About Aves photobooth

Avery Mortenson

Lead Photographer

Hi, I’m Avery! I’m a wedding and couples photographer who believes the best photos are the ones that feel like you — the quiet moments, the happy tears, the uncontrollable laughs, and all the little in-between moments you might not even realize are happening. My approach is documentary-inspired, intentional, and true to color. I want you to feel comfortable in front of my camera and, more importantly, to actually enjoy your wedding day instead of spending it worrying about photos. I’m here to capture the whole story — not just the perfectly posed moments, but the messy, emotional, joyful, completely you ones too.

I think what sets me apart is how much I care about the little things. I want to capture more than what your wedding looked like — I want to capture what it felt like. The shaky hands, the ugly laughs, the way your partner looks at you when you aren’t paying attention, and all the tiny moments you’ll want to remember years from now. I’ll guide you when you need it while still leaving room for your day to unfold naturally.

    We absolutely loved working with Avery!

    Avery is a phenomenal photographer and wonderful person. We had a small wedding ceremony up north that she shot and captured perfectly, documenting all of the love that showed up for us and between us on our special day. She’s very sweet and fits in seamlessly while also being able to direct everyone well in order to ensure you get the shots you wanted. She is creative and shows up with fun ideas for bonus shots as well. We would recommend Avery as the photographer for any special moment in your life, as we can’t wait for our next one to hire her again!

    Avery was truly such a delight to work with! We loved having her as our photographer. She captured our day and guests so beautifully. She was very flexible with us on our day as we got overwhelmed or plans got adjusted. We could not recommend her enough to other couples because of how genuine and sweet she is!

    Avery went above and beyond to take pictures that show the JOY of our wedding day! She was so accommodating and easy to work with! Many of our guests and family commented on her attention to detail and what a great job she did. Our pictures are absolutely AMAZING & I am so grateful to her for capturing not only the big moments, but all of the little moments and details of our PERFECT day! HIGHLY recommend!💜

    Our experience with Avery was absolutely amazing! Even though it was pouring rain the memories she captured will be treasured forever! Not only are the pictures lovely, but we really enjoyed taking them with her prompts and easy going nature guiding us along the way !!! Thank you Avery!

Yes, in two of my packages second photographers are included to capture every aspect of the day. I have a select team I work with to ensure your day runs smoothly and your images turn out amazing. I highly recommend booking a second photographer package if you want to really capture all the little moments throughout the day.
You will receive sneak peek images 5-7 days after your wedding (sometimes as little as 24-48 hours). After that, your full gallery will be delivered 6 weeks after your wedding date.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
Yes! I hand touch every image to ensure your gallery is as stunning as your day was. Each image is carefully edited to ensure exposure and coloring is consistent.
Yes, all of my packages include 35 mm film photography coverage. Some of the images you see on my portfolio have grain, sun leeks, etc. those are film! Film is a beautiful way to add variety and depth to your gallery. Film photography also has a different coloring then digital photography, so you will see a difference there which adds a touch to your overall gallery feel.
