Master Associate Pricing

Refined artistry. Timeless storytelling. Genuine connection.

The Master Associate experience is for couples who want something a little deeper — a little more guided — yet still honest and emotionally alive.

These artists have spent years documenting love stories across the Midwest and beyond. They bring intuition, direction, and calm presence — the kind that lets you breathe, be yourself, and still know every detail is covered beautifully.

Who We Are

Our Master Associates are the seasoned storytellers of the Boxcar Collective — photographers and filmmakers who’ve spent years refining their craft under Ben’s creative direction.

They understand how to read a room, anticipate emotion, and capture moments that feel cinematic without being staged. Every Master Associate embodies the Boxcar philosophy: art that feels human.

This is where craft meets emotion. The Master Associate collections are designed for couples who want refined storytelling with tangible keepsakes that live beyond the screen.

You’ll receive thoughtful direction, editorial touches, and an artist who’s fully invested in capturing your story with care.

The Experience

Why Choose a Master Associate

You want someone who’s present but unobtrusive — who captures every laugh and tear without ever pulling you out of the moment.

That’s what our Master Associates do best. They’re experts at blending emotional storytelling with elevated craft — so you end up with images and films that feel effortless, timeless, and completely you.

Testimonials

“Our Master Associate felt like a friend we’d known for years — calm, creative, and intentional. The album they designed still makes me cry every time I open it.”

SOUNDS GOOD TO US, HOW DO WE BOOK?

I want to know what sparked this whole thing! Someone usually pursued the other and I want those juicy details – almost everyone has an amazing story to tell! Even if you don’t find it unique yourself, knowing how the two of you connected and fell in love will add so much perspective to capturing your big day. From there, I will set up the contract, invoice and planning documents. I am excited to meet you if I have not done so already. Let’s make this happen!

A Humble Bow

First off, thank you for considering having me at your wedding. It’s an honor just to be in this position.

I truly value the relationships I’ve built over the years with past clients who’ve become friends. I’d love to meet you and your significant other whenever you have a chance, so we can get to know each other a bit before your special day.

Again, thank you!
