Pre-Wedding Portraits
Your love story, captured with romance and refinement. Pre-wedding portraits are a beautiful way to infuse creativity into your engagement journey—seamlessly blending style, intimacy, and artistry.
Before your session, I’ll guide you through every detail—helping you select the perfect location, curate a wardrobe that reflects your story, and craft an aesthetic that feels authentically you. During the shoot, I’ll provide gentle direction and natural prompts, allowing your connection to unfold effortlessly. The result? Elegant, emotive portraits that encapsulate your love in its purest form.
Pre-wedding portraits not only celebrate this fleeting chapter of your lives but also help you feel at ease in front of the camera—ensuring a relaxed, effortless experience on your wedding day.
Pre-Wedding Portrait Sessions are exclusively available for Ambre Nuit wedding couples and are included with every wedding collection. To further elevate your experience, bespoke portrait albums and beautifully designed guest-signing books are also available.
Multi-Day Weekend Coverage
Your wedding is more than just a day—it’s a story woven through moments big and small. Our multi-day coverage ensures that every chapter is beautifully captured, from the excitement of an intimate rehearsal dinner or welcome party to the vibrant energy of a Mehndi or Haldi celebration.
By adding multi-day coverage, we can document your wedding journey in its entirety, preserving the emotional connections and first celebrations leading up to your big day. These moments allow us to capture the reunions, laughter, and anticipation, giving you a complete and deeply personal collection of memories to relive for years to come.
Beyond storytelling, these early events give us the opportunity to connect with your closest loved ones, understand family dynamics, and create a more seamless experience for your wedding day. It’s also a perfect time to step away for a few minutes and enjoy a mini portrait session, showcasing your elegant event attire in a relaxed and stylish setting.
Multi-Day Photography Coverage is available exclusively for Ambre Nuit wedding couples, with investment starting at $1,600 for up to 2 hours of event coverage.
Drone Photography
Take your wedding story to new heights with breathtaking aerial imagery. Drone photography unveils a stunning new perspective—capturing sweeping landscapes, cinematic compositions, and intimate moments from above. These ethereal aerial shots add depth, artistry, and a rare beauty to your wedding gallery, preserving the grandeur of your day in a way that feels both timeless and dreamlike.
Whenever possible, we include drone coverage as part of your customized Ambre Nuit wedding collection. This is ideal for outdoor celebrations set against exquisite backdrops—whether a sunlit waterfront estate, a romantic vineyard, a mountaintop retreat, or the manicured gardens of a historic estate. These soaring perspectives enrich your visual narrative, immersing you in the full splendor of your setting.
While drone photography elevates storytelling, some locations—such as Washington, D.C.—have airspace restrictions. Additionally, drones can only operate under favorable weather, wind, and lighting conditions. Our FAA-certified, licensed drone photographers carefully assess conditions throughout your wedding day to ensure the best possible coverage, capturing your love story with artistry, precision, and an unrivaled sense of place.
Editorial Content Creation for Socials
Beginning in 2025, we are offering an exclusive add-on for social media content creation—capturing the intimate, high-energy, and behind-the-scenes viral moments of your wedding day. And who better to document these than your wedding photography team, who will already be by your side, capturing every moment from the best angles?
Let us handle the filming so you can stay fully present. You’ll receive hundreds of phone video clips with audio from your wedding day, delivered directly to your phone that same night—ready to share with friends, post to your heart’s content, and relive your celebration all over again, even on your honeymoon.
Investment begins at $200 for two consecutive hours of coverage (available exclusively for Ambre Nuit Weddings). This service can be included in your wedding photography collection or booked à la carte before your wedding for added flexibility.

Albums & Artwork
Fleeting moments become timeless heirlooms through the art of print. By meticulously preserving every detail and heartfelt emotion of your wedding day, we offer a curated collection of fine-art albums, framed photographs, and heirloom artwork—each designed to enrich your home and legacy for generations to come.
Your heirloom wedding album serves as more than a keepsake; it is a chapter in your family’s history, carrying the essence of your love story forward. Each flush-mount album is masterfully crafted to reflect the beauty of your wedding day, with every page hand-assembled using the finest archival techniques and premium materials. Our museum-grade, acid-free photographic paper ensures lasting vibrancy, while thick, gap-free pages are seamlessly creased for a flawless lay-flat design. The exterior is elegantly wrapped in luxurious Italian leather or fine fabric, creating a tactile experience that feels as exquisite as the moments it holds.
Investment begins at $1,000 for a bespoke 8” × 8” parent album, with most couples investing an average of $3,500 in albums and artwork. Albums can be included in your wedding photography collection or purchased à la carte before or after your wedding for added flexibility.
Golden Hour
Sailboat Sessions
Pop the bubbly and set sail on a photographic adventure of a lifetime. Join me for magic hour on the water with a romantic sailboat portrait session, where golden light dances on the waves and every moment feels cinematic. Imagine sipping champagne as the sun sets, casting a warm glow over the Chesapeake, Potomac, Hudson, or beyond. What better way to document your engagement, elopement, or reimagine your wedding portraits than with the dreamiest backdrop—open waters at golden hour?
I am based in Washington, D.C., Annapolis, St. Michaels, and Manhattan, serving coastal cities and sailing towns along the East Coast.
Drone photography is included where available to capture stunning aerial perspectives. As all sails are weather-dependent, sessions will be rescheduled in the case of rain.
Investment begins at $1,200 for a 1.5-hour session, plus the cost of chartering a sailboat in your desired location.
