Congratulations on Your Engagement!
You found your soulmate—now what?
First of all, a huge congratulations on finding your person! I'm beyond honored and delighted that you will consider me to play even a small but important part in your story together!
This season is certainly exciting, but wedding planning can also be stressful and overwhelming. Don't fret, as I’m not just here to do a job as a photographer — I'm also here to act as a resource and advocate, supporting you both individually and as a couple.
I created the following guide to give you an overview of what it’s like to work with me and to share more information about the collections and optional add-ons I offer. If you have any additional questions or concerns after reading through it, please don’t hesitate to reach out via email.
If you love the final photos I deliver but don’t love the experience behind them, then I haven’t done my job! When you look at your wedding photos, I hope you’ll fondly remember the goofy faces I made to make family smile, or the hilarious pose I struck to get that perfect angle for a shot.
I prioritize communication, connection, and clear expectations throughout the process, so you’ll know exactly what to expect each step of the way, freeing you up to focus on the most important moments of your big day instead of the logistics.
A simple, stress-free process from initial inquiry to a grand exit!
The Experience
Step 1: Coffee Chat
Let's find some time to discuss the details. This includes pricing, overall ideas we can come up with together, and to hear what your story is so I can help to tailor this experience to you both.
Step 2: Let’s Make Things Official!
If you see that I am a good fit and you’d like to move forward, I’ll send you a proposal with a contract and invoice to make our partnership official. Once you submit it, your date is secured on my calendar and you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing you just booked your wedding photographer!
Step 3: Preparation
During the weeks and months leading up to your weddings, I’ll act as a personal guide, offering vendor recommendations, tips and tricks, and more. If you choose a collection with an engagement session, we’ll schedule it for a few months before your wedding, and create a detailed shot list for the day of.
Step 4: Engagement Photos!
It’s time to capture this special, fleeting season with beautiful photos! Your engagement session is a great opportunity to get comfortable with me, my camera, and to practice taking pictures as a couple. Plus, you can use the photos for Save the Dates, wedding websites, and more!
Step 5: THE BIG DAY!
The big day has finally arrived. It’s going to be great! I’ll get to your venue early to scout out the layout and lighting. Thanks to all the planning and prep we’ve done, you can simply relax and enjoy the moment while I do my thing!
Step 6: Gallery Delivery
I’ll send you a few sneak peek photos within a few days of your wedding to get you excited, then your full gallery will be delivered 8-12 weeks later. You can download and print them yourself, or I can create an heirloom-quality photo album for you. Pro tip: Plan a date night with your new spouse to look through the photos together and relive the joy of that day all over again!
What To Expect on The Big Day
The more thorough planning we do beforehand, the more you can go on ‘autopilot’ the day of your wedding and simply stay present! I’ve created a sample timeline below to help you visualize the flow of your wedding day as it pertains to photography. We’ll chat about any unique needs/wishes you may have on your consult call, and then we’ll go over your timeline together several weeks before your wedding to make sure we’re on the same page and ready to go.
