Sometimes I get emails from people who are having a creative, homegrown wedding I know I would be a perfect fit for, but my price does not fit within their budget. It breaks my heart when this happens. Because I never want to turn down the opportunity to photograph a wedding where I get to really use my creativity, and because I understand that sometimes great wedding photography is not affordable for couples on a tight budget, I have decided I want to provide a package that is designed for creative couples who are having a Backyard/Homegrown/DIY wedding. It is designed for couples who might not be able to afford a full day of wedding photography.

Here's the deal...

This package is for weddings that take place at home, at a friend's home, in a park, on a farm, on a boat, or any other unique location. Destination weddings are included, but travel fees will apply. This is only eligible for weddings with less than 100 guests.

Included is 6 hours of photography by me. I will not have an assistant or second shooter. Additional time, a second photographer, and an engagement session can be added to this package. You will receive a high resolution disc of edited images. The 2013 package price is $2000 and it is non negotiable. Feel free to email me with any questions or if you would like more details nikita@nikitagross.com.

Natash and Hank's DIY farm wedding has been my inspiration for creating this package. It was a true DIY wedding. Their budget was around $5000. Their wedding is still one of my favorites. Family and friends helped with food and decor. It was laid back and full of creativity.

See more of their wedding here on my blog. Or here on Borrowed and Blue where they got a two part feature.
