It's so important to all of us over at My Whole Heart Collective that you find art + artists you absolutely love (both inside and out). That being said, our services & pricing guide is a little different from most. We'd love for you to find out if My Whole Heart Collective is the right fit for your love story by getting to know us, our mission, and determine if we're your dream team for your best day ever before making any decisions. We know this choice is so incredibly important as these images will last longer than us; and we want you to be madly in love with our style, and have an idea of the experience you receive when working with us!

If all of these things tick off your boxes for your 'must-haves', wants, and all your hopes & dreams - check out our wedding & elopement pricing! Take a look around and build your own custom collection - OR - better yet, reach out to have us build it for you. We know a thing or two on timeline planning after a combined 10 years in the industry & are happy to help. ;)

Are you opting to adventure outside of our travel range (40 mile radius from Pingree Grove, IL)? We're so stinkin' there - go over the details in our travel info!

Not sure whether or not you should have 1 or 2 photographers for your day? Having multiple photographers can help with time management, and is especially helpful if we need to be in two places at once. This saves time in the morning for getting ready as well as during bridal party photos and more throughout your day. Having multiple photographers can also give you multiple perspectives - capturing both of your reactions during first look & ceremony (one photographer can capture you walking down the aisle while the other can capture the groom’s reaction), the behind-the-scene moments you may have missed with your guests, and much more.

Keep in mind: if you opt for 2 photographers, depending on our availability, you might not have both of us present on your day, but instead, one of us and one of our rockstar team mates!
In the incredibly rare event neither of us are able to attend your big day (cue the tears), you have the option of working with our team of Associate Photographers. Our team of associate photographers were hand selected by us to seamlessly mesh with our brand & style of photography. In the event an associate photographer has to step in, we can assure you, you’re in amazing hands. Not to mention, we won’t be out of the loop at any point in time as we will still be here to handle all of the pre & post processing. The perks are - you gain an extra (or 2) creative to brainstorm ideas, bring additional talent to the table, and even more friends to share in this journey.

how many coverage hours?

Our curated photography collection starts with 4 hours of photography coverage, which is enough to cover "the basics" such as ceremony, cocktail hour, family photos, and portraits. However, a standard recommended timeline for photography coverage is 8 hours and spans everything from getting ready moments to boogying down on the dance floor. That is assuming everything will be happening on-site at one location and doesn’t account for events that may require more travel time; AKA if you'll be getting ready or hosting ceremony at separate locations from the reception, etc. We can help you determine how much time you’ll need and whether or not we think you’d want to consider an additional photographer!
additional photographers
Having had the honor of documenting 100+ weddings and elopements since 2016, we know that not every love story is a "one size fits all". we offer a fully customized experience and create a curated photography collection just for you.
traveling for love
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!
