OUR PROCESS FROM
START TO FINISH

inquire

If you are interested in working with us, fill out an inquiry on our website to get in touch. We will get back to you within 48 hours with our pricing guide and an eager heart to get to know you!  

coffee chat

After reading through the pricing guide, the next step is to book our consultation (over the phone or in person) to discuss your needs, get to know each other, and chat about which package is right for you!

make things official

If we are a good fit and you’d like to move forward, we’ll send you a proposal with a contract and invoice to make our partnership official (EEK!). Once you sign the contract and pay our $1500 retainer, your date is secured on our calendar and you can breathe a sign of relief knowing you just found your dream wedding photographer. 

get prepped

During the weeks and months leading up to your wedding, we’ll act as your personal guide, offering vendor recommendations, proven tips and tricks, and more. Since all packages include an engagement session, we’ll schedule it for a few months before your wedding and create a detailed shot list for the day of. We’ll work together to narrow down your style, create mood boards, send inspo back and forth, and keep in touch on IG (or your preferred form of communication)!

engagement session

It’s time to capture this special, fleeting season with beautiful photos! Your engagement session is a great opportunity to get comfortable with us and our camera and practice taking pictures together. Plus, you can use the photos for your Save the Dates, wedding website, and more! 

do the dang thing

Your big day has finally arrived!! We’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 day while we do what we’re best at!   

GALLERY DELIVERY

Within 24 hours we will send over your preview gallery of 10-20 edited images (just to hold you over). Your full gallery will be delivered 3 weeks later!! You can download and print your photos yourself, or we can create an heirloom-quality photo album for you. But wait, there’s more—you’ll be receiving a beautiful glass box with a USB drive of all your wedding photos, and prints of some of our favorite shots! Pro-tip: plan a date night with your new spouse to look through the photos together and relive the joy of your day all over again!
