Salem is home base for Apogee — and it shows. We have photographed more weddings in the Willamette Valley than anywhere else in Oregon. Lead photographer Wes Fisher knows the light at The Reed Ballroom, Cellar 54, Zenith Vineyard, West Hills Vineyard, and Salem Convention Center.

We bring in a second female shooter to help cover the bridal suite, and getting ready photos. Having a second photographer also means that we have more angles to catch more candid photos, detailed shots, and get different angles!

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at 971-283-9454 or team@weareapogee.com  if you cannot find an answer to your questions.

How many photos will we receive?

Every wedding is different, but a good rule of thumb is about 50 to 75 fully edited images per hour of coverage. For an 8-hour wedding, that often means a final gallery in the 400 to 600 image range.

Do you travel outside of Salem, Oregon?

Yes. We regularly photograph weddings throughout Salem, Portland, the Willamette Valley, the Oregon Coast, and other parts of the state. Destination weddings and outdoor private property weddings are something we love doing. If your venue is farther out, travel fees may apply.

When will we get our photos?

We usually send a sneak peek within about a week so you have a few favorites to enjoy and share right away. Your full edited gallery is typically delivered through a private online link within 90 days or less.

Do we get the print rights to our photos?

Yes. Every wedding photography package includes a print release for personal use, so you can download, share, and print your images where you want!

What happens if our photographer gets sick?

That is one of the benefits of booking with an established company. While it is rare, we have trusted backup professionals and a team structure in place so your coverage is protected no matter what.

Can we bundle photography with DJ, video, or a photo booth?

Yes — and that is one of the biggest reasons couples book with Apogee. Bundling services gives you one connected team, better communication, and a smoother wedding day overall.

We are awkward in front of the camera. Can you help?

Absolutely! Most couples are not models and they do not need to be. We keep things relaxed, give simple direction when needed, and help you look natural without making the experience feel forced.

How do we book our date?

Just click the Check Your Date button and head to our reservation page. From there, you can review pricing, choose the best fit, sign your agreement, and pay your retainer to lock in your date.
