Black Friday Wedding Photography Sale: How to Book Your Dream Photographer Without the Budget Guilt

Let's be honest—wedding budgets are tight.

You've been scrolling, comparing, calculating... and wondering if you can really afford the photographer whose work makes your heart skip a beat.

I get it. Booking your wedding photographer feels like one more big expense in an already overwhelming budget. You want those beautiful, timeless photos you've been dreaming of—but the investment? That's the part that makes you hesitate.

What if there was a way to get exactly what you want without the budget stress?

Here's the good news: right now, you can.

This Black Friday, Everything Changes

From now through December 6, 2025, I'm offering $500 off all wedding photography collections (except Essentials).

That's $500 back in your budget for:

• Your honeymoon

• That upgraded venue you've been eyeing

• Finally saying yes to the dress

• Those flowers you thought were out of budget

• An extra day of celebration

Same exceptional service. Same timeless photos. Better timing for your wallet.

The Obstacle I Know You're Facing

I've talked to hundreds of engaged couples over the years, and I hear the same things:

"We need to save a little more."

"Let's wait until after the holidays."

"Maybe we can find something cheaper."

And I understand. Wedding expenses add up fast, and photography is a significant investment. But here's the thing about waiting: the photographer you want might not wait for you.

With only 15 weddings per year on my calendar, dates fill quickly. Especially popular months like May, June, September, and October. The couples who act fast get their dream date locked in. The ones who wait? They miss out.

Why I Only Photograph 15 Weddings Per Year

You might be wondering why I cap my bookings at just 15 weddings annually. It's simple: quality over quantity, every single time.

When I limit my calendar, it means:

You get my full attention. I'm not juggling 40 or 50 weddings a year. I have time to answer your emails promptly, schedule your engagement session at a convenient time, and be fully present throughout your planning journey.

No photographer burnout. Wedding photography is physically and emotionally demanding. When you show up to 15 weddings instead of 50, you bring fresh creative energy to each one. Your photos reflect that.

Faster turnaround times. I'm not drowning in a backlog of weddings. You'll get your gallery within the promised timeline without sacrificing quality.

I remember YOUR story. I remember your venue, your vision, what matters most to you. I'm not trying to keep 50 couples straight in my head.

Peace of mind on your wedding day. You're working with someone who shows up fully present, captures every moment authentically, delivers a gallery you'll treasure forever, and makes the entire experience effortless.

But this limited availability also means something important: when those 15 spots are gone, they're gone.

What I Don't Want for You

I don't want you settling for a photographer you're "meh" about because of budget.

I don't want you looking back and wishing you'd invested in better photos.

I don't want you regretting waiting too long and missing this offer.

Your wedding photos aren't just an expense—they're the one thing you'll have long after the cake is gone and the flowers have wilted.

Picture This: 5, 10, 20 Years From Now

Close your eyes and picture this:

It's 5, 10, 20 years from now. You're flipping through your wedding album with your kids, reliving every beautiful moment of your wedding day.

The photos are timeless. The memories are vivid. And you're so grateful you didn't let budget fears stop you from getting exactly what you wanted.

That future starts with a decision you make today.

Here's What Makes This Offer Different

This isn't just a discount. It's an opportunity to book the photographer you've been dreaming about without compromising your budget for everything else.

The Details:

• $500 off all wedding photography collections (Essentials excluded)

• Offer valid: Now through December 6, 2025

• Available for: 2026 and 2027 wedding dates

• Limited spots: Remember, I only take 15 weddings per year

What You Still Get:

• Full-day wedding coverage

• Complimentary engagement session

• High-resolution online gallery

• Timeline planning assistance

• Vendor coordination support

• My candid, photojournalistic photography style

• Professional editing with fast turnaround

• Over a decade of experience (since 2012)

• Someone who's photographed 100+ Ohio weddings

The only thing that's different? The price. The quality? That never changes.

Why Black Friday Is the Perfect Time to Book Your Wedding Photographer

You might think, "Why would I book my wedding photographer during Black Friday? Shouldn't I wait until I have everything else figured out?"

Here's the truth: booking your photographer early is one of the smartest moves you can make.

For 2026 weddings, you should be booking your photographer right now if you haven't already. Popular dates are filling fast, especially for spring and fall weddings.

For 2027 weddings, now is the ideal time to start your search. You're ahead of the game, you get your first choice of dates, and with this Black Friday offer, you're saving $500 while you're at it.

Think about it: would you rather book now and save $500, or wait a few months and pay full price (if your date is even still available)?

The Obstacle Holding You Back

I know what's been holding you back.

You've been scrolling, comparing, calculating... and wondering if you can really afford the photographer whose work makes your heart skip a beat.

You want beautiful photos. You want someone who captures authentic moments. You want a photographer who makes you feel comfortable and makes the whole process easy.

But the budget? That's the sticking point.

This Black Friday, that obstacle disappears.

For a limited time, booking your dream photographer becomes possible—without the budget guilt, without the stress, without the compromise.

Limited Spots for 2026 (And They're Going Fast)

Here's what you need to know: my 2026 calendar is already filling up.

Fall dates? Nearly gone.

Spring and early summer? Booking quickly.

If you're planning a 2026 wedding and you don't have your photographer yet, this is your wake-up call.

With only 15 total spots available for the entire year, and popular months booking first, time is literally running out.

Add in a $500 discount, and those remaining spots will fill even faster.

Real Talk: Your Wedding Photos Are Worth It

I'm going to be real with you for a minute.

Your wedding will fly by faster than you can imagine. One day, you're walking down the aisle. The next, you're saying goodbye to the last guest.

When it's over, what do you have?

Your marriage (the most important part, obviously).

And your photos.

That's it. Everything else is a memory that will fade over time.

Your photos are the tangible pieces of that day. They're what you'll show your kids someday. They're what you'll look at on anniversaries. They're what will make you tear up 20 years from now when you remember how young you were, how in love you were, how perfect that day was.

Can you really put a price on that?
