FAQ

  • We offer both photo and video packages. Whether you're interested in just photos, just video, or both, we can accommodate all your needs. All of our packages include the two of us as shooters at no extra cost to you. We believe this provides the maximum coverage, ensuring no moment is missed and offering a beautiful mix of perspectives.

    Also included in every photo package are a couple of rolls of complimentary film photos. We do this because shooting weddings on film is our favorite way to capture the day. If you'd like additional film photos, we charge only for the cost of the film and development.

  • We typically take a more "hands-off" documentary approach. On a typical wedding day, this means we are more laid-back when it comes to posing you for photos. Instead, we opt for “light posing” to acheive a nice mix of semi-posed and candid photos. We love nothing more than letting you enjoy your day as it’s meant to be, without forcing any "staged" moments that aren’t naturally happening. We believe this approach gives your gallery a more genuine, emotionally-driven feel.

    With every wedding day, we do of course shoot all of the normal posed photos: wedding party, family, couples session, and details.

    Our photography careers have always been rooted in the fashion world. So, if what you want from your wedding day is a fashion shoot, we are certainly happy to deliver that. At the end of the day, your wedding is all about you and what you envision. We’re more than happy to shoot outside of our usual "style" to bring your vision to life.

    We usually discuss this during your complimentary consultation call.

  • It depends! We are Arkansas + Colorado based, but we are no strangers to traveling. If your wedding will be in Northwest Arkansas or Colorado, we do not charge for travel. If you are outside that, please let us know your location details. We are always up for traveling, and have many places on our bucket list that we may not charge for.

  • Yes! We offer a bundle discount to any couple who choose to book us for both photo and video. Feel free to inquire about our discount when filling out our contact form.

  • We know the wait can be a little long winded, so within a few days we like to send a little sneak peek of a handful of images. Typically you can expect within 4-6 weeks after the wedding for the final full gallery and video. Sometimes it maybe sooner, but it’s important to us to not to rush through the editing process as you will receive better quality images.

Laid Back, with an Editorial Flair

Kalia and Joe have such an easy presence about themselves that makes your experience so calm and peaceful. Not everyone loves being in front of the camera, but they made the whole process from engagement photos to wedding photos just perfect! Harper’s Creative captured our intimate wedding in every way that I could have imagined and did so, perfectly.
