Our Philosphy
Our approach is to use prompts, props, and other ways to make a clean, unposed, candid look.

 

We love photographing individuals throughout the seasons they never want to forget. The nervous excitement before a wedding, the glow of expecting a baby, the confidence of graduating, or the quiet sweetness of a newborn stage — every chapter deserves to be remembered. Our approach is relaxed, intentional, and fully centered on what makes your story yours.

 

Life doesn’t stand still—but your memories can. I’m here to document the moments you’ll want to return to again and again.

Elopement

The Willow Tree - Elopement Collective

The Willow Tree – Elopement Collective is designed for intimate wedding experiences centered around connection, simplicity, and storytelling. These collections are intended for courthouse ceremonies, destination weddings, private vows, adventurous locations, and small-scale gatherings that prioritize the experience over the structure of a traditional wedding day.



Whether you are exchanging vows on a mountainside, traveling abroad, celebrating quietly with immediate family, or planning a meaningful local ceremony, this collection focuses on documenting your day in a natural, documentary-style way without the pace and production of a full wedding timeline.

A couple embraces outdoors, smiling at each other with lush green forest hills in the background on a sunny day.

This collection is best suited for:

  • Destination Marriage Ceremonies
  • Courthouse Ceremonies
  • Private vow exchanges
  • Adventure elopements
  • Intimate ceremonies with limited guests
  • Simplified wedding-day timelines

The Willow Tree – Elopement Collective is best suited for intimate wedding experiences with simplified timelines and a more documentary-style approach to the day. This collection was thoughtfully created for courthouse ceremonies, destination weddings, private vows, adventurous locations, and smaller celebrations centered around connection and experience rather than the structure of a traditional wedding day.

Couples planning larger celebrations with extensive guest counts, full reception coverage, large bridal parties, or a more detailed wedding-day timeline may find that The Old Oak Tree – Wedding Collective better fits the level of coverage and coordination needed for their day.

Mini Day (2 hour)
Half Day (4 hour)
Full Day (8 hour)




Events exceeding approximately 30 guests or requiring extensive timeline coordination may require booking under The Old Oak Tree – Wedding Collective.

Frequently asked questions
Do You require a retainer/deposit to book?

We require what is called a "Non-Refundable Reservation Fee" to officially secure the date. This typically ranges between 30-50% of your total package, depending on the session or collection you have chosen. This fee is applied directly toward your final balance, so it is not an additional charge. Mini Sessions must be paid in full at the time of booking and are non-refundable under most circumstances- this will be detailed in our contract.

Do you charge travel fees (in-state)?

We will travel anywhere, almost any time. We do charge a small fee if we are driving after 60 miles to and from. If we are doing long-distance, please reach out to us for further information! For our Old Oak Tree - Wedding Collective package, travel fees are covered by the photographer.

Do You offer Travel/Destination Photography?

We are ALWAYS down to travel ;) We typically ask if you are willing to get us there - we will handel all the arrangements AND discount our pricing in exchange :) Reach out for further details!

What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

We know things don’t always go as planned. If you need to reschedule, just reach out at least one week ahead and we’ll work with you to find a new date. If a cancellation is necessary, the non-refundable retainer remains in place since it holds your date exclusively. All policies are clearly explained in your contract, and we’ll walk you through everything before you book so there are no surprises.

Can I make my own package?

ABSOLUTELY! We are very accommodating when it comes to packaging, prices, etc. Just send us a message and ask :)

Do you help with planning our engagement session?

Absolutely! Tommy + Shelbi have an excellent amount of experience from being mentored by other peer photographers in the community, as well as their own engagement and wedding experiences.

How long until I receive the final photos?

Final delivery of your photos will be delivered within 6 weeks post session. Sometimes you may receive your final gallery sooner or later depending on time, availability, amount of editing, and work-load. If final delivery ends up being after the deadline, you would be guaranteed a sneak peek.

Can I make a payment plan?

We understand that finances get tough, and pictures aren't cheap. We pride in being flexible for our clients to make things as affordable as possible. During contract negotiations, if you feel a payment plan is necessary, we can discuss this and set one up. We are very accommodating for our clients. We also offer special payment plans like Affirm or Klarna to help :)

How many photos will I recieve?

All viable images from the session will be delivered in a JPG format in a personalized online gallery available 24/7. We believe that our clients deserve all viable images taken and should not be torn in picking which images they want more than the other.

*Image amount is dependent on session type and time spent*
