What is your style?
How long have you been photographing weddings?
I blend both editorial and documentary styles to give wedding images a unique style and feel. A modern twist inspired by vintage film photography, if you will.
This is my 8th year full time! I quit my day job in public relations in 2015 when I shot my first wedding and I've never looked back! I truly and completely have fallen in love with weddings & my couples.
What kind of gear do you use?
How many weddings have you photographed?
I stopped counting after 200... a LOT!
I use a mix of vintage film cameras (mostly 35mm point & shoot) as well as professional Sony bodies & lenses.
I love the film look, but how does that work with our galleries? Is film included?
Do you back up your images?
Yep! All film processing & scanning is included in all wedding and elopement collections. If it's been awhile since you've been to a 1-hour photo, film processing & scanning means your film negatives being processed and developed by my professional film lab and then scanned into a digital format that flows seamlessly into your final wedding gallery. I shoot both digital and film so you'll have a good mix of both.
Yes & yes & YES. All your images are backed up onto multiple external drives as well as cloud drives. All film rolls are overnighted to my professional film lab and memory cards are not cleared until wedding delivery.
Where are you based? Do you travel?
How many images do you deliver?
A lot! Depending on how many hours of coverage, events, etc., you can expect 300+ images for weddings, 200+ for elopements/micro weddings, and 60+ for couples sessions.
I live in Holland, Michigan on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan. I love local weddings but my bags are always packed, passport always updated, and I travel for about 80% of my weddings. When you reach out, I'll give you a custom travel quote based on where your nuptials are being held. I book all my own travel to make things super easy.
What is included in your collections?
How do we book you?
Every collection includes a consultation, timeline assistance, coverage by yours truly, an online viewing/download gallery, film processing/scanning, and reprint rights.
Fill out the contact page (or email me directly kristen@maudlinco.com) and I'll respond with my availability and schedule a phone consult if I'm open on your date. I require a 50% retainer and signed agreement in order to reserve your date. I receive new inquiries every day so I'll need both of these in order to block off your date. The remaining 50% is due 1 month prior to your wedding date.
we love your work but we're really awkward in front of the camera and are worried we might not get great photos!
Can we meet you before our wedding day?
Sure thing! It's so important that you feel comfortable with me (I'll be spending the whole wedding day with you!) so I set up a video consult with all my couples prior to booking. Photographers all have different vibes they bring to your day, and you'll want to make sure you have one that resonates with you. I don't have a large presence on your wedding day. The day is about you and your loved ones, not about me! Everyone approaches this differently, so let's set up a chance to meet and see if we're the right fit!
Unless you come from a modeling background, it's completely normal to have this fear! 99% of my couples have brought this concern up at one point or another, and it's okay to feel this way. I can absolutely assure you there is no need to be worried! Every couple in images you've seen on my website, instagram, or features, has shared this exact fear. But I make the whole process so comfortable for you! Portraits feel less like a photo shoot and more like a relaxed hangout. I promise you the worries will melt away once we get started!
DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS?
Nope. My wedding photography career is how I pay my bills. My pricing reflects my decade of experience in the luxury wedding industry market, my expertise, talent, and cost of goods/time spent in order to bring an incredible experience for each and every one of my couples.
Formal reviews can be found from planners & wedding websites, but these texts from my couples are my absolute favorite <3
