Wedding Photography Pricing | Boxcar Photography

Weddings are deeply personal, and your photography package should be too. At Boxcar Photography, we believe in creating an experience that feels aligned with your day, your people, and your story — not a cookie-cutter package that overlooks what really matters.

Weddings are unique, so are our packages.

Let us customize a package that suits your wedding the best. Pricing is based on location, number of shooters, albums, engagements, etc.

Pricing starts at
$2,400

Pricing is based on location, number of shooters, hours of coverage, whether you’d like photo, video, or both — and how we can best support your day.

We’re based in La Crosse, WI and Denver, CO, and frequently serve couples in Minneapolis, Nashville, and beyond.

Let’s build a package that reflects your priorities.

What’s Included in Your Investment

Each package includes:

A full gallery of high-resolution, edited images
Our signature color edits + timeless black & whites
Sneak peeks within a few days of your wedding (but if you let us focus on getting them all done, you will get them a lot sooner)
Location scouting (if needed)
A personalized, collaborative experience, we are here for you, every step of the way.
Optional add-ons: second shooters, albums, highlight films, rehearsal coverage, and more

Why Wedding Photography Is Worth It

When the day is over, your photos (and videos) are the only things left that help you truly remember how it felt.

“Ben made us feel so comfortable — our gallery feels like us, not just a photo shoot.” — Amy

“The photos are unreal. Emotional, warm, honest. Exactly what we wanted.” — Taylor

You’re not just paying for a camera. You’re paying for:

Years of experience capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments
The ability to blend in while noticing the little things
A calming presence when the schedule runs late
A storyteller who’s invested in your day as much as you are

Albums That Last

In a digital world, physical albums still matter. Your wedding album becomes part of your legacy — something you’ll show your kids, your friends, your future selves.

We offer:

Press-printed books perfect for everyday memories
Premium heirloom albums built to last generations

Each one is designed with intention — no bulk ordering, no generic templates. Just your story, preserved.

FROM BEN

You don’t need 1,000 images. You need the ones that make you feel.

The moment your partner sees you.
The laugh from your best friend’s toast.
The quiet breath before you say “I do.”

That’s what I capture. That’s what this investment is really about.

Let’s Talk Details

We’ll guide you toward a package that fits your timeline, priorities, and budget. Every wedding is different — and we’re here for it.

Why Wedding Photographers Cost So Much: A Heartfelt Perspective

There’s a magical quality to capturing a wedding day—the laughter, the tears, the subtle glances, and the grand gestures of love. As wedding photographers, our mission is to bottle that magic, preserving it in images that you’ll cherish for a lifetime. But why does this beautiful endeavor come with a hefty price tag? Let me take you behind the lens to share why.

Capturing Authenticity: The True Art of Photography

At Boxcar Photography, we believe in capturing genuine moments. Our goal is not to tell you how to feel but to evoke those feelings naturally through our lens. When you look at our photos, we want you to feel the emotion of the day—the way your partner looked at you, the acts of love expressed, the shared joy of your loved ones. Authenticity is priceless, and achieving it requires skill, patience, and a deep understanding of human connection.

The Time Investment: More Than Just a Day’s Work

A wedding day might seem like a single event, but for us, it’s a journey that starts long before and continues long after the day itself. Here’s a glimpse into our process:

Pre-Wedding Consultation: Understanding your story, your vision, and your unique connection.
Engagement Shoots: Building rapport and capturing your love story in its everyday beauty.
The Big Day: From early preparations to the last dance, we are there to document every moment.
Post-Processing: Hours of careful editing to ensure each image is perfect and true to the day’s essence.

The Equipment: Tools of the Trade

Quality photography requires quality equipment. Our cameras, lenses, lighting, and editing software are all top-of-the-line. This investment ensures that your photos are sharp, vibrant, and beautifully composed. But more than that, it allows us to work seamlessly in any lighting condition and capture every fleeting moment with precision.

The Skill and Experience: Crafting Your Story

Years of experience have honed our ability to anticipate moments, understand lighting, and compose shots that tell your story authentically. It’s not just about clicking a button; it’s about knowing when to click it, how to frame the shot, and how to make you feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera.

The Emotional Investment: We Care Deeply

We pour our hearts into every wedding we capture. Your joy becomes our joy; your tears, our tears. We become part of your day, blending into the background while being present for every critical moment. This emotional investment drives us to deliver photos that not only document your wedding but also resonate with the love and joy you felt.

The Legacy: Creating Timeless Art

When you look at your wedding photos years from now, we want you to relive the emotions, the laughter, and the love. We want these photos to be a testament to your unique story, printed on your walls, shared with loved ones, and cherished for generations. We aim to create timeless art that goes beyond posed images and staged smiles.

In the end, the cost of wedding photography reflects the dedication, skill, and passion that we bring to our craft. It’s about capturing the essence of your day in a way that feels real and true to you. At Boxcar Photography, we strive to ensure that every photo we take is a genuine reflection of your love story, one that you’ll treasure forever. So, when you invest in us, you’re investing in memories, emotions, and a legacy of love.
