Welcome!
Hey, y'all!
My name is Madeline Moore and I am a photographer based out of East TN. I have been doing photography for a little over three years, and I'm as in love with it as I was on day one. I have always had a fascination with art, DIY's, cinema, etc. and this is a way that I am able to express all of that.
^ this is me, BTW.
If you know me personally, you know how rare it is for me to be on the other side of the camera. I don't love it, but sometimes my business partner - and fiancé - sneaks pictures of me during weddings.
Double chin and all - this is exactly how it makes me feel to be a part of your special moments in life. Not only weddings, but also graduations, engagements, sporting events, anniversary parties, etc. because all moments deserve to be frozen in time.
I think I get this question more than anything, so let's dive into it.
I have been on the side of trying to find a photographer that doesn't cost a ton of money. I have been in situations where money is tight. It's disappointing to not be able to get something because of a financial situation. I have been there. I understand that. I never forget that. That is why my pricing is based on what I could afford comfortably. I would never ask someone to pay for something that I couldn't afford or wouldn't want to do for myself. I think that capturing memories with the people you love most shouldn't be limited by money.
On the other side of things, being a photographer is a lot of work. Camera bodies alone - no lenses - are expensive. Having a good camera body is just part of it. You have to have a car to travel, lenses to photograph different scenarios, SD cards to hold the pictures, a computer/laptop to edit, etc.
The list goes on and on.
It is not an inexpensive career choice, and in some cases I am losing money to do my job - but that's okay. I wouldn't change a thing about anything.
If you have a specific event or shoot that you don't see listed below, message me on Instagram @athousandtimesphoto and we'll chat. Otherwise, these are what my prices are:
Seniors and Graduation shoots: $50
Couples, Maternity, and Family: $60
Any shoots in Knoxville start at $80 and can go up depending on where we are shooting at because of venue fees
Any shoots that are more than an hour away from where I am located will have a $50 or more fee applied to the cost of the shoot.
All of these shoots come with full access to your pictures on this website, free for you to save and share as you please! You can browse the site for them HERE or just shoot me a message and I'll send you your link!
Wedding season is every season, right?
Getting married is a huge deal! So is planning a wedding. I am getting married in December of this year, and everyone joked that we would just take our own wedding pictures since we're both photographers (and the thought definitely crossed our minds...)
Finding the right photographer is a huge deal. This isn't just someone who is doing a job for you. Your wedding photographer should fit your style and your budget. If you're looking for a photographer who can:
Take you away from stressful situations
Help you plan your wedding, if you'd like
Edit pictures the way you would like them to look
Keep the flow of your wedding going smoothly
Provide you with an individualized experience
Treat you like a friend
and so much more...
I'm your girl!
You are always more than welcome to browse my other wedding albums (they are all at the top titled "Mr. & Mrs. ___" and this will give you an idea of things I have done, how your wedding album would look, etc. Each wedding is divided into parts of the day. This makes it easier for the bride and groom to find what they are looking for when they are needing or wanting to find something specific.
My motto for weddings is: it's your day, and I'm living in it.
To chat more about a wedding experience with me, feel free to message me on Instagram @athousandtimesphoto or text me at (865)399-2789. If you text me, just be sure to tell me who you are and why you're texting me, because I may not respond if you don't!
Pricing for weddings goes as follows:
Package 1
$600
This is all day at your wedding, from getting ready to the send-off. This includes access to your album online within 2-3 weeks, with sneak peeks in between.
Package 2
$750
This is all day at your wedding, from getting ready to the send-off + an engagement session. This includes access to your engagement album and wedding album online (2-3 weeks after your wedding date, with sneak peeks in between).
Package 3
$900
This is all day at your wedding, from getting ready to the send-off + 2 engagement sessions. This would be good for someone who has a wedding planned for over a year after their engagement. This could also be used in a situation where one is used for a save the date and the other is used for a session right before you say "I Do", etc. - the options are endless. This includes access to your engagement albums and wedding album online (2-3 weeks after your wedding date, with sneak peeks in between).
Add-ons:
Wedding album
$150
This includes all of your pictures in a book for you to keep and show forever. I think that print is one of the most underrated things, and there's just something special about being able to see your pictures on paper. Also, this album has your pictures printed onto the paper so that they will never tarnish or fade due to touching or light. How awesome is that?
Flash Drive
$50
This would be something beneficial to have so that you could always access your pictures on a computer and show your friends and family. You can always access them on my website, and I have an external hard drive that stores all of my pictures that I've ever taken, but some people like this option so that they have a hard copy to share with family and friends so that they can take the drive and print what they would like, etc. and it comes in a cute, personalized box that you could display or keep away for special occasions.
Travel Fees
$50 or more
Travelling for your special day would be a dream come true for me. I love being in new places and having the opportunity to photograph where I never have. Traveling can be expensive, and because of that I do have a travel fee starting at $50 and going up depending on how far travel is (the $50 or more fee is only applied to weddings that are more than an hour away from where I am located, and this will definitely be explained more in detail).
If you have any questions at all, please message me on Instagram @athousandtimesphoto and we can chat (there's a button below that will take you straight there!)
I can't wait to get to know you!
xoxo
