WEDDINGS

A wedding day usually includes all the familiar elements you think of when you picture a wedding: getting ready with your wedding party, a ceremony surrounded by family and friends, portraits, dinner, toasts, and a full reception with dancing late into the night. Traditional vibes or not, your wedding brings together all of your people in one place to celebrate you and your partner. At the heart of it, your wedding is just the beginning of your lives together and your story. 

In our case: Intimate wedding or large party, these are for when you celebrate your nuptials and pledge your love to your partner with those that are closest to you.

ELOPEMENTS

Origin: The earliest sense of elope was “escape” or “flee,” and one might argue that this is somehow connected to the way people are now sometimes using it in the context of weddings. Except that this definition does not mean "escape" as in "let’s escape from it all," but rather "let’s grab the keys from the orderly and make a break for it!" The etymology of elope matches this sense, as the word comes from the Anglo-French aloper, meaning “to abduct, run away."

In our case: Elopements are when you and your partner run away to your favorite place to get forever hitched to your favorite person and do whatever pleases you on YOUR day.

Person count: <15.

Love count: >infinity.

DON’T JUST LISTEN TO ME. . .

"Sydney Rose is so much more than a photographer. Beginning at our initial consultation she worked hard to connect with me and get in my head to really grasp my vision. She cares about feeling a kinship with her clients, and making sure she’s the right fit for you. During the wedding she was always checking in with me - not just about photography, but also making sure I got drink refills or offering to grab me things from the bridal suite. It was a really comforting feeling knowing she takes such an all encompassing approach to her role at the wedding. She really is your bestie during the wedding!! And, of course, she created a gorgeous and priceless photography portfolio for us. Couldn’t recommend more."

You’ve got questions? I’ve got answers.

Why do you require a non-refundable deposit?
The nonrefundable deposit is for you to know that I will not book anyone over you, and that time slot is 100% yours.

Where should I get prints of the final images?
I have a print shop connected to your gallery link and highly recommend that you go through my shop for your prints. If you go through Walgreens or Walmart, I cannot guarantee the quality and color correction as I can through my printer.

How important is a timeline to my wedding day?
A timeline is one of the most important part of a wedding day, even if it just says what time you’re getting married and when dinner is served. Timelines are great to have so that everyone involved knows what’s happening and where. If you need any help with your timeline, or just someone to bounce ideas off of, let me know! I’d be happy to help!

Do you require us to have a wedding coordinator?
I don’t require you to have a coordinator, but I do highly suggest them! At least having a day-of coordinator allows you to be relaxed and leave all of the set up and any pop up issues to someone else on your biggest day.

Do you charge travel fees?
Travel fees are vital for me if we are planning on heading somewhere out of the 45 mile radius from my home base of Clemson, SC. These fees cover my travel, potential lodging and car rentals.

While I try to keep my travel costs as low as possible, the package price may end up being a bit higher so I can get out to you. Travel fees depend on when and where you are getting married, as prices typically fluctuate based on those factors. These fees are based on the average travel costs at the time of booking. A few examples of things included in travel costs are flights, lodging, rental car, etc. One more variable that is covered by travel fees for weddings that are further away is my time. By this, I mean my time away from home and family. This also represents the time on my schedule that is being reserved for your special day and not for a different wedding that may be more local. Unfortunately, if I did not charge travel fees, it would not be sustainable for me to travel around. I am so grateful that you are interested in having me travel to you, so I hope this clears up any questions you have. As always if you have further questions, I am an open book!
