About PeaceMade Photography

PeaceMade Photography

Lead Photographer | Owner

If wit and subtle humor resonate with you, we’re bound to connect. I embrace a light-hearted approach to life, pairing it with an affinity for desserts, board games, and good conversation around film or television. This easygoing spirit translates into each session I share with my clients, fostering an atmosphere where you can be fully at ease. My commitment as a photographer is to document your story with genuine care and thoughtful artistry, capturing you with an eye for authenticity and timeless elegance.

Every detail of your wedding day deserves to be captured with beauty and care, preserving both the seen and unseen moments with timeless artistry. My approach is discreet yet intentional, allowing the natural, unscripted emotions of the day to unfold effortlessly. I work closely with you from start to finish to ensure your vision is honored and every worry set aside. With photojournalistic elegance, each moment will be documented authentically, so all that remains for you is to enjoy an unforgettable celebration from start to finish. Reach out and let's create the unforgettable.

    Highly Recommend

    We had an amazing experience working with Peacemade Photography! Gail did a phenomenal job with both our engagement photos and on our wedding day. The package we chose was incredibly affordable for everything that was included—an engagement session, full wedding day coverage with a second shooter, and a beautiful album we’ll cherish forever. Gail was professional, communicative, and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

    Too much fun!

    Peacemade shot our engagement shoot and our wedding in 2023. We could not have had a better experience with Gail and her team! Looking at their work piqued our interest and our first meeting with Gail locked in our decision. She answered all of our questions, was super responsive with our emails, and made sure we were all on the same page for the actual day of. Her and her team made taking photos and video feel organic and not staged. They were a blast to work with and we’ve recommended them to all of our friends and family. Would definitely book them again for any future shoots or events!

We encourage all couples to reach out as soon as possible about our availability especially if you have a shorter time frame. Typically photographers get booked 6-12 months out.
All our full-day coverage collections include a second photographer.
Definitely. I edit all of my own photographs. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful and are consistent with our style. We also do minimal blemish removals for close-up portraits. We, however, do not include major corrections such as resizing body parts or adding objects that were not in the original image.
The turnaround time varies by your chosen collection. We range anywhere from 6-12 weeks. The longer the session the longer the edit time. After your wedding, you will receive a few sneak peek images to share with your family and social media pages. After all edits are complete you will receive high-resolution image files via our online gallery to share and order prints.
You can expect about 50-75 images per hour of your collection. Estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
We do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
In the very rare event that we are unable to photograph your wedding, I will make sure you’re covered by one of our colleagues or our contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement on our caliber or even better. Now excuse us as we go and knock on all the wood.
