Pricing That is Fully Inclusive of Your Entire Day
As documentary style photographers, we care about telling the story of your wedding day, wedding weekend even, if you'll have us. We do not want to condense your day to fit neatly into coverage windows.
We offer full day wedding coverage as our base wedding package. With a max of twelve hours (because we have rarely met a wedding day that needs more of that), we are there for every step. For the giggles over breakfast, the pre-ceremony excitement, the never ending dance parties at night.
If the things are running behind? If you want to hang onto a moment a little longer? Soak it in? No need to worry about exceeding coverage windows. We want to be there for all of it.
Our Base Wedding Day Coverage
Our pricing structure was curated to eliminate the questions, eliminate the guess work, eliminate the decision making. Structured with simple ease, we offer one singular price for base wedding coverage. This bottom line price is inclusive of tax, inclusive of travel (because we would love nothing more than to travel where your love is found), inclusive of digital and film photography coverage, inclusive of a second shooter (as needed). We offer each and every one of our clients the same quality of service and the same commitment to handwork and artistry.

- Full day coverage (max of 12 hours) and are curated to your day.

FAQ
03.
How/when will we receive our curated photo gallery?
You will receive a digital gallery link with unlimited downloading allowed and full print rights. The gallery will be delivered 8-10 weeks after your wedding day.
What states/countries are you willing to travel to?
Any! We have documented wedding days and different seasons of life in three different countries and nineteen different states. Take us anywhere.
How many photos do you include in your galleries?
We aim to deliver a minimum of 75-100 images per hour in a gallery. However, as documentary style photographers, we do not turn away a photo that adds to the story of your day.
What if we are talking to/considering other photographers to Photograph our wedding?
Choosing your wedding photographer is a huge decision. Your wedding photos are the only things that will exist that show your wedding day outside of your own memories, which is why we don't take this decision making process lightly. We just ask that you communicate with us and keep us updated on where you are in that decision.
WIll you travel to us in our engagement season?
Absolutely. Our travel schedule operates on a "first-come-first-serve" basis. Meaning, we are willing and able to travel anywhere, if we have the freedom in our schedule to do so.
How would you describe your style?
We aim to stay true to life, with inspiration sourced from film. True to color, true to tone, true to lighting, true to the moment, yet, an added layer of nostalgia from the comfort and connection of film.
Will you dance at our reception?
If you ask us to photograph your wedding, please expect us to bust a move on the dance floor. It's gonna happen.
Do you both go to every wedding/session?
As a husband and wife team, we love doing this job together. However, sometimes we do split up, on wedding days and in shoots. If needed, we fill the role with a second shooter that has our same level of quality and style.
How do you incorporate film photography into the process?
We allow your wedding day to inspire us in our film. We have versatility across 35mm and 120 format film on multiple different film cameras. Each camera has its own personality, and we don't operate the same way at each wedding. We let the feelings on your day guide the mediums we choose to document it.

OWNERS OF DEWITCO. PHOTOGRAPHY
We are Christiaan and Rowan de Wit, husband and wife pair that make up DEWITCO. Originally from the bayous of Louisiana and the Dutch North Sea, we have now found ourselves nestled in a small valley town in the North Carolina Smoky Mountains. In these Appalachian mountains, we have decided to dedicate our time to capturing the moments that we've been graced with and to bringing glory to God with the skills He has gifted us with.
We seek to document those like us, who value and treasure the fleetingness of a moment. To document those who seek to feel breath and life in their photos, to document those who want their memories to feel like art.
We care deeply about your wedding day—
because we've lived it too.
Your wedding day is your own. Every element, every detail, every person, adding to the narrative and story that will become your legacy for generations to come. We share in this experience, this joy, this looking back onto where the legacy began.
DEWITCO. Photography was born out of a desire to document wedding days authentically, honestly, yet in beauty and artistry as well. Riding the balance between art and life, to deliver you more than just documentation of your wedding day. But, instead, to deliver a love letter, woven together with every face, every color, every kiss, of your wedding day.
Hear our heart behind this investment guide.
As you're scrolling through this guide, we'd love for you to hear our voices, see our faces, have the opportunity to connect with us beyond just the way we run our business. But, as a married couple, in love with each other, passionate about documenting that same love that we see in others,
Our Philosophy
05.
Our Approach to Your Wedding Day
Your wedding day is your own.
Every element, every detail, every person, adding to the narrative and story that will become your legacy for generations to come. We do not impose on that, but rather embrace, letting your love, your story, your day reveal unfold, with patience and a watchful eye.
Our Core Beliefs
"nay, let us be simple and plain-"
Above all, we take our deepest inspiration from our Creator, the author of life, beauty, and love. In Him, we have learned our values as artists:
1. Come what may. We cannot control when the sun will rise nor when will it set. We cannot stop the rain from falling, just as much as we can not choose where the sun casts its rays. Yet, we trust that He is in control of all things. During our time together, we are ready to embrace any and all elements, because we know they were divinely chosen.
2. Come as you are. There is beauty to be found in the stories written by the sovereign author. Your story was written just as the stars were numbered and the wildflowers in the mountains bloom. We don’t put expectations on our time together; we aren’t concerned with trends or our portfolio; we are deeply passionate about spending our time creating art from your life, from your love. So, come as you are, come to celebrate that which the Lord has brought together.
our photography style
DOCUMENTARY + EDITORIAL
We have a focus in documentary and editorial style photography. These are both common buzzwords used by wedding photographers today, but what does it mean? With a paired focus in documentary and editorial photography, we are ready to capture moments as they happen and occur, yet we are also fully prepared to give intentional care to moments that render themselves needing care to.
What does this look like on a wedding day? This looks like us being flies on a wall, not seeking to dominate a moment or bring attention to ourselves. Non-intrusively documenting moments as you partake in one of the greatest days of your life. And when it comes time for us to step into a moment, we step in gently and tenderly, so as to again not constrain your day to our desires, but to push you along and re-center you to the most important parts of your day. Above all, we do not operate under our own agenda and shot-list. We do not force your wedding into a box, instead, we allow it to ebb and flow as naturally as possibly. This is how we find it best to capture your wedding day truly as it was.
Our end goal is to deliver you a gallery that helps you step back into your wedding day and relive it from behind our lens. This approach allows us to be flexible, adaptable, and non-intrusive to your wedding day. This approach allows us to document it truly, honestly, and authentically in all beauty and sacred nature.
Life is fleeting and moments pass by so fast, and sadly, your wedding day will be no different. Allow us to step into the fleetingness of it all to allow, so that you can soak it in once it’s all passed. To relive your wedding day one year later, five years later thirty years later. Allow us to work, tenderly and diligently, to deliver a gift that will stand the test of time.
