Finding the right wedding vendors is a huge part of planning your day. These vendors will be the backbone of your day and are truly instrumental in the feel, tone, and smoothness of your wedding day.
And just like YOU want to find the right photographer/videographer for your day, WE want to make sure we are serving the clients who fit in with us.
If you are shopping around and looking for the right FIT for you and your beloved, we would love to chat about our processes, methods, and style so that YOU can see if we would be right for you.
The nitty gritty:
Wild Soul Weddings is a photography and videography company.
La Rae is the owner of Wild Soul Weddings, and is the main photographer and only videographer. She also shoots boudoir photography.
Brittany and Sally are Associate photographers and take on weddings of their own.
Leah and Lexy are second shooters.
Chris, La Rae’s husband, is the video editor.
We book between 25-30 weddings a year and serve Iowa, Idaho, and the entire world. We LOVE traveling + adventure, and would love to go anywhere with you.
We all shoot with Canon and are mainly natural light photographers, but have lighting set ups for indoor photos should it be needed (although, of course, we prefer to shoot outside!).
Who we are:
At our core, all of the shooters with Wild Soul Weddings are hopeless romantics, wild souls, who really really love each other, all of our clients, and of course, photography. Most of us have tattoos + piercings and/or crazy colored hair (of course, we always dress professionally for your wedding!). If you don’t dig that, then we might not be the photographers for you, and that’s ok!
Why we do what we do:
La Rae (Wild Soul Weddings owner) had a TERRIBLE wedding. Everything that could’ve gone wrong, did. She never planned on being a photographer, but she ended up with a camera in her hand. Her crappy wedding day + her love of photography led her to create a brand that focuses heavily on client experience.
We are dedicated to helping you have the wedding day of your DREAMS! We do this by 1) helping you throughout the planning process, 2) helping you have the day of your dreams by helping everyone stick to the timeline, giving you enough time to relax, have fun, and enjoy your wedding day, and 3) providing you with beautiful wedding photos and films.
Our style:
Style is an important part of choosing your wedding photographer/videographer. Our photography is typically a little more dark and moody, we are “film-inspired,” which means that we embrace graininess in our photos, we are a bit (ok, a lot) artsy-fartsy, we love solar flares, we adore shooting outdoors/in nature. We do some posing, but usually prefer “unposing.” We attempt to offer a unique spin to every wedding, so that you can have beautiful, unique pieces of art hanging on your walls.
We are a bit goofy, we love to laugh and have a good time, and usually take a shot with the bridal party after the ceremony 😉 We also won’t make you spend half the day on photos; of course, we want to get amazing photos and videos of your day, but we also want to make sure that you have THE MOST FUN EVER!
So what does this all mean?
If you are looking for someone to take all traditional/posed photos, if you don’t like PDA, if you aren’t comfortable with being yourself, if you don’t like solar flares or artsy photos, if you like someone who uses flash in every situation, then we may not be for you, and that’s ok!
Our promise to our clients:
When you book Wild Soul Weddings as your photographer and/or videographer, you can trust that we will be there to hold your hand throughout your entire wedding experience. We will always get back to you in a timely manner, we will help you plan major events of your day, we will meet with you as much as you need (within reason 😉 ), and we will do everything in our power to help you have the wedding day you’ve always dreamed of.
