Your wedding day isn’t just a celebration, it’s an investment. You’ve done all the work from start to finish curating your perfect vision; hand-selecting each and every detail to commemorate the history and uniqueness of your love. My job as a photographer is to tell that story — YOUR story.
Just like the details you’ve chosen to include in your special day that reflect both of your styles and personalities, I believe your photographer should be the same!
Talking about money can get awkward, I get that, but just like learning to swim, you start off on the shallow end to test the waters before diving in. (Unless your older cousins find humor in picking you up and chucking you into the deep end… yeah you know who you are.)
It’s important to have:
an idea of what kind of coverage you want
a general price range you’re willing to work with
I love what I do and I wish I could work with every couple that inquires. Unfortunately, I have big-girl bills and a little pup to spoil.
Your special day wasn’t created by a cookie cutter. Each and every package is curated to fit the vision and desires of each couple. After your inquiry, we’ll set up a video call to meet, talk about all of the details, answer any questions you might have, get a general idea of what your perfect photography coverage calls for and most importantly to make sure we’re the right photographer and couple fit.
Why a video call?
Finding the right photographer is a big investment and not an easy task. I’m a firm believer that your photographer should be the perfect fit. A video call gives us the opportunity to make sure we get acquainted and truly hit it off!
After all the general details have been refined and ironed out, all that’s left to do is cross your t’s and dot your i’s. Once all the boring paperwork is signed and your retainer fee has been received, all that’s left to do is wait for the big day!
You did it!
You found your photographer!
Once we’re all booked up, I’ll send over an in depth form that goes over all the nitty gritty details of your wedding day. I recommend filling out this form at least 2 - 3 months before the actual date. This form can be filled out by you or your wedding planner. The planning of your big day can be stressful and my goal is to cover all aspects and logistics of photography for your wedding day ahead of time to ease your worries the day of. All the details in this form are what I’ll use to create your photography timeline.
Getting Acquainted With Your Venue
Didn’t I tell you you’re in great hands? Whether I’ve shot at your venue before or not, I always leave wiggle room in advance within the timeline to scout and explore your venue making sure I know the in’s and out’s of the best spots with the best lighting.
Capturing Your Day
Your love story. Your Day. Your photos. I’ll document your celebration true-to-feel, making sure you get to relive your wedding for how it was. A mix of documentary and modern with a sprinkle of traditional, my style focuses on being a fly on the wall catching the beauty of undisturbed precious moments engulfed in intimacy and emotions, capturing lots of fun candids, and of course light posing and directing for designated portraits.
