Worth Remembering
From our first conversation to the moment your gallery lands in your inbox, my goal is simple: to make this experience feel effortless, personal, and genuinely enjoyable.
Preserving more than your
wedding day—
preserving the way it felt.
Your wedding day will come and go, but the memories shouldn't have to. My hope is that every time you open your gallery, you're reminded not just of what your day looked like, but of how it felt to be surrounded by the people who made your day unforgettable.
Optional add-ons: additional coverage, travel & lodging, second photographer, heirloom albums.
Each package includes:
- Planning assistance & timeline guidance
- A personalized photography experience
- An online gallery of hand-edited, high-resolution images
- Personal rights to print and share
- Complimentary one hour engagement session
- Unlimited bad dance moves from behind the camera

WHEN CAN WE EXPECT OUR GALLERY?
You'll receive a handful of sneak peeks within a week to relive the excitement while it's still fresh. Your full gallery will be thoughtfully edited and delivered within 10 weeks. I proudly run Studio Smeins alongside my full-time career, allowing me to give every gallery the care and attention it deserves—because preserving your memories is never something I'll rush.
Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we book?
I open my wedding calendar one year in advance, and dates tend to fill quickly once they're available. Keepsake sessions are typically reserved 3–6 months ahead. If your plans have come together a little quicker, don't hesitate to reach out—I always love making room for a good love story when I can.
Do you travel FOR WEDDINGS?
Home is Epworth, Iowa—but I'm always happy to follow a good love story wherever it leads. Whether you're celebrating close to home or somewhere you've always dreamed of, I'd be honored to come along.
HOW DO WE MAKE IT OFFICIAL?
It all starts with a conversation. We'll get to know one another, talk through your vision, and make sure we're the right fit.
From there, a signed contract and retainer officially reserve your date on my calendar.
