Based in Valdosta, we proudly serve couples across Georgia, South Carolina, and the Southeast, offering a luxury, stress-free experience from start to finish. As a Georgia wedding photographer, we are known for our bespoke engagement sessions, a calm and knowledgeable presence, and an industry-leading turnaround time on images—all designed to make your wedding photography experience seamless and unforgettable.
I can't wait to get to know you and hear all about your wedding plans! Fill out in the inquiry form at the bottom of this page so I can check your date's availability and have all your details on file.
Once we've determined that we're a great fit together, it's time to make everything official! I'll send over my wedding photography contract for the package of your choosing, and once this is signed and the retainer is paid (30% of the package total), you'll be in the books!
Now the real fun begins! We will coordinate on the perfect date and location for your engagement session. There will be lots of tips and tricks in your bridal guide, but I'm always here to help you choose outfits that will compliment you best and achieve the bright and airy look that couples love me for. Your engagement session is a great time to get to know each other and work on poses so when your wedding day arrives you'll slip right back into portrait mode with ease!
We'll stay in touch and as your wedding date approaches I'll send you my wedding day questionnaire so I can have all of your most important wedding day details saved. We will create a custom wedding day photography timeline together that you, your coordinator, and my team are confident in. We'll accomplish everything that matters most to you as efficiently as possible, and be sure you have room to breathe throughout the day too!
It's here--the day you've been dreaming of your whole life! You've put so much time, heart, and intentionality into planning every detail, and now it's time to soak up every moment of it and trust your vendors to do what you hired them for! Be present and live deeply in every second. I'll be right there with you every step of the day.
One of the biggest things past clients have raved about is my super fast turnaround time--with me, you'll receive wedding day sneak peeks within 48 hours and the full gallery within just 28 days! Your images won't sit on my hard drive collecting virtual dust while I move on to other projects--I'm too excited for you to see your images for that!! You'll be top priority from the day you inquire until you get that exciting 'ding' in your inbox 4 weeks after the sun has set on your wedding day.
2025 + 2026 investment options begin at $4600
Inquire and I'll send you my investment Guide!
I believe in transparency of pricing out of respect for your time. My beginning wedding photography package includes 8 hours of coverage and much more, with an investment point of $4,600. For a full view of my wedding packages, a la carte options, and pricing, fill out my inquiry form and I will send you my 2025-2026 Investment Guide.
My average engagement session gallery includes a minimum of 100 photos. My average full-day wedding gallery can range from 800-1500 images, and sometimes above that number. The number of photos delivered is dependent on how many events and details characterized the day. Each image that makes it to your final gallery is carefully curated and hand-edited to ensure the highest quality.
I never shoot a wedding day alone! Team work makes the dream work. Your final gallery will be a collaborative effort of myself and my team. My team always includes a competent, kind, and professional second photographer to capture other angles and events taking place throughout the day, freeing me up to direct your portraits and ensure we don't miss a thing. For some weddings I also hire an assistant if I feel one is needed. You can rest assured that anyone on my team has been thoroughly evaluated to increase the value of your experience and align with the values that Elizabeth Godwin Photography is well reputed for.
Members of my team are paid by myself, and this is never an additional expense passed on to my couple.
I can travel up to 2.5 hours from Valdosta without a travel fee, but I'm always excited to travel further! For weddings further 2-5 hours away, I include a travel fee of $350 to cover gas, on-the-road meals, and a hotel room for the night. Travel fees are calculated on a case-by-case basis, but this is always my starting point.
For engagement sessions, I'm also down to drive wherever your love story takes us. If the location is greater than 2.5 hours from Valdosta then I do my best to sync your engagement session date with a time I will already be traveling near your desired location. As a principle, I just don't like charging my couples for travel if at all possible! You'll find I'm very flexible and excited for an adventure.
Absolutely! I'll never leave you wondering what to do with your hands or where to stand. I would venture to say that 95% of my couples tell me they're "not good at taking photos" and "don't know what to do"--I always assure them that they're better than they think! Here's the secret: when couples are at ease and having fun together, this is when the best photos happen. Think of it like a date! I'll offer gentle guidance and help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and you'll discover a hidden talent for modeling that you never knew you had.
The best thing is when I hear a groom say, "that was actually really fun!" after their engagement session or wedding portraits.
Yes, I require 30% of your package's total investment amount upon signing the contract. This reserves your date on my calendar. As for the remaining balance, I am very flexible with when and how my couples choose to cover this. Some prefer to pay in installments, others pay the full balance the week of the wedding.
