WEDDING INVESTMENT GUIDE

2025-2026 Collections


WELCOME



Deciding on a photographer is a very important decision and you need to feel confident that you are taken care of and can soak in every moment with intention. To say that I am excited that you are considering me to be your photographer is an understatement. I truly believe that each love story is unique and it is my main goal to capture it authentically.






I’m here for you the entire way. There are lots of moving parts on a wedding day, and you need someone reliable that can step in and guide or step back and simply capture those memories you will hold on to for the rest of your lives.


Documenting from getting ready till the end of the day is typically the kind of coverage that my couples value. The sweet moments in the morning between you and your families, the crying during toasts, the candid moments while dancing, all the way to the emotional send-off at the end of the night.

ON A PERSONAL LEVEL

ABOUT ME


My husband, Dylan, and I have been married for 6 years and he is truly the best decision I ever made. Our own wedding inspired me to start photographing weddings and to this day, it continues to inspire my work. Together, we have formed a little family with our dog, Atlas.


My dream travel destinations are Switzerland and Iceland, but we are ready to travel anywhere! So far our favorite travels have been to the Bahamas, Panama, Colorado, Maine, Oregon and Hawaii.


I do love staying in and watching my comfort shows, but we absolutely love spending time with our family and close friends. If you ask them, they will tell you that I am the planner of all things. I love hosting and as a group we love putting together intimate themed gatherings and we cherish the time we spend eating and laughing.

STEP ONE - THE CONSULTATION


I like to get to know my brides and grooms, and have them get to know me to ensure that we are a good fit. I do realize this will be an investment and a very important part of your day. So we will schedule a complimentary, no strings attached, consultation. This can be in the form of a Facetime call or an in-person meeting.

Throughout this stage, I will provide guides like this with tips for sessions and wedding planning. I'll be open for any questions or concerns you may have. I want to help make your day as stress-free as possible. We’ll book your engagement and/or bridal sessions. About a month before the wedding, I send a questionnaire to help create your personalized timeline.

STEP FIVE - THE DELIVERY


You can expect sneak peeks within a week of the wedding. I deliver about 50 images per hour, the best of the best. I will spend hours perfecting your gallery and will deliver it within 6 weeks of your wedding day.

Mirsa wasn't only a wonderful photographer she’s also a great person/friend! We found Mirsa on Google and the second we met her she didn’t feel like a stranger!


Mirsa shot our engagement photos and spring wedding and we couldn’t have been anymore pleased with the outcome!


If you’re looking for a professional, fun, and down to earth person to cover your special events I couldn’t recommend a better photographer to get the job done!

ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS

The engagement session allows us to get comfortable with each other. Most people agree that being in front of the camera can feel awkward at first. However, a more relaxed environment with much less pressure than the wedding day will help us connect and I promise you will feel more confident being in front of the camera by the end of the session.


Engagement sessions include the following:

  • 90 minutes
  • 1-2 outfits
  • 1-2 locations
  • Online gallery with a minimum of 60 high resolution images


After booking, I provide a guide on engagement sessions that include location suggestions, what to wear, and other tips.

SECOND SHOOTERS


What is a second shooter?

It is someone who I trust to take beautiful photos and can assist with other parts of the day while I am 100% focused on you, basically allowing me to be in two places at once.


Should I add one to my package?

If you answer yes to any of the following questions, you should consider it.

  • Are the bride and groom getting ready at different locations?
  • Do you want photos of the same moment from different angles?
  • Do you have a large bridal party?
  • Do you have a fun cocktail hour planned for your guests?
  • Is your reception space set up going to be finished during said cocktail hour and want photos of the space before all the guests enter?


What jobs do they fulfill?

  • Taking photos of the groom and groomsmen while I take photos of the bride and bridesmaids.
  • Making sure you don't accidentally see each other until you're ready.
  • Running to grab the forgotten bouquet or the stray family member that wandered off during family photos.
  • Focusing on your loved ones’ reactions.
  • Getting candid shots of your guests during cocktail hour.
  • and so, so, so much more.



A second shooter in your package is very valuable. Galleries with a second shooter usually allow for over 200 extra images.

BRIDAL SESSION

What is a bridal session?

It is a photo session in your wedding dress/attire that takes place before the wedding day.


Why should I consider adding one to my package?

  • We can get dreamy & creative bridal images without the pressure of time and nerves.
  • Less time for photos on the wedding day equals more time with each other and your guests. You can actually enjoy cocktail hour!
  • It can take place at an entirely different location than your venue. For example, if your venue is in the city, but you want trees and lush greenery in your photos.



Can the groom be a part of the session too?

Yes, if you are comfortable with him seeing you in the dress before the wedding! If not, we can schedule it up to one month after the wedding.


SAMPLE TIMELINE

Timeline planning is something that I do for every one of my couples. It is very important as sticking to a timeline maximizes the time you spend with the people that are surrounding you and celebrating your love. Here is the amount of time I recommend allowing for each portion of the day.

FAQ

 

Do you offer any discounts?

At this time, I do not offer discounts.

Can I remove the engagement session and get a discount?

No, the engagement session is complimentary. It is my way of getting to know you in a more relaxed environment.

What does a payment plan consist of?

I require a non-refundable retainer (40% of the total cost) to secure your date. You may then choose to pay as much and as often as you'd like as long as payment is received in full 30 days before the wedding day.

What do you charge for travel?

You will receive a quote for travel. This will then be included in the final amount of your wedding package. I will arrange for my own travel and accommodation.

What if we need to cancel or reschedule? Or what if you can’t make it?

I do not plan on missing your big day! However, sometimes unexpected events happen and we must change the plan. I have included clauses in my contract that cover a variety of scenarios and ensure that you still get top notch service. You will be able to review these before you book your date.

Can you photoshop us?

We've all heard the phrase "Can you photoshop me to look skinnier?" The answer in short, is no. I do, however, remove blemishes and distracting background objects/people as I see necessary. Trust that I put a lot of effort into making your images beautiful without altering how beautiful you look that day.

Mirsa is an outstanding photographer who we had the pleasure of having as part of our wedding. She was not just a photographer who captures the perfect moment of your wedding/engagement...she became a big part of our wedding! She made sure that we had everything set perfectly to give us the best memories of our day! The end result was absolutely amazing with photos that were just right at every angle, Thank you so much Mirsa you are the absolute best and exceeded our expectations in every way!!

HOW DO WE WORK TOGETHER?


I always want couples to feel solid about working with me. Your photographer is going to be with you on the most important day and you should feel confident and comfortable with them.


Regardless of your budget, I would LOVE to schedule a call to get to know each other, talk about your wedding vision and answer any additional questions you might have.


You can click on my scheduling link in the email I sent you to set up a time that works for your schedule. If you are not available at any of the listed times, please email me and we can work something out!



I'm looking forward to connecting with you!

A  HEARTFELT

THANK  YOU

I am truly blessed to have this job. Documenting people in love on the most important day is not something that I take for granted. I understand the importance and weight of the job.


So thank you for even considering me to be the one who has the honor of photographing such a special occasion.


More than anything, I want my presence there to be one that makes you feel at ease and makes the day feel a little bit more like a dream because you know you will be taken care of.


Enjoy this time planning and dreaming, while I look forward to walking in to your wedding morning ready to document photos that will let you relive how it felt over and over for years to come.




All my best,

Mirsa Gage
