ABOUT FARRAH

I am a wedding and elopement photographer based in Detroit, Michigan obsessed with epic locations (both natural and urban) and romantic love. I’m a city-based wilderness girl inspired by blue lakes and rocky shores just as much as skyscrapers and neon lights.

My favorite daily moments are sweating it out at the gym and chillin with my kitten, Kiki // Most days you can find me exploring Detroit, planning my next adventure, or working with a coffee in hand while 90s hits blasts in the background // I’ve seen Grey’s Anatomy and Gilmore Girls from start to finish multiple times // I frequently jam out Nicki Minaj, Blink 182, Dixie Chicks, and Ariana Grande // My drinks of choice are coffee and Two-hearted Ale // I love bragging about my friends, impromptu dance parties, and reading my daily horoscope //

How do we know you're the right fit?

It’s important for me to work with clients who appreciate a romantic, and organic aesthetic. If you’re inspired by windblown hair, fresh air, and the sexy passion you have for your boo- then I’m your girl! What makes me special, in my opinion, is my ability to help your love shine through naturally in the photos. I love showing who YOU are. It’s not about me, ever. I love helping my clients every single step of the way so that we can get most out of your investment and our time together.

What's your photography background?

I received my BFA from Rochester Institute of Technology with a major in Advertising Photography. I also studied Fine Art Photography and Photojournalism. I started second shooting weddings while simultaneously working in the Fashion Industry back in 2014, and it soon developed into a business of my own.

We're very awkward in front of the camera.

Dude, same. I approach my shoots the same way I would like to be photographed. Rather than force specific poses on you, I will simply offer cues that will allow you to be in the moment, while I capture the emotion that follows. I also play music on a portable speaker during portrait sessions. Lastly, liquid courage is also always welcome.

Do you support LGBTQ marriage?

YES!

How do we book you?

A signed contract and a 50% non-refundable retainer will officially book your date. The remaining 50% is due 90 days before your wedding day (if you book that far in advance!). Please remember that dates are limited and clients are booked on a first come, first serve basis. All prices are quoted in USD.

You can read more about the entire booking process in the next tab, titled "the booking process".

What can we expect in terms of image delivery?

At most, you will get your full gallery 6-8 weeks after your wedding day. I will send a few select images out the week after your wedding. If my schedule allows, I will also put together a blog post on my website. A 10-day rush delivery is available for an extra charge of $300. Every image is edited with attention to detail and consistency, and will be held to high standards, and will be delivered in high-resolution with full printing rights.

Do you travel?

Yes! Travel is included in all quotes.

Can you help us plan?

I know that planning logistics isn't the most exciting aspect of a wedding, but this is the one thing that can make or break your photography! Once you officially book your date and we talk a little more, I will send over a very detailed guide to help you plan your entire day in a way that will allow me to provide you with the BEST experience possible.

1. GET IN TOUCH

I’m so pumped we are already to this stage! It means you have looked at my work and made a connection to it and were able to envision you and your love in my photos. There is no better compliment I could get than a couple trusting me to document their love story. Wedding photography is a lot of things, but most of all it’s an investment in someone to capture and document your wedding day.

2. CONSULT

I will send you a full pricing breakdown and informational guide to help start a conversation about your wedding or elopement plans.

I then like to hop on a FaceTime call with all my clients to learn more about you and your love story. It's also a great time to have any of your questions answered, get to know me a little bit better, learn about the creative process, and discuss investment options.

3. BOOKING

Feel ready to commit to this third wheel relationship? Heck yes! If we both feel like we'd be a great fit for each other, I will send over a contract for you to review via email. I require a non-refundable 50% retainer and a signed contract to officially book your date. Once that is received, I will send over my Wedding Planning Guide. The goal of this guide is to help you plan your wedding or elopement in a way that will allow me to provide you with the BEST experience possible, and is full of great tips and tricks.

4. ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Keeping budget in mind, I include engagement sessions only as an add-on option. However, I truly believe that they are a VITAL part of the entire process if you are having a traditional wedding (as opposed to an elopement). During your engagement session, you’ll have the chance to get to know me, experience how I shoot and how I handle posing and lighting. This session will make a HUGE impact on how the wedding day flows.

5. WEDDING PREP

A couple months before the wedding date, I will reach out to you with a questionnaire to help guide a conversation about your wedding day schedule, and how we can best use our time together to achieve beautiful photos. From there, we can set up a call to make sure we're all on the same page if we feel is necessary. Once you feel comfortable- I'll see you at your wedding!

6. THE BIG DAY

On your wedding day, we will meet at you designated getting ready location. I do all my scouting before coverage begins so there's no need to stress about locations. At the end of the night, I will ask if you'd like to add on any more coverage time or get any last shots in before I head out!

7. THE WEEK AFTER

Within a week of your wedding, I will send you at least 3 sneak peak images for you to share on social media. I know waiting for your wedding images is stressful, so I like to send a few images to tide you over! If my schedule allows, I will also put together a blog post on my website.

8. DELIVERY

This is what you've been waiting for!!! Fully processed high resolution jpeg images are delivered to you electronically in an online gallery made just for you. At the very most, this takes 6-8 weeks. Your photographs will be delivered to you print-ready with full rights.

Farrah photographed my husband and I for an engagement session followed by our wedding. The images couldn't be more true to who we are. She's able to capture the essence of people and make even the most camera-shy/awkward people look laid back and natural. Farrah is somehow everywhere all at once without you ever noticing it. She knows just how to get you to loosen up be yourselves without any of that wedding cheesiness. I'm so so so overjoyed to be able to have Farrah's photos of us and our wedding to cherish forever. Her images speak for themselves, she rocks at her job.

Colleen + Tim

Farrah is truly amazing. She did both our engagement session and our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the pictures! Farrah is able to capture the romance and happiness between two people, and it shows in her work. Every picture Farrah takes is breath taking. We couldn’t be happier with the results. Not only is Farrah professional, she makes it fun. During the engagement session, Farrah played music and had us laughing the whole time. During the wedding, Farrah was fabulous and made sure to get every portrait we requested. (Not to mention she totally was there to calm any pre wedding jitters). Her range of photos is truly impressive, from portraits to candids, but all her pictures are fabulous. She is truly the whole package. When looking back on our wedding day, these pictures are what we cherish. Each image takes us back to that point in time, and the love and happiness shines through. Farrah is also so timely. We got both our galleries so quickly. I highly recommend Farrah for any couple that wants to have the highest quality and most beautiful pictures, and who wants to have a fun and easygoing engagement/ wedding day! Bravo to Farrah and her AMAZING work.

Colleen + Chris

Farrah is the best. We hired her to photograph our wedding this year and we could not have gone with anyone else. She captured the essence of our venue and emotion of the day beautifully. The photographs were stunning from the portraits to the party. To top it off, she is kind, calm and flexible. Exactly the temperament you need on the big day. Thank you, Farrah!

Victoria + Brian

Farrah captured our wedding perfectly! We are so happy with all of our photos and we will cherish them forever. She made us feel so comfortable and special on our big day.
