GSquared Weddings Photography
Overview
Hey! We’re Kate (she/her) and Josh (he/him) — a married wedding photography duo who show up with coffee in hand, backup snacks in the bag, and cameras ready to chase the kind of magic you’ll still be talking about 30 years from now.
Based in the Pacific Northwest (and always down to travel), we’ve been documenting weddings for over 14 years — focused not on perfection, but on presence.
We’re here for the real stuff: the awesome dance moves, the wild laughter, the soft hand squeezes, the inside jokes, the stolen glances, the last deep breath before you say I do.
Your love isn’t staged — and your photos shouldn’t be either.

What to expect
STEP 1
Contact Us
The first step in telling your wedding story is to contact us. You can email or fill out our contact form. Emailing to confirm our availability is best because our schedule fills so quickly. We are generally booked 6-24 months in advance. Once we confirm our availability on your date, we'll schedule a call or Zoom. During that call, we’ll talk about your wedding vision and photographic needs; Locations, times and details. We want you to feel comfortable working with us and that initial phone call is the most important part of the process. Still not sure? Don’t take our word for it – read what some of our clients say about us here!
STEP 2
Reserving Your Wedding Date
The GSquared Team specializes in Weddings for couples who wander off the beaten path. We work in Washington State, Florida, Oregon, California, Colorado, Nebraska, Hawaii, Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Idaho and Montana and beyond. Our first step in reserving your wedding date is scheduling an in-person, over the phone or even Zoom consultation. There is no charge for this meeting, and it’s a necessary step in ensuring you’re choosing the best photographer for your day. During this consultation, we’ll talk about the ideas for your day, go over coverage options, and mostly chat about your love story (and how the question was popped). If you decide to book your coverage with us, a nominal retainer will be due to secure your date.
STEP 3
Planning Your Investment … and what comes next.
Most of our clients can plan on spending between $6000 and $9000 on their wedding coverage. Some spend less, and some spend more depending on their needs. We offer a flexible pricing structure with a monthly payment plan so that you can get everything you want. We talk about your plans, and talk through our contract.
Once the consult is over, we’ll send you any additional information we discussed, and if you decide to book, we’ll send over a digital contract for you to sign and invoice to pay. Once you’re signed and paid, you’re officially on the books.
If you’ve chosen an engagement session add-on, we will start planning your location and timing.
STEP 4
Your Wedding Day (and other important things, too!)
A few weeks before your wedding, we will send you a HUGE email with checklists, special requests and a questionnaire. This is the most important email we will send you. All of this is also available in your planning portal.
As a part of our coverage, we’ll help you create your timelines, give you tips on vendors, and help prepare you for the things to come on your wedding day. The day of your wedding, we’ll show up just before our scheduled start time, and start working. One thing to note: we don’t photograph during your reception dinner, we know no one wants photos of them eating!
STEP 5
Image Delivery
Sneak peeks go online (unless requested otherwise) within 24-72 hours of your wedding or engagement session.
8-12 weeks after your wedding, you’ll receive your digital download link. From there, you’ll order professional prints if you choose, or the images for your album (if that’s in your package), or order them on your own from your digital files.
Professional prints and print collections may take up to 10 weeks to be delivered after your order is placed (longer during busy season), due to print lab schedules. All orders are shipped directly to you.
About
The belly laughs, the bad dancing, the “oh damn, this is real” feels.
Real life. Real love. Real stories.
We don’t just photograph your wedding – we protect your experience (and your heart) – so you can live your story fully.
We’re slightly awkward, really nerdy, and your behind-the-scenes besties with cameras and a backup plan.
What do you get when you mix Type A with Type B and more than a little ADHD thrown in (plus coffee & dad jokes)? GSquared.
We’re more than just photographers. We’re your hype squad, family wrangling, vibe protectors, calm in the chaos, drink fillers, and your built in personal assistant and day-of bestie whose only goal is to make sure you get to be present, real and living every single moment.
We’re Kate (she/her) and Josh (he/him). Married humans, emotional chaos wranglers, coffee worshippers, timeline nerds, Marvel fanatics, and occasional ugly criers at weddings. (Okay, maybe more than occasional. Look, vows get us. Every damn time.)
Kate has been photographing since 1997 and Josh picked up the camera in 2011. We’ve done over 600 weddings together, including wedding coordination (sometimes we even get to do both at the same time!)
600+ weddings → “That’s 600 families who trusted us to be invisible magic and backup problem-solvers.”
14 years → “We’ve seen it all — and we know how to handle anything without making it your problem.”
Coordination → “We don’t just photograph your day — we keep it flowing, calm, and meaningful.”
