WEDDINGS

 

Your wedding day is one of the biggest, most important and most intimate days of your life. Finding the right photographer to spend the day with you and capture the surreal, intimate, quick, once in a lifetime moments in a way that resonates with you and your spouse is so important.
Not every photographer is for every bride and groom and that is why I start all of my wedding inquiries with a complimentary wedding session meeting so I can get to know you two better, you can get to know me, I can learn how I will be able to best serve you and you can see what a typical wedding day looks like with me.

During Your Wedding Session Meeting We Will:


Talk about you two so I can get to know you as a couple (I am a sucker for how you met stories), talk about wedding plans and how things are going so I know how I can serve you best. We will also go over what a typical wedding day looks like with me (I have visuals) so you can decide if I am the right photographer to serve you on your big day. By the end of your meeting all of your questions should be answered and if not we have plenty of time for you to ask me anything that wasn't covered. You can plan for your meeting to be 1 hour long.

There is no charge for this meeting and no strings attached.

Here are Some Valuable Add-on's that I Offer in addition to everything your wedding Session comes with:

Desiree Burgess


Wedding & portrait photographer


Hi, I am Desiree. I am so happy you are here! I am so passionate about what I do but it is so important for you to connect with your photographer on a personal level so allow me to introduce myself outside of my photography career.

Growing in faith

I did not grow up with Jesus in my life and have spent the past year and a half starting and growing my relationship with Jesus. I bring everyone I can to church with me on Sundays (mom, dad, son, and fiance). I am enjoying learning so much and having my family be a part of this journey.

Mom

I have an amazing son who is 7 years old! I started homeschooling him just at the end of his kindergarten year and he just started 2nd grade in public school this year. We love spending our time trying new things,  spending time with family and growing and nurturing our family tractions.

Family

I have a family of 3 (5 including our cats). My amazing fiance and son fill my days with so much love and joy. Both of my parents and my brother's family live in Helena! I am so blessed to have such a strong support system right here with me. I have one sibling (older brother) a sister-in-law, 3 nephews and 1 niece. Outside of my immediate family I have a large extended family on each side from both of my parents. Any chance that I get to spend time with family I take and cherish.

Me

When I am not growing in faith, being mom, spending time with family and all of the things, I enjoy being bored. I like to to take things slow and forget about to do lists. Because I am so organized and busy everywhere else in my life, when I have free time, I like to change the pace and do the opposite. It is not uncommon to see me in my pajamas all day on my days off. I enjoy challenging myself to grow in all aspects of my life and focusing on mental health.

Kind words

Absolutely loved working with Desiree! She has such a wonderful vision and takes unbelievably stunning photos. She was so easy to work with, provided great feedback and is quickly responded to any questions or comments I had. My wedding could not have gone as smoothly if not for her! I would happily recommend to anyone searching for a photographer. :)

If you’re looking for someone who has the passion, talent and heart to put into your special day, you will never find better. It is because of Desiree, that we will forever be able to look back at our day with such incredibly beautiful memories. Desiree, Tony & I cannot thank you enough and I hope that people reading this take my advice and reach out to you so that they can feel as special as you made us feel.

Katie

Desiree was so great to work with! Her communication was top notch, she made an effort to find exactly what we were looking for in our session, and above all she was so kind and patient with our kids! We would definitely recommend her and definitely use her again in the future.

Sadie

Desiree has been absolutely amazing to work with!  I originally booked her for a maternity shoot but sweet Sidney decided to come before we could make that happen.  Thankfully Desiree has been able to capture SO many precious moments since then!  She is makes photos comfortable, natural, and always so much fun!  I have and will continue to recommend her!  You will LOVE your photo sessions and photos.

Desiree is excellent! I had a friend give us the best compliment on Shannen’s seniors pictures - she said that she saw ALL of Shannen’s personality reflected in the pictures. What more could you ask for!?

Heidi

We had a lovely experience with Desiree this spring! She was so accommodating and helpful. The photos are gorgeous and exactly what we were hoping for.
