Photos as untraditional as you!
Heather Gilson, Photographer

I enjoy capturing fun playful weddings with genuine, honest and beautiful photographs. My photography has always been focused on the details of life. It is very rewarding when I know I have captured the essence of a person, or a couple’s love for each other in a magic moment. I enjoy weddings because there is always a lot of magic to capture!

I have twelve years of experience and several published projects including a book featuring over 50 of my black and white photographs. To see more about my book click below:

With this experience I have refined an unobtrusive creative style of shooting. During a wedding I use a combination of cameras to capture the day: digital, medium format, B&W film and sometimes even a Holga plastic toy camera. I carry all the gear with me and grab whatever feels right at the moment. My favorite images tend to be my B&W medium format images. After the images are developed and scanned, all the photos are carefully edited and loaded into an online gallery. Wedding coverage for 6 hours of photography starts at $2,400.00. I have a price list, which explains my pricing in detail that I can provide upon request. Off season discounts are available Nov-April.

I started my career photographing children. With my portrait work I prefer capturing people in natural settings using natural light. I have always loved and enjoyed children so photographing them is the perfect combination with my love for photography. Family portrait prices start at $375.00 for a 2 hour photo session on location.

Oh my goodness, the pictures are AMAZING!
You really got all of the little details, the dress, the hair,
