FAQ
How far in advance should we book?
For wedding planning and photography, we recommend at least 9-12 months prior to your wedding. Our dates book up fast along with limited availability during peak months from May-Sept.
how do we proceed with booking?
After you inquire and we confirm availability, let's hop on a quick call to make sure we make a good fit. After reviewing and accepting the custom proposal, we will lock in your wedding date on our calendar.
Photo, Video and Planning are all handled separately to make sure each one is individually tended to. Nick handles photo contracts/scheduling, Rosie handles planning contracts/vendor check-ins, and Nico handles video contracts/editing.
how long have you been planning, photographing, and filming weddings?
Nick has photographed and filmed weddings since 2013. Rosie has been planning weddings since 2023. We are experts in what we do and can assure your event is in good hands.
Why do couples trust American Portra with their wedding day?
After 13 years of being in the industry, we’ve learned that what couples want most isn’t trendy poses or fads—it’s the freedom to be fully present and trust that their story is being captured honestly. American Portra is for couples who want images that feel elevated but real, perfectly executed planning, and cinematic storytelling. If you want a team that keeps the day calm, makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and delivers a wedding gallery that looks like the best version of you—that’s what we do.
