If you’re planning a wedding in LA, you know there isn’t a short supply of creative talent available for hire. But trying to find creative talent that you can afford, and who isn’t part of the giant LA wedding industry machine? Totally different story. And that’s where APW’s newest sponsor, Evangeline Lane, comes in. A native New Englander, Evangline’s style is airy, romantic, and editorial, but her approach is all APW (and bonus: while she’s in CA, she’s offering a deal to everyone outside of the state, so stay tuned.) In short, I think you’re going to be very excited to work with her.
Evangeline Lane is a dyed in the wool romantic and she’s not afraid to admit it. (Read how she talks about her partner/second shooter and try not to get a little teary.) But Evangeline’s penchant for romance isn’t in a Swarovski Crystal “most important day of your life” kind of way. It’s an authentic appreciation for the hugeness of weddings, which makes Evangeline super passionate about her work, and her photos kind of breathtakingly awesome. Evangeline says:
I have the best job in the world and I’m addicted to it. I am witness to you living in and experiencing the most extraordinary feeling of all and not only do I get to watch it happen, I get to tell your story through my lens, capture the beauty of your tiny moments that, strung together, make up one of the most important days of your entire life. I will travel to destinations across the world, climb mountains, and camp in the woods alongside you to capture the perfect shot. It’s a privilege to watch this chapter in your story unfold before my eyes, before my camera.
And while Evangeline herself might be a hopeless romantic, her photos aren’t of the cliché variety at all. Instead, her style just has an extra dose of heart that you don’t always see in more editorial photography.
In an industry that can often be self-serving, what sticks out to me most about Evangeline’s business is that it’s deeply rooted in giving and gratitude. Evangeline says:
I feel incredibly grateful when I’m asked to document these beautiful and private moments because I know how important my job is. Your photographs become family heirlooms, and it’s a privilege to give you such a gift. I include an engagement session in all of my packages because I think it’s very important to get to know each other before the wedding. Your quirks and curiosities. I want to hear your story, watch you interact, hear you laugh together and finish each other’s sentences.
We have an adventure together, bond, and become friends, so that when I show up on your wedding day, you’ll be at ease and confident, knowing that I’m there to support you and have your back.
Full wedding coverage with Evangeline Lane starts at ,500 (elopements are $2,000). And of course all weddings (excluding elopements) include an engagement session in the base package. But, Evangeline really wants to travel more this year, so she’s offering a crazy awesome destination wedding deal. All weddings outside of the United States are twenty-five percent off, plus for a limited time, you can also get free travel throughout the United States (just make sure to book by the fourth of July). And while Evangeline is normally located in Southern California, she’s offering free travel within the state of California as a special APW-only travel deal that expires… never.
Wedding photographers often fall into two camps: those who are driven by art, and those who are driven by emotion. But Evangeline Lane approaches her work with an appreciation for both. So if you’re looking for a wedding photographer who gets the bigness of the commitment you’re making, but who can translate that into breathtakingly stunning photos, well then it doesn’t get a whole lot better than Evangeline Lane.
