Wedding Experience
It’s a valid fear. You can’t re-do your wedding day! So, is it
possible to be able to enjoy your wedding day, knowing for
certain that you are going to love your images when all is
said and done? Well, after almost a decade photographing
beautiful weddings for amazing WP Couples, I can tell you
that the answer to that question is “Yes.” You can know for
sure that you’re in good hands... but it requires more than
just booking a vendor. Keep reading to find out what how!
"what if i don't love my photos? i only get one chance at this!"
We polled hundreds of brides, and this was their greatest fear:
Wedding photography is done best when couples have a relationship with their photographer and fully trust them. This is how we have guaranteed and delivered incredible photography experiences to our Wynkoop Photography Couples in the past 10 years! When I arrive on a wedding day, I need to feel like an old friend and not like a stranger. This affects every aspect of how your photos will turn out! Keep reading to get to know me and learn more about who I am beyond the camera.
I believe this is the beginning of something good!

My Why

This truly is the job of my dreams!

I worked as an engineer for 11 years before taking my business full time.
I went to Colorado School of Mines for Chemical and Biochemical Engineering.
Micah is my toddler. Shadow was my first baby.
I’m a toddler boy Mom and dog Mom to a not so golden, goldendoodle. He’s black.

“Mariah was an absolute dream to work with! Her communication was incredible, her skills unmatched, and her joy and organization on wedding day made me feel so at-ease!”
But what you may not realize is that you need a great experience
with your photographer more than anything! That is exactly what
we promise to give you.
Over and over and over again, WP
Couples rave about their experience almost more than their
images! Why? Because in order to get those natural, genuine
portraits that truly capture who you are, you have to feel
comfortable with the person taking them. The way you feel while
you are having your portraits taken heavily influences how you
feel when you see yourself in the final images. We have worked
with over 100 WP Couples over the last 8 years and I can
honestly say it is 100% possible to love how you look in your
images if you feel comfortable while having them taken!
Creating
comfortable, joyful and genuine client experiences is what we
specialize in and we are excited to share more about what the
WP Experience includes!
You Know You Want Great Images...

An experienced second photographer is always included in our packages. Your gallery will contain a WIDE variety of images and not just duplicate shots. We‘ll get both your reaction and his and we strive to capture any tears that fall as well as the deep belly laughs on your most important day.

Up to 10 hours on your wedding day

Mariah was professional, punctual, and honestly it was such a relief to have her expertise. She directed us beautifully, caught all the candids, and the photos turned out better than I could have dreamt. We are so pleased with our gallery, and the timeliness of its return to us!! She also eased my mind as a bride, anytime I was worried or confused. I highly recommend this investment. We will have these photos forever and we couldn’t be happier.

"Mariah shot both our engagement session and our wedding,
and from the moment we met her we knew she would be
invested in our story as a couple. The photos are incredible,
she worked with our vision and our style, captured the day so
well, they bring us so much joy, and I will treasure them for the
rest of my life. We are so thankful to have found her!"

Next Steps:
Your wedding is literally the beginning of your new family unit! Now, try to fast forwardeven further and envision yourself sitting in your future living room with your future fouryear old and he/she is asking questions about when you got married. You look at themand say, “Hold on one minute, ok?” and you grab your heirloom album. As you flipthrough the pages, half of the album in your lap and the other half in theirs.... your childnotices aunts, uncles and grandparents celebrating with you on your wedding day. Ifyour future child is anything like ours, they will be in awe of these old pictures. Heirloomalbums aren’t just for you, they are for those that come after you. What a beautiful gift tohand down to future generations!
Instead of just downloading your images to your hard drive and sharing a link with your family and friends, you Invest in a family heirloom keepsake that tells the story of the day you began your married life together.
Envison this...Your wedding has happened. It was beautiful and everything you dreamed it would be.

“Mariah was great to work with! She captured EVERYTHING we had hoped for on our wedding day. We would recommend her to anyone!
We average 50-75 final images per hour that we’re actively shooting throughout the day. This estimate is normally on the lower side since we tend to be over-shooters. We love delivering our client’s files quickly and easily via an online gallery. Mariah doesn’t like to wait, so she doesn’t like to make you wait either!Full galleries are in your inbox within a month following your wedding! You will have the ability to print, share and download your images as much as you want. We believe in freely sharing our work because that is what we would want if we were in your shoes!
How many images can I expect?
We are more than willing to travel for engagement sessions! We actually love it when our couples ask us to photograph them in a location that means something special to them! We book engagement sessions at least three months in advance and include 60 miles of travel from Tulsa, OK.
Engagement travel?
We love being both interactive and discrete throughout the wedding day. There will be parts of the wedding day when I will need to be in control in order to accomplish everything that needs to be done in order to keep everyone on schedule. There will also be moments when you shouldn’t even know that I’m there. (The ceremony, during dances and toasts, etc.) We teach our couples how to pose and interact during their engagement session so they are naturals on the wedding day and don’t need quite as much instruction from us!
What is your shooting style?
