Let us break it down for you!
HOW IT WORKS
OUR PROCESS
01
inquiry
It all starts by reaching out to us! We’ll get back to you promptly to understand your exact needs and send over a customized proposal.
02
consultation/signing
If you have additional questions we can jump on a call. Lets go over your biggest concerns? How about your biggest inspirations and overall vision? After our consultation, you’ll receive a custom proposal with easy-to-follow booking instructions. A 50% deposit is required to reserve your date on the calendar. Payment plans are available—just ask!
03
ENGAGAMENT/BRIDALS
It’s completely normal to feel anxious before your engagement/bridal session. However, after going through my complete engagement session guide together, I promise you will arrive at your session feeling excited and prepared! While taking your engagement portraits you’ll get to know me and gain confidence in front of the camera. Together, we’ll figure out your most flattering angles and discover what makes you look and feel best in photos. You’ll receive your full gallery 2-6 weeks later!
04
PREPARE for the big day
Preparation is VERY important to us, as it can often make or break your experience on the wedding day. From family list questionnaires to ensuring nobody gets left out of family photos, to coordinating with your planner to make sure the right amount of time is allocated, to our final calls with you a couple of weeks before the wedding, we’re here to make sure the day flows smoothly and that your biggest priorities are captured.
05
DOCUMENT
It’s time to say “I do” and celebrate alongside family and friends! Meanwhile, I’ll manage your timeline, help you stay hydrated, fluff your dress, keep things flowing during family photos, and make sure you look incredible each time you step in front of the camera. At every turn, I’ll be there to photograph the moments you’ve envisioned for years and the happy surprises you never saw coming.
06
DELIVERY
Your wedding went by in a blink and you’re eager to relive every moment! I know how hard it can be to wait for photos, which is why I’ll send you a gallery of sneak peeks 72 hours after the wedding day to enjoy while I edit the rest of your images. 10-12 weeks later you’ll receive a complete gallery of online images you can view, download, and immediately share with friends and family!

When will I receive my photos?
You'll receive 150+ sneak peek photos within 72 hours of your wedding day, so you can relive some of the magic almost immediately. Your full gallery of images will be delivered within 10-12 weeks of the wedding, beautifully edited and ready to enjoy for a lifetime.
What is your style of photography?
We shoot a combination of editorial poses and candid images using film and digital photography. My priority is finding the best possible light so that you look amazing at all times. While the best light is almost always natural, I will use a flash for dark receptions
How will you organize family photos on our wedding day?
Prior to the wedding, I will have you complete a family photo list questionnaire. You will have the opportunity to list every combination you’d like to see along with the names that correspond with each combination. On your wedding day, I’ll use this list to keep things moving efficiently so that family portraits feel like a breeze.
Will we own our photos after the wedding?
Once you sign your contract, you’ll receive rights to all edited images. You're welcome to share your images via social media and print them for personal use only.
What happens if you’re unable to shoot my wedding?
In the event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I will reach out to my network of vetted wedding photographers to find a substitute. Each photographer on my list is someone I have previously worked with who has a style and process similar to mine. I'll still handle all communication and editing.
What does your editing process look like?
Editing includes curation of the best images, color correction, exposure and contrast correction, cropping, lens correction, straightening, and highlight and shadow recovery. Additional fees apply for advanced retouching.
Who will my second shooter be?
Not all packages come with a second photographer. If a second shooter is needed, I will reach out to my network of vetted wedding photographers. Each photographer on my list is someone I have previously worked with who has a style and process similar to mine, ensuring a cohesive wedding gallery.
ARE MY PHOTOS SAFE?
Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, which is why it’s of the utmost importance to hire a photographer who will keep your memories safe during the entire process.Here’s how our triple-backup system works: Your digital photos are uploaded to 3 hard drives after your wedding or portrait shoot and kept in 3 different locations (including a fireproof safe). Finally, the cards we shoot on are never deleted until after your photos have been delivered.
If you're looking for dreamy, romantic fine art imagery, but a well-organized and executed process, you're in luck. Let's schedule a consultation and see if this is the right fit.
