Optional Add-ons

  • Add-on an “engagement” or pre-wedding session

    about an hour of an on-location engagement session within the SF Bay area

    Photographed on both digital + film

    *I’d love to gift this session if you end up booking with a couple of caveats: 1) If the engagement session can take place during the weekday/night and 2) I can share a couple of images on my website :)

  • For most of my weddings I photograph solo and am very comfortable doing so. Weddings with a guest count of 120 or less - I have found that a second isn’t always necessary but is a nice bonus, especially if capturing the celebrations on a lot of film. However, I do suggest one if you will have more than 175+ guests and will be getting ready at two different locations that I wouldn’t be able to get to by myself or with ample drive time to and from.

    6 hour minimum coverage

    I usually photograph with my husband on some weddings but when he is not available I have a trusted list of established wedding photographers that I work well with and trust.

  • Includes travel and 2.5 hours on an additional day.

    Add coverage for the day before your wedding to document welcome gatherings, rehearsal dinners, relaxed time with friends and family, or post-wedding brunch. This is a more candid, low-pressure way to capture the full story of your celebration weekend.

  • If you want to add more time to your coverage - maybe you want me for more of the after party or more for the getting ready OR even the day before or after…happy to capture all your celebrations.

Reflections on the Experience

“We worked with Cherlyn for our engagement and our wedding, and could not have asked for a better photographer. First and foremost, her photos are amazing. All of our family and friends who are into photography are impressed by her skills. Her ability to "chase the light" and capture those special moments led to many breathtaking photos. More importantly, Cherlyn made us feel comfortable throughout our photoshoots, especially since we are not the most extroverted couple. With her direction, we managed to look natural in our posed and candid photos, which is not an easy feat. We also appreciate how quickly Cherlyn works, as she sent over sneak peaks mere days after our engagement and our wedding. It was easy to communicate with her throughout the planning process, and we cannot thank her enough for her support. We highly recommend Cherlyn as the photographer for your event.”

“We absolutely loved working with Cherlyn as our wedding photographer! From start to finish, she made everything feel so natural and comfortable. Her friendly and easygoing personality really put us at ease during the shoots, which made for authentic and beautiful photos. Cherlyn was fantastic at giving thoughtful feedback and had wonderful input on the flow of the day. On top of that, she was very responsive and timely with delivering photos, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. She truly captured all the special moments with such care and creativity. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer!”

My wife and I hired Cherlyn for engagement and wedding photos, and we both agree that it was the best wedding decision we made. Neither of us is naturally the most comfortable having our photo taken, but Cherlyn immediately made us feel at ease in our engagement session, and the photos came out so beautiful. My wife also surprised me with a book of boudoir photos that Cherlyn took as a wedding gift, and they are breathtaking. After our wedding, Cherlyn sent us a sneak peek the very next day, and we were in tears looking through the photos. We truly never imagined that we would have such beautiful photos of the two of us, so we have been just blown away by Cherlyn's work. We can't wait to get the full gallery. Cherlyn is a really special person, and we will cherish these photos forever. Thank you Cherlyn

What’s Next?


Need more information or have some additional concerns? No worries, let me know how I can help.

If you are interested but want to fully customize your day with additional coverage or anything else, then let me know.

If you two decide to move forward then next steps would be:

Sending over a draft of your contract for your review. Once all looks good, I’ll send the final contract via adobe sign for all our digital signatures. Once signed, an invoice will be sent for 25% of the total package fee as the non-refundable retainer to reserve your date on my calendar via Square invoicing. Once payment is received - then booking is confirmed and your date is officially reserved on my calendar (woo hoo!) and I will no longer be available to any other session or events, as I’m all yours on your date! The remaining balance is due two weeks before your wedding date.
