We hired Cheyenne to photograph/video our elopement during peak cherry blossom season. She was punctual, highly responsible, and so much fun to work with! We received our photos in a timely manner, and I can say that they are all exceptional! My dress was immediately damaged due to rain and soil, and she was able to edit the worst of it out of the photos. While we have not yet reviewed/received our wedding video, we trusted her instincts in selecting the professional contractor for this work, and we have no doubt that the video will be beautiful. Looking forward to working with Cheyenne in the future!

Cheyenne was amazing! I am not from the DC area and she helped with recommendations. Very responsive and is a true professional in photography. Showed up early and got the surprise engagement perfectly. She gave clear instructions and knew all the good spots for pictures afterwards. Highly recommend.

Cheyenne is an amazing photographer in the dc area! I planned a surprise proposal for my fiancé and wanted to propose at the tidal basin for the cherry blossoms and it came out perfect! She was very responsive and at the exact spot I picked out on time and ready! She gave us a preview of our photos the next day and then a full edited gallery about a week later. Can’t recommend her enough!

Cheyenne was amazing! She took the photos for my surprise/candid proposal and my now fiancée and I couldn't be happier with the product. What made the engagement complex was that I had to plan it entirely remotely from multiple states away and sent her the itinerary of how everything would go down, and not only was she very responsive and communicative, she was also punctual and everything fell into place perfectly. Incredible timing and timeless photos. Thank you, Cheyenne!

I worked with Cheyenne for a surprise proposal at Burnside Farms in Northern Virginia. Her communication before during and after the event was excellent. The quality of photos she took and edited was outstanding. Very happy with her work and professionalism.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate is typically $500 per hour, this varies with distance, time, and availability.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Leading up to your shoot, we will discuss outfits, looks, inspiration photos, timing, weather, and special circumstances. I will help you find the perfect location for your photos and the best time of day based on lighting and weather.
What types of customers have you worked with?
My favorite customers to work with are couples, I adore capturing wildly in love couples being silly and intimate together in natural environments. Outdoor Weddings are my favorite, and I love being there from the getting ready stages, to the first look, the ceremony, and then getting all the candid shots of your day!
I also enjoy capturing maternity shoots, families, graduation photos and parties/events.
