Pricing & FAQ
We believe your photos are only as good as the experience you had with your photographer while making them.
We’re here to capture you, your people, and the magic of the mountains beautifully and authentically.
Choosing ONCE WEST was
“Hands down the best decision of our wedding life.”
We hate hearing stories about couples that had a bad experience with their wedding photographer and ended up regretting their decision.
Here’s how we’ll care for you and your people on your most important day.
- We’ll capture real moments, never stage fake ones.
- We’ll put you at ease in front of the camera with our relaxed approach. No cheesy or awkward prompts and poses.
- We’ll not only capture the love between the two of you but the many layers of love throughout your community.
- We’ll be organized and efficient with your family photos so that they don’t take hours.
- We’ll learn about and be respectful of family dynamics.
- 20 years of mountain wedding experience allows us to smoothly navigate weather and logistics.
- Our silent shutters mean you’ll quickly forget that photos are being taken.
- One month in advance, we’ll walk thru the day together so that you know exactly what to expect from us, and we know about what’s important to you.
When you see your photos, we want you to feel the way it felt to be there.

“We’re eternally grateful”
Michele was everything we could have asked for and more! We can’t recommend her any more highly. After meeting her for the first time we knew she was the only one who could match our laid-back attitude but desire for incredible wedding pictures. She did not disappoint! To say our wedding pictures are amazing is an understatement – they are INCREDIBLE. The entire experience was enjoyable, and the moments she captured are priceless – and somehow she made it seem like she wasn’t there at all! From first meet to finished project, Michele was fantastic and went above and beyond. Thank you so much Michele, we are eternally grateful.

“They’re more beautiful than I ever could have imagined.”
Michele and her husband took the photos for our wedding in Beaver Creek, CO and they are PERFECT! I had wanted pictures that captured real moments, that were candid and not stiff — I got exactly that, and pictures that are more beautiful than I could have imagined. When I look at them now, it’s like I’m reliving our wonderful day. They were so easy to work with, a pleasure to have around on our wedding day (you didn’t even really notice they were there but they still caught every moment!), reasonably priced, and very responsive. I would recommend them 100%!!

“It was so easy to be ourselves around you.”
“Thank you so much for these amazing photographs and for making the whole photography process so easy! How you manage to take such beautiful photos in the speed that you do baffles me. Taking the family and bridal party photos did not keep us away from the party at all. We have never been happier and the pictures show it. It was so easy to be ourselves around you. Thank you for being a part of it and for providing the photographs that allow us to relive it for the rest of our lives!”
