This Is Your Day

Your wedding day is about you, not your photographer.

While we set aside times for portraits, we like to blend in as much as possible. You are the hero of this story. For that reason, we work hard to make sure we tell your story, not one we create as photographers. We aim to understand who you are both as individuals and as a couple, so that when you look back at your photos in ten years, you see photos that evoke exactly how you felt on your wedding day.

Timeless and Full of Truth

Showcasing what's unique about you.

Weddings are full of complexity and humor and truth. But most importantly, they are unique to each of our couples. We want to capture what is really important about your day, and what will still be important to you in 10 or 20 years. Your wedding is unique to you, which means it shouldn’t be one of a thousand on Instagram. When you look at your photos, you should see you.

"Will You Tell Me What to Do?"

Yes! We don't expect you to be professional models.

Our goal is to capture authentic interactions between the two of you, prioritizing connection over perfection. During couple’s portraits, you’ll be given prompts to help you relax and have fun together. At other times during the day, we will be letting things happen and you might forget we’re there. We also help you craft a day-of timeline for your day. This timeline helps you know when hair and makeup should be finished, when to put your dress on, and when and where to have family meet up for photos. We also help you list out exactly who you want in group photos, so all we have to do is call out the list during the family portrait time. We want your day to go as smoothly as possible, and being organized leaves room for real moments to play out during a stress-free, relaxed day.

Let's face it. There are moments on your wedding day that you may not even see in person. We've made it our mission to help you freeze time in the most genuine way possible.

We want to catch all the little things during your day, right alongside the big stuff. We are storytellers with an eye for detail and an uncompromising dedication to quality.

We consider our couples and their friends and family the most important "details" to be captured on a wedding day. Well beyond location, venue or anything else, the people we photograph are most important.

We are Wyoming wedding photographers. Our love for this region runs deep. While most of our weddings are here in Wyoming, where we call home, we travel anywhere in the Rocky Mountain region, including Colorado, Montana, Idaho, South Dakota and Utah.

Our couples are typically laid back, tradition-bucking adventurers who are up for just about anything and whose friends are more like family to them. We are proud to be an inclusive business that celebrates life's best moments for all.

Our couples tend to be adventurers who love being outside as much as we do. Much like the people we photograph, the weddings we photograph tend to be unique, unpredictable and full of authenticity.

BOOK YOUR DATE

Our Approach

getting ready

We like to start the day with you getting ready. We will likely arrive about 1-2 hours before the time you are set to put your dress on.

For this part of the day, we try to blend in as much as possible. Aside from moving you into prettier light, we don't do much directing during this portion of the day.

We photograph some hair and makeup, along with the bridal zip up and finishing touches for the groom, but our favorite images tend to be ones of you and your best friends hanging out and relaxing.

FIRST LOOK?

Whether or not you decide to see one another before you walk down the aisle is entirely up to you. There are pros and cons to each approach, but your timeline will be based upon whether or not you have one scheduled. If you decide to do one, we will likely do bridal party photos and family photos before your ceremony. Each day is different, however, so all of this will depend on the time of your ceremony and available light.

02

Bridal Party photos

We move through these really quickly since there are two of us. We start with photos of the whole group and then move onto photos of bride + bridesmaids and groom + groomsmen, then photos of each of you with each member of your bridal party. It takes 20 minutes tops, but usually less.

03

Family Photos

Family photos usually take no more than 30 minutes. We typically photograph immediate family on each side, but we like to ask about any special requests you have for group photos to make sure we don't miss anything or anyone you want photographed.

04

CEREMONY

We are completely hands off when it comes time for the ceremony. We make sure we are each set up in the best possible locations for all moments, but we try not to be noticed by your guests. This is your moment, and I don't want to distract from anything that is happening. Having two of us ensures we get the best angles and all the tiny moments as they unfold in the most discreet way possible.

Meet Janelle

Janelle Rose Cheyenne Photographer

Janelle

I am a wedding photographer because I thrive on real moments. I want you to look back on your photos and see glimpses of why you found each other in the first place. Clients describe my photos as genuine, heartfelt and joyful. I want the record of your day to highlight your story, not anyone else’s, including my own.

I grew up in Wyoming. I am most at home in the mountains, and I love wide open spaces and blue skies. Trail running, paddle boarding, and sunshine make me especially happy. I live in Cheyenne with my husband, two daughters, and two dogs. I'm obsessed with Brandi Carlile, coffee, running and live music.

I’d love to sit down and get to know you better, and I’d be honored to create timeless photos that capture your wedding day in all its joy, laughter, tears and chaos.

I believe strongly in celebrating and affirming all love, capturing people regardless of gender identity, sexual preference, race, age, ability, body size or religion.
