We’re Willow Photo Co.
Welcome to our guide
10 years ago, we started with two goals in mind: #1: To ensure that everyone getting their photo taken wasn’t treated like another number but rather treated like family. and #2 that the photography process wasn’t “cookie-cutter” because everyone’s wedding day is unique and special. Ten years later those are still two of our most important values and wishes as we connect with couples from around the world.
We’re a small team of photographers & filmmakers who believe that the industry should be different. Planning a wedding is a lot of hard work and can sometimes feel overwhelming and scary. Let’s face it, getting photographed for anything longer than an hour is scary, never mind 6-8 hours! Our team is focused on getting to know every client individually and ensuring that on your day of we’re not just some random people photographing your day, but we feel like friends, just showing up to ensure your day is just as magical as you planned it.
A note about this guide
We put together this guide to help you and your spouse to understand more about what it's like to work with us. After documenting weddings for over 10 years, we've seen it all from timelines to engagements to inclement weather. It's all here and it's all for you to take in.
Thank you again for choosing to work with us and please don't hesitate to let us know if we can offer any additional guidance throughout the wedding planning process!
Our Collections
let’s get things rolling…
The first step with working with us is to inquire! And hey, if you’ve landed here, that means you’re already one step ahead! Now that you’ve inquired, let’s move forward and talk prices & packages. This section can be overwhelming because we offer so much! So before we begin, ask yourself these questions:
Do I want both photo & video for my wedding?
Do I want an album, or any other products afterwards?
If I do want video, do I want every single clip taken in a long-format video?

F.A.Q.
We want to book you, whats next?
The first step in this process is to reserve your date. To do that we require a deposit. Depending on which payment schedule you choose, you can either do 25% of your package price, or a $1500 deposit to secure your date.
do you have payment plans?
We give you the option of one of the following: A monthly plan, with a 25% deposit that will take the cost of the package and divide that by how many more months until your wedding. This option gives you a monthly payment to pay over the course of that time. The second option is a $1500 deposit, and then breaking the remaining amount into 3 sections divided evenly: 6 months, 3 months, and 1 month.
Do I get to choose the music for the video?
You can if you want! We license our music from www.musicbed.com. We usually send you a questionnaire before your wedding asking you what style of video you were hoping for, and what genre of music. From there our editors will find the best songs for the video, but if you'd like to be a part of that process, we won't say no!
What is the typical turnaround time for videos?
Because we have a team, and our editors are amazing, our typical turnaround time is usually around the 3-month mark!
What is RAW footage?
We get this question a lot, so much so we made a video about it (click here to view)
