Does avodah co. document love stories?
By this time, we'll basically be family. Our heart is that we truly get to know you and your story before showing up to document it, because then we get to just focus on the moment and celebrate you!

Wedding/Elopement Day
This is where your wedding/elopement dreams start to fall into place: you book a venue/pick a location, send out save-the-dates, apply for your permits... We'll be there every step of the way to make sure your wedding/elopement experience is the best! And it's loaded with freebies: consultation calls/coffee, a engagement/adventure sessions, questionnaires, guides, follow up/clarity calls, fun mail days, you name it!

TWO
Planning
So you've looked through our website and social media pages; watched the YouTube video on "How does all this work?" (see below); you've read the reviews; now what? Let's hop on a video call and get to know each other! We'll ask you a million questions since we're obsessed with couples's stories; we'll dig into to your dreams of your wedding day, and then chat through different collection options we offer. Once you're ready, we'll get you on the books and start planning your dream day!
ONE
Consultation call + Booking
Let's walk through the process with you! We know it can be daunting trying to find the right team to document your day, so here's the run down on what your experience will look like with us. Or click below for a walk through the process!
HOW...
does this all work?
Watch Video
We know planning your wedding/elopement day takes time, energy, effort, and money (check out our planning guide above for a more in depth resource!) And we also know that picking your date and/or venue comes first, and then booking your photographer/videographer usually comes second! We usually book 1-2 years in advance, so the sooner you reach out the better (especially for weekend wedding days). If you're wanting to elope on a weekday in the next few months, you're in good company because we usually have more availability throughout the week! Avodah Co. is currently booking for 2023-2024!
WHEN...
Avodah Co. is a team of creatives: Iris Elise your photographer, Jordan your videographer, and if you elope with us, we also get to be your florist, baker, and officiant all in one?! We've been serving couples for 5 years and are passionate about celebrating marriages all over the world and documenting love stories. "Work, Worship, Service" is the meaning behind our Hebrew name and is the backbone of all we do!
We support local, national, and global organizations monthly. Your investment in Avodah Co. not only helps us thrive, but also pours into lives in our community and beyond. Check them out here: Soma Downtown (Indy), GirlTrip (Portland), Young Life (Germany) and The Mercy Kids (Nicaragua).
WHO we are...
Meet the Easleys
Passionate + Purposeful.
Is the best time to book your photographer/videographer?
You can view our wedding video portfolio here! We work best as a team and thrive when we get to shoot both photo and video together on wedding/elopement days, however we do offer collections for just photo/just video! When you inquire with us, specify in your form what you're looking for. And, for photo + video booked together, you save a minimum of $500!
We take pride in the product we deliver you, and want the quality of it to bring you to tears (happy tears!), so we send you a preview gallery + a teaser video from your day within a week to hold you off on the full gallery and full length video! Your final product will arrive 8-16 weeks (depending on your collection choice) after your wedding day and it'll be just like Christmas morning – so worth the wait.
We love + celebrate all different kinds of love stories! The couple that usually books us opts for a more intimate experience with 30 people or less in their backyard or choose to elope with just the two of them, but if you love our work and want an incredible photo/video experience on your wedding day – inquire below! We intentionally take on 2 clients a month because we value true connection with our clients. So feel free to reach out and we'll see if we're the best fit for you and your day!
We invest 40+ hours into your wedding/elopement day including calls, planning, shooting, traveling, editing, and delivery. You are paying for our time, our investment (gear, education, experience), a product that'll last a lifetime, and a thoughtfully curated photo + video experience. We also donate monthly to 4 different organizations/ministries! Check those out under "WHO we are!"
