Package Description

Thoughtfully crafted for couples who prefer a streamlined, intentional approach, The Essentials Collection focuses on the moments that matter most. It’s ideal for celebrations that don’t require full-day coverage but still deserve to be documented with care and artistry.


You’ll receive 5 hours of continuous coverage, beautifully curated into a hand-edited gallery delivered within 4–10 weeks. Your images will be presented in an online gallery and print shop, with full personal print and usage rights so you can print, share, and preserve your story with ease.


A refined, minimalist option for couples who appreciate simplicity without sacrificing quality.

What to Expect

From the moment you book, you step into a guided, high-touch experience designed to bring clarity, ease, and intention to every part of your wedding day.


Four Curated Planning Calls

Instead of questionnaires, we connect through four purposeful video calls leading up to your wedding. Each one refines your vision, shapes your timeline, organizes family photos, and finalizes important details—so your day feels calm, natural, and fully supported.


Wedding Day

I arrive 15–30 minutes early to capture the environment and details before guests arrive. Throughout the day, I document everything with quiet intention—clean, honest storytelling that reflects how your day truly felt.


Preview Gallery

Within 72 hours, you’ll receive a curated preview gallery to relive the highlights while your full story is being completed.


Full Gallery Reveal

Your full gallery is delivered within 4–10 weeks, followed by a reveal call to walk through the collection and discuss prints or albums.


Gallery Access

Your gallery remains available for one full year for downloads, sharing, and heirloom print orders.


Highlight Film (if included)

Films are delivered within 15 weeks, crafted with the same care and intention as your photos.


Albums & Wall Art

For custom-designed heirloom albums or wall art, we’ll schedule a dedicated design session to create pieces meant to last generations.

Real Moments, Curated into Stories

Wornden Ly Weddings
Washington DC & Destination Wedding Photographer. Based in MD. Open Worldwide.

Hi I'm Wornden!


Before weddings, I photographed stories for local papers—fast-paced sports, quiet portraits, and everything in between. That’s where I learned to trust my eye, anticipate moments, and let the story lead.


Now, I bring that same instinct to weddings. My style blends calm direction with space to breathe—refined portraits when they matter, and honest moments when they unfold on their own. I’ll step in when needed, step back when it’s right, and always aim to create images that feel personal, not performative.


Based in Maryland and D.C., I work with couples across the U.S. who want photographs that are honest, intentional, and quietly unforgettable.
