The Studio

Quiet photographs. Loud feelings.

North & Main started in 2013 with one camera, a borrowed lens, and a bias that hasn’t changed: the best photograph in the gallery is almost never the posed one. Thirteen years and 340 weddings later, we still shoot like guests who happen to be in the right place every time — present, unobtrusive, and early for the light.

The business side is deliberately boring. Prices are on the website, contracts are in plain English, and if your date is one we can’t serve well — a holiday weekend we’re booked, a style we’re wrong for — we say so and send you two photographers we trust. That honesty is why half our couples come from past couples.

What We Photograph

Six kinds of days worth keeping.

Weddings

Full-day coverage from $3,200 to $6,800, every tier published online: hours, second shooter, engagement session, and album clearly listed. No “inquire for pricing” games.

Family & Newborn Portraits

Unhurried in-home newborn sessions and golden-hour family shoots at the parks you already love. Sessions from $450 with 40+ delivered images — chaos and cheek squishes included.

Headshots & Branding

Studio or on-location headshots for founders, agents, and teams, plus half-day brand libraries for small businesses. Individual sessions $350; team days quoted flat by headcount.

Events

Galas, retirements, b’nai mitzvahs, and company milestones — photographed documentary-style with a 72-hour highlight delivery for your thank-you emails. From $300/hour, two-hour minimum.

Engagement Sessions

Included in most wedding packages or $500 on its own: a relaxed hour at the mountain, beach, or coffee shop where it all started — and the best possible rehearsal for camera-shy couples.

Prints & Albums

Handbound Italian albums from $600, archival prints, and framed enlargements — designed with you in the studio, proofed twice, guaranteed for life. Hard drives fail; albums get handed down.

How Booking Works

From first email to heirloom album.

1
Check the date

Send your date and venue. We answer within one business day with a straight yes or no and the exact package pricing — popular Saturdays book 9 to 12 months out, so earlier is kinder.
2
Meet us once

A 30-minute video call or studio visit. We walk through full galleries — not just highlights — so you see how we shoot a dark reception, a rainy ceremony, an awkward uncle. A signed contract and retainer hold your date.
3
Plan the light

Six weeks out we build the day together: timeline, family photo list, and where the good light will be at your venue, hour by hour. You get a one-page plan your coordinator will love.
4
Receive the story

Sneak peeks in 72 hours, the full edited gallery in 4–6 weeks, and an album design session when you’re ready. Downloads, print rights, and an online gallery for the grandparents included.

Kind Words

Couples remember how calm it felt.

“Somewhere between the vows and dinner, they caught my grandmother quietly wiping her eyes and reaching for my grandfather’s hand. We never saw it happen. The photo we didn’t know existed is the one we printed largest — and the sneak peeks landed before our honeymoon flight did.”

Hannah & Luis O. Ballard · married at Discovery Park

“Our newborn session was scheduled around feedings, not the other way around. No forced props, no frozen smiles — just our messy, perfect first week at home. My mother cried at the album. Twice.”

Priyanka M. Queen Anne · newborn session

“We booked the base package worried about budget, and they never once upsold us. A year later we came back on our own for the album — because the photos deserved better than my phone screen.”

Questions

The answers we’d want before hiring a photographer.

What do wedding packages actually cost?

Three tiers, all published online: $3,200 for six hours with one photographer, $4,800 for nine hours with a second shooter and engagement session, and $6,800 for full-day coverage, two shooters, the engagement session, and a 30-page album. Washington sales tax is shown at checkout, not discovered later.

How far in advance should we book?

Honestly: 9 to 12 months for May–October Saturdays, and summer dates at popular venues can go 14 months out. Fridays, Sundays, and winter dates often book 3–6 months ahead — and winter weddings take $400 off any tier.

How many photos do we get, and when?

Weddings deliver 60–80 edited images per coverage hour — typically 500–700 for a full day. Sneak peeks of 30+ images arrive within 72 hours, guaranteed in the contract; the complete gallery lands in 4–6 weeks, even in peak season.

Do we get the digital files and print rights?

Yes — every package includes high-resolution downloads and a print release for personal use. We keep a backup of your gallery for five years, but we’ll still nag you lovingly to order prints, because hard drives fail and albums don’t.

What happens if you’re sick on our wedding day?

It hasn’t happened in 340 weddings, but the contract answers it anyway: a vetted associate photographer from our standing backup network shoots your day, we edit everything personally, and if we can’t provide coverage at all, you receive a full refund — in writing.

Tell us about your date.

Share the date, venue, and what you’re planning — we’ll reply within one business day with availability and exact pricing. If the date’s already gone, we’ll say so and point you to photographers we trust.
