    The love story collection is inclusive of a complementary consultation, one full hour of documentary-style photo coverage of your love at or in the venue of your choosing, and 65+ edited, high resolution images delivered via an online, downloadable album within three weeks (fifteen business days).

  • Collection Overview

    Up to two hours of documentary-style photo coverage of the once in a lifetime moment that you invite your human to spend a lifetime together. This timeless milestone is often overlooked (or captured in DIY format) but regardless of if you plan to propose surrounded by friends or family or intimately while alone with your partner, a professional account of your unique experience will undoubtedly become a heirloom keepsake for years and generations to come.

    Collection Details

    The engagement story collection is inclusive of a complementary consultation, up to two hours of documentary-style photo coverage of your engagement and the intimate and communal moments before and after, and 100+ edited, high resolution images delivered via an online, downloadable album within three weeks (fifteen business days) of your engagement. A courtesy (preview) album inclusive of 15+ edited, high resolution images highlighting the best of the experience will be delivered within 24 hours of your engagement for the purposes of sharing amongst friends, family, and community.

    Choosing an Engagement Location

    Some clients come to Ellie with a strong vision of the details surrounding their engagement while others come seeking guidance and ideas about how to best make a meaningful, unique engagement experience come to life. Support in choosing an appropriate venue is an optional service included in the complementary consultation. Prospective clients are warmly welcomed to ask for support creating a vision or to simply tell Ellie exactly where to go/stand to capture the magic they’ve already set in motion.

    Photographer Discretion

    The surprise element of real time engagement photography is an art form in it of itself. Thankfully, Ellie has gotten really creative over the years and learned exactly how to offer just the right amount of discretion in the moments leading up to the big reveal. Photographer discretion will be discussed thoroughly during the initial consultation to ensure peace of mind leading up to the engagement. Discretion includes being discreet on the big day but also being discreet in how/when the organizing partner is contacted throughout the days and weeks leading up to their engagement. If discretion is at all a concern or hesitation for you in hiring an engagement photographer: look no further. Ellie will go above and beyond to help you pull off the surprise while professionally documenting their response.

a la carte pricing

  • Travel Fee Overview

    Ellie Coburn Photography proudly services San Diego, California. Sessions within 20 miles of 92113 do not incur a travel fee. Sessions that commence 21+ miles from 92113 incur a $2/mile (roundtrip) travel fee.

    Travel Fee Clarification

    Sessions conducted outside of the complimentary radius are still entitled to 20 complementary miles (40 miles roundtrip) so if the session occurred 30 miles outside of 92113 (for instance, Carlsbad which is 60 roundtrip miles from 92113) the client would only be responsible for 20 miles or $40 total in travel fees.

  • If a client has a vision for a collection at more than one venue, we can absolutely make this vision come to life.

    • The first and second venue must be within 15 miles of each other. Upon arrival to the second venue, 30 minutes of active shooting time will commence. The additional 30 minutes does not include travel time. This means that you will get the full amount of allotted time for the collection of your choice (chosen above) at one venue and 30 full minutes of active shooting time at the second venue of your choosing.

    • A single outfit change between venue 1 and venue 2 is complementary. Every outfit change thereafter is $15.

  • Most collections are not inclusive of an outfit change.

  • Ellie Coburn Photography includes a full collection of edited, high resolution digital images from all of her collections with the exception of mini collections. This means that Ellie does not make clients choose a finite number of their favorite images when they purchase a full collection.

    Mini collections, both indoor studio and outdoor lifestyle, are the only exception to this. The number of digital images provided in the final downloadable album for a mini session will be clearly stated at the time of mini collection booking. Clients are, however, invited to select their favorite images from their mini session from a viewing gallery of 75+ images. Clients are warmly invited to choose additional images from their initial viewing album for $10/image.
