One Price. Everything In It.

Collections begin at $6,500 all-in and run to custom weekend coverage from $10,000. All-in means exactly that: second photographer, a dedicated couples session on its own day, an engagement session, Julie's planning support, travel within Western North Carolina, full print rights, sneak peeks within 48 hours, and your complete gallery within one week. The price we quote is the price you pay, before NC sales tax.

October and late-spring Saturdays in the mountains are the most requested wedding dates in Western North Carolina, and we cap how many weddings we take. Peak Saturdays add $1,000 to any collection and typically book 12 to 18 months out. If your date is flexible, a Friday, Sunday, or off-peak Saturday gets you the identical collection at the standard price.

In 2026, experienced Asheville wedding photographers generally run $4,000 to $6,500 for full-day coverage, with newer photographers starting around $2,000 to $3,000 and luxury or multi-day work running $8,500 and up. We price at the premium end on purpose: a second photographer, the couples session, the engagement session, and one-week delivery are included rather than sold back to you as add-ons, and Will has photographed here professionally since 2010, including his years as a Google Creative.

It changes two things. Your full proposal fee credits toward any wedding collection, and you get first pick of dates before we release them. Couples who started with a surprise proposal are the reason we love this job. Tell Julie when you call.

A 50% deposit and signed agreement secure your date, with the balance due on the wedding day. We book first come, first served, and we cap the number of weddings we take each year, so if your date is set, sooner beats later.

Sneak peeks land within 48 hours so you can share the news. Your complete, hand-edited gallery follows within one week, guaranteed in writing. The industry standard is 4 to 8 weeks. Could we go faster? Yes, and a 48-hour full-gallery rush is available as an add-on. We hold the week as our standard because every image is edited individually, and your wedding deserves the time.

Yes. Julie is a trained photographer and works every wedding alongside Will, and larger collections add dedicated second-shooter coverage. Two sets of eyes, two sets of gear, dual card slots in every camera. Built-in backup is not an upgrade here.

Nothing, it is included in every collection. It is a dedicated portrait session on its own day: the day before, the day after, or earlier in your wedding week. Back in your outfits, at your venue if they allow it or a location we help you choose. It removes the portrait time-crunch from the wedding day so we can spend that time on your family and friends.

No. All prices on this page are before tax, and North Carolina sales tax is itemized in your agreement so there are no surprises.

You receive full print rights: print, share, post, and display your images anywhere, forever, at no additional cost. Forge Mountain retains copyright, which is standard across professional photography and simply means we may show select images in our portfolio. You will never pay to use your own photos.

Yes, fully licensed and insured. Venues like the Biltmore Estate and the Omni Grove Park Inn require a Certificate of Insurance from vendors, and Julie sends one directly to any venue that asks.

Travel throughout Western North Carolina is included: Asheville, Hendersonville, Waynesville, Brevard, Black Mountain, and the Blue Ridge Parkway corridor. Beyond roughly 90 minutes from Asheville, travel is quoted separately and upfront.

Then you do not need a wedding collection. Our elopement and intimate ceremony packages are built for exactly that, with the same editing, planning support, and delivery guarantee. Call Julie and she will point you to the right fit, even if it is the smaller one.

Yes. The three collections are starting points. Different hours, added film coverage, rehearsal dinner or welcome party coverage, a multi-day mountain weekend: Julie builds custom collections around real schedules every season. Call 828-243-2755 and tell her what you are planning.
