Photographer Sarah Coulter accepts private-event and wedding inquiries for handmade wet-plate collodion portraits. Each metal plate is individually prepared, exposed and processed; her FAQ describes a deliberately slow portrait experience rather than a high-throughput digital booth.

Current location note / listed area: New York City, New York; private events and travel by inquiry

Allow roughly fifteen to twenty minutes per image and confirm event capacity and setup. Finished plates are not taken home that day: processing and varnishing precede later pickup or shipping. The FAQ also lists an Ohio pop-up, not an Ohio operating base; the current contact page explicitly says New York.
