You're dreaming of saying your vows somewhere wild and unforgettable.
You want someone who’s all in—who spends the time to understand you and build a wedding experience that’s completely your own.
You want to just be there — fully present —while someone who knows what they’re doing takes care of the rest.

SPOILER: NOT ALL wedding PACKAGES ARE CREATED EQUAL
WHERE the hell do we even go? How do we choose?
Yeah… the analysis paralysis and FOMO are very real.
WHAT comes first? Venue, photographer, or package? Because somehow this turned into a full-blown spiral.
HOW do we even do this? Like… what about the legal stuff? The logistics? Getting married somewhere we’ve never even been??
You splurge on a photographer who cares so much about boosting their portfolio that they don't take the time to get to know you and you end up feeling like puppets on a string, not even like you're connecting on wedding day.
You get a photographer who doesn't tell you what to do and you're left feeling like your day was entirely awkward moments.

You get a photographer who doesn't tell you what to do and you're left feeling like your day was entirely awkward moments.
or
From the very first inquiry call, we ask you about how you fell in love, why your wedding is special, how you want it to feel, and all the random stories that make you ... YOU! We also set up a phone date before the wedding so you can meet your photographer and tell us more about the most important wedding day moments! If it's important to you, it's important to us.
WE ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR LOVE STORY
While we create tiered packages with hours included, it's more about how you want to spend your wedding weekend. Is it one day, or a multi-day event where your guests can look back on this as the best wedding/vacation of all time?
OUR PACKAGES ARE BUILT AROUND YOUR EXPERIENCE, NOT JUST HOURS
I cap it at 15 weddings a year, which means you get me fully in your corner. I send you a list of vendors we've worked with in the past, get you on a planning 1:1 call with me when you have wedding planning anxieties, and create the photo timeline.
You get to relax, go with the flow, and only deal with the fun stuff.

Kelsey absolutely killed it! A true professional in her line of work. Our photography captured everything we wanted from our day and more, encompassing the whole scene and mood of our rainy wedding day.
She was involved and helpful in guiding posed images, but also just a fly on the wall for some moments that I didn't even realize were being photographed, a perfect combination in my opinion. And while being a super hype gal and having high energy, she is also suuuper chill at the same time, never rushing and always making us feel at ease.
We've had so many guests say how much they enjoyed our photographer at the wedding and they haven't even seen the pictures yet! Can't wait to share them!
-Maggie & Aryln, Eloped in Montana
I cannot say enough good things about Kelsey and Jake! As I was researching destination photographers, I was so nervous! It’s a big expense, and they are literally the photo/video historians of your day, so you wanna get it right! I had interviewed several other photographers before finding Honeybee, but once I met with Kesley, I knew I had found my match!! On the actual wedding day it was like hanging out with old friends, who wanted to make sure your day was perfect! We had a timeline, but the day moved at our pace, and we were so happy! If you are on the fence about who to hire, just know you couldn’t ask for a better team! Thank you guys so much, we will cherish these photos, and our video forever!!!
-Erica & Nate, Eloped at Cannon Beach, Oregon
Aside from each other, selecting Honeybee Weddings as our photographer & videographer team is hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day.
Kelsey not only brings the energy and great attitude, but is supremely organized. She offered up advice, shared ideas, and recommended vendors she’d worked with in the past.
The day of our wedding, we were running a bit behind our schedule, we decided to do impromptu “first look” photos, and we experienced a thunderstorm. The Honeybee Weddings team rolled with all of the punches, shared their umbrellas, and just kept smiling and doing their thing.
On top of their flexibility, organization, overall hype, & wonderful personalities, they really went above and beyond with the final product–our photos and video are absolutely fantastic, better than we could have hoped for. They captured the joy, the beauty, the chaos, and the love of our special day. Thank you so much, Honeybee team!
