photography pricing + creating your custom package
are we your dream team?
We want you to love your photos
This means loving our style & making sure we're the best fit for your dream team! My Whole Heart Collective is a team of artists, owned and operated by Nicole Kilday & Ashley Bowling. This helps us span the distance in service area as well as be in two places at once. That also means that our couples have the opportunity to not only have two amazing pre-wedding day teammates for planning, prepping, and brainstorming - but also access to our amazing team members if you opt for two photographers for your best day ever. With our collective of artists, this gives added creativity to the mix, but also added insurance in the unfortunate case of an emergency.
We are not for everyone. And we're okay with that. We only say this because most importantly, we want our couples to trust us and know that as artists & friends, WE GOT YOU. And it's 100% OKAY if our art isn't your style. Ultimately, you can’t ask Picasso to paint a Michelangelo. We want you guys to love your images in terms of the posing as well as the editing! After all, these photos will last longer than our lifetime!
What makes us the right fit? You love love our art and want it plastered all over your home of you and your loved one(s). You would rather play tag barefoot, grab your lovers hiney mid-smooch, + shake your ass to your fave jam with a third wheel.
This all goes back to trusting your photographer - truly. Love is wild, ebbs + flows, and sometimes it’s nice to set the hustle + bustle down to just HAVE FUN. Zero worries and actin’ a crazy-lovin’ fool with your favorite weirdo (+ us hehe). This means trusting the process during your photography sessions.
Our biggest hope for our couples (and honestly all couples looking for their perfect match for wedding photography) - is that you feel your photographer's art speaks to you in more ways than just a pretty picture and that you connect with your photographer(s) in a personal way.

our style
First and foremost, we’re artists in this profession. We’ve spent years practicing, educating, and growing as artists in terms of the technicalities of photography as well as the behind the scenes post-processing and editing.
Our style is ever-evolving as we grow and experience new opportunities; however, we always gravitate to a posing style that is hyper focused on the natural, raw, authentic interactions & movement in each love story. We love a good snuggly and candid vibe and are focused on welcoming you as you are so we can document the good stuff in your own unique love story.

We want you to know that we're willing to go the distance for love! Since 2016, we've journeyed across the United States to capture couples in love and it's been a highlight of our adventure. We've witnessed the beauty of the Midwest's cornfields, explored the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee, hiked through Ohio's Hocking Hills, visited Martha's Vineyard and various spots on the East Coast, and ventured through Denver and its surrounding areas. It's been an honor to be invited along to capture couples' dream wedding days. If you're up for an exciting journey together, count us in!
