Proudly Capturing Weddings, Elopements, Couples and Authentic Connections
Most couples tell me they forgot I was even there, and that’s exactly the point. I capture the spontaneous stuff: the laughter, the tears, the quiet glances, and the chaos on the dance floor. And when you do need help in front of the camera, you’ll get real guidance, not cheesy prompts. My focus is on connection, not performance.
Here’s How It Works
01
Discovery Call
We talk through how you want your day to feel. What your priorities are. How I can help you.
02
Booking and Planning
Signed Agreement plus a first retainer payment of $1500. You get full access to my calendar, a prep guide and timeline help, no guessing. Im here to support you.
03
Final Touchpoint
We lock in the details before the big day.
04
Wedding Day
You live it. I document it. No interruptions.
05
Gallery Delivery
Sneak peeks within 1 week. Your full gallery arrives within one month, ready to download and share. Printing available. Albums available
06
Engagement Sessions, On the House
Every 2026 and 2027 wedding package includes a complimentary engagement session. No pressure to use it. Just a chance to get comfortable with me first.
You’re not hiring someone to just show up and click a shutter. You’re trusting someone with one of the biggest days of your life. I don’t direct your day. I blend into it, watch for what actually happens, and hand you back images that feel like you, not content.
Documentary. I stay present and capture what naturally unfolds, without posed interruptions. I step in with relaxed direction only when it actually helps.
Five stages: a discovery call, booking and planning with a tailored prep guide and timeline help, a final touchpoint, the wedding day itself, and gallery delivery within one month.
Starting at 8 hours of documentary coverage, an optional second photographer, planning support, a high-resolution gallery with a built-in print store, print rights, and secure backup.
Wedding photography starts at $3,800. Full pricing details are at michaelfreas.com/wedding-photography-pricing/
Yes. Every 2026 and 2027 wedding package includes a complimentary engagement session. It’s optional, but time together before the wedding tends to make wedding day coverage feel even more natural.
Yes. Alongside Asheville and Western North Carolina, I photograph weddings in the Florida Keys, Greenville, Highlands, Charleston, and destinations across the country.
Love, Stephanie and Nathan
