We have four adult children with successful careers in law enforcement, education, oil industry and culinary arts. We have

several young humans that we are quite fond of as well, and five grand-dogs. We love spending time on our ranch

where we raise registered quarter horses and border collies We also enjoy riding motorcycles, downhill skiing and hunting. Our families are spread out but they are always in our hearts and there is no greater joy than being together.

Wedding FAQ's

The Sundance Girl Experience

"Your dream wedding"

Planning your dream wedding can be overwhelming, but we're here to make it simpler for you. Photography plays a crucial role on your special day, and our goal is to capture moments that will

evoke those heartfelt memories every time you look at them. You deserve not only stunning

images but also an enjoyable experience with our team. Let's make your wedding day

unforgettable together!

The Wedding Process

01. Getting to know you

We believe that weddings should be as unique as the couple getting married and not a "cookie cutter" version. We take pride in giving personal attention to every wedding & every detail that we photograph from start to finish. Every couple needs to feel "special" and receive images that they will cherish for a lifetime!!

Secure your booking with confidence, even if you're uncertain about the ceremony time or dinner schedule. We can work through those details together as we create a timeline. Since our bookings are made well in advance, many of these specifics will naturally come together as your big day approaches.

We look forward to getting to know you over the months leading up to your wedding.

."We had Sundance Girl Photography do our engagement photos, wedding photos & videography. They do quality work at a great price! They took and ran with some of our ideas and also brought some of their own. We did our engagement photos at a coffee shop where my husband and I met & it was so fun having Linda & Phil photograph us as they made it such an enjoyable experience. Definitely was a unique photoshoot! Very happy with the end result of photos from our engagement and wedding as well as our wedding video!!"

Videography

Some video examples. Most are much shorter versions of the actual videos that our couples received but some are the full video. Some have generic music added if the couples chose to not share their vows. Recorded songs were used during their day & we do not own the rights to those songs, they were purchased thru I-tunes.

Videography Questions

Your wedding day is a momentous occasion, and our wedding videography package ensures every cherished memory is beautifully captured. This package includes professional videography and photography services, providing a seamless experience to document your special day. Relive the joy, laughter, and love with a personalized video keepsake that captures every meaningful moment. Choose our wedding videography package to treasure your day forever.

To ensure that we tailor everything to your preferences, we’d love to know:

What type of music resonates with you? (Classical, rock, soft rock, modern, country, contemporary, jazz)
Do you prefer dramatic fade in and out, or more subtle transitions?
Would you like the videographer to capture just the ceremony and reception, or do you want some "getting ready" moments as well?
What critical moments are most important for you to have captured on video?
Will there be anything "extra" special that you want included such as a speech, special gifts or dances?
Would you like bride and groom interviews (individually) prior to the ceremony? It's s super fun idea where we ask how you met, your first date, etc. and then it's incorporated into the video.

We look forward to creating something that you will treasure for a lifetime and allow you to relive the best day of your life over and over again!
