dedicated focus and expertise. We have chosen to concentrate our talents on capturing your special moments through the art of photography.

While we do not offer videography services directly, we understand the importance of preserving every aspect of your day. Therefore, we are pleased to provide our clients with a carefully curated list of talented videographers we’ve collaborated with in the past, ensuring you have access to the best services for your wedding day memories.

Absolutely.

We understand the importance of formal group photos/family group photos and we are more than happy to collaborate with you to ensure these shots meet your expectations.

However, when it comes to other specific shot requests, we gently discourage them. Our focus is on capturing the genuine, spontaneous moments of your day, and constantly referring to a list can detract from our ability to do so.

You’ve chosen us for our expertise in capturing the natural flow and unique essence of your wedding, and we strive to honor that trust. Rest assured, standard shots like the first kiss and other quintessential moments are always included in our coverage.

If there are any unique or non-traditional shots you have in mind, we encourage discussing these during your consultation. We’ll make a note of any such special requests to ensure they’re captured on your big day.

Our approach to photography is all about creating a relaxed and comfortable environment for you.

We understand that being in front of the camera can sometimes feel daunting, which is why we prioritize making you feel at ease. Our style is unobtrusive and natural; we guide you gently through the process with a blend of subtle direction and candid captures. This way, we can ensure your expressions and poses look as natural and authentic as possible.

We believe the best photographs are those where you’re simply being yourselves, and we’re there to capture those genuine moments of joy, love, and laughter. During your shoot, we’ll engage with you in a friendly and supportive manner, ensuring a fun and enjoyable experience that translates into beautiful, natural photographs.
