Intimate Wedding Photography Investment Guide
Effortless & Refined Imagery focused on Genuine Moments
Natural, editorial wedding photography and videography for modern couples who value beauty, emotion, and authenticity.
Your Wedding Story, Told with Intention and Elegance
Our vision has been shaped through years of study and the experience of documenting hundreds of meaningful celebrations. We approach each wedding as storytellers, blending a natural documentary perspective with refined editorial portraiture.
The result is imagery that feels effortless, timeless, and emotionally honest, allowing you to return not only to how your day looked, but to how it truly felt.
venues we know intimately
An absolute dream to work with.
The kindness, attention to detail and passion for what they do.
They really know how to capture the intimate, funny and loving experiences of a wedding specific to the couple. Oscar made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and put us at ease. I am so happy and grateful to have been able to work with Oscar and Mena.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW MANY PHOTOS DO YOU DELIVER?
I deliver around 50-75 edited images per hour of coverage
DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE?
Yes of course! Many venues require vendors to have insurance, and I have a policy that meets their requirements. I can send a Certificate of Insurance (COI) upon request.
WHO WILL OUR SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER BE?
Your wedding will be photographed by us as a team. Oscar is your lead photographer, and Mena is your second photographer and assistant. We are a husband and wife team who have worked side by side for over 10 years.
Because we know each other’s rhythm and creative approach so well, our coverage feels seamless and natural. While Oscar focuses on the main moments and storytelling, Mena captures additional perspectives, candid guest interactions, and the in-between moments that complete your day.
WHAT IF YOU HAVEN'T WORKED AT OUR VENUE BEFORE?
It really doesn’t make a difference if I haven’t worked at your venue before. I’m always in communication with the venue coordinator before the wedding day, and always arrive early on wedding days to scout the best places for photos. (I don’t do venue walkthroughs before the wedding day because factors like weather, time of year, and time of day will drastically affect the lighting, which is the number one thing I’m looking for when finding great spots.)
CAN WE ADD A WEDDING ALBUM LATER?
You bet! Lots of couples will order their wedding album after they’ve received their photos after the wedding. I’ll design a custom layout of your wedding day, and we’ll start the design process!
How long will it take to get my wedding photos back?
During wedding season our turn-around time is 6-8 weeks. However, we always deliver sneak-peek photos the morning after your wedding.
What are your payment methods?
You can pay by credit card or eTransfer. Our payment schedule is divided into three equal payments.
To officially reserve your date, we begin with a one-third retainer at booking. The second one-third is due halfway between booking and your wedding day, and the final installment is due two weeks before the celebration.
We are so grateful to have picked such awesome photographers!
The photos perfectly captured our intimate and special occassion. To say we are obsessed is an understatement! We highly recommend Oscar LaVerde Photography. You will not be dissapointed.
