OUR PHILOSOPHY
WE BELIEVE JOYFUL, TIMELESS WEDDING
IMAGES SHOULD BE AVAILABLE
Over the years, we’ve met so many amazing couples who we are unable to serve on their wedding day because we are already booked or out of budget for their big day. Because of this, we decided it was time to expand our team, and the Lovelee Associate Program was born! The Lovelee Associate Program allows us to serve these couples by offering bright, timeless wedding photography with more availability and at a lower price point; while receiving the same Lovelee care and client experience!
Lovelee Associate Program packages include two photographers on your wedding day (over 5 hours), a personal online gallery with high resolution files and print release; as well as the same personal care and dedication to your photo development by yours truly!
Our associates are carefully hand-selected, after passing a rigorous application process. All of them come with a wealth of experience and a high standard of excellence in posing, premium photography, and client care & dedication. After all, the experience has always been just as important to us as the quality!
