About Tricia
Imagine a big ball of tangled yarn… that is what Uncorked would be if we did not have Tricia.
The creative side of us loves big ideas and pretty things, but as a video production company we need a lot of organization. In addition to editing videos with humor and expertise, Tricia makes all the backend systems run like a dream.
As an experienced wedding photographer, she completely agrees with our mission.
She loves putting chaos into streamlined processes and telling captivating stories using her unique background as a former data scientist (what?!?) and current filmmaker, editor, and post-production foundation founder.
Her Favorite Video & Why:
“There is a real thing called tip anxiety! As someone who has been on the vendor side as well as the customer side, I appreciated this video. It offered guidance on how to show your appreciation for your vendors. I hope this video topic starts a conversation about how much, when, and what to tip wedding vendors (or not).” ~ Tricia

I have been asked this so many times... does the wedding industry inflate prices when they hear it's a wedding?
Here is my honest answer (as a former wedding photographer)... NO. Did I charge more for a wedding than a 50th birthday party or a family portrait session? Yes, absolutely. I charged A LOT more for a wedding.
Was I taking advantage of the emotional sell? Absolutely not.
The main reasons I charged more for a wedding were: the unseen amount of work involved in the 12+ months leading up to the wedding, the skill level needed on the day, the INTENSE pressure to create perfect "portfolio level work" no matter what the reality of the situation- but mostly it is to compensate for the time AFTER the wedding in post production.
Little known fact about wedding photography - the real job is sitting at a computer editing photos. Photographers spend many hours behind the computer carefully selecting and editing photos. They make adjustments, crop, and adjust colors to ensure each image it's best. Don't forget the time it takes for batching, renaming, importing, exporting and uploading the photos and preparing them for delivery.
Do you think this justifies why photographers charge more for weddings than for other types of shoots?
Couldn’t agree more! And on the videography side its an absolute ton of data + editing discipline.
Its a double sided coin- weddings are extremely high pressure but also high reward when we nail it.
Our products (photo video) in particular are the only thing that genuinely will last forever . Having fun and ALSO nailing the product is worth the price of entry and frankly more.
