I want to start by saying CONGRATULATIONS on your upcoming wedding and I’m honored that you’re considering me to document your special day. Marriage is awesome and I’m thrilled for you and your fiancé as you enter this season of planning and preparing for the special moments of your wedding celebration and the lifetime of moments you will have together.
Your wedding day will be a blur of nerves and excitement and laughter and kisses and cake. No matter how hard you try to take note of every little detail, you won’t remember it all. That’s where I come in. It’s my job as your photographer to make sure the little details and fleeting moments are yours to keep. That way when you look back on this day a year from now or thirty-seven years from now, you’ll be transported back to that look in his eyes or the way the light dazzled through her dress. And you’ll remember why you fell head over heels in the first place.
I can’t wait to talk more with you, but in the mean time, please browse through the “How this works” section to learn about the wedding photography process from beginning to end. Check the “FAQs” section for all the usual questions I receive from inquiring lovebirds, and of course the “Packages” section for descriptions of my most popular wedding photography packages and add-on items.
Please feel free to reach out with any further questions. I can’t wait to hear from you!
the typical wedding photography process
Pick a package. Your first step is to browse through the wedding photography packages below and determine which suits your special day and your budget best. Can create custom package as well.
Sign your contract. Once you select the package that suits your needs, email me directly and I will send you a PDF contract reflecting the terms and conditions of the wedding photography services. Read and sign the contract and send a photo/scan of the signed contract page to me.

Pay the booking fee to secure your date. Once the signed contract is received, I will send you an invoice for the booking fee (50% of the total charge). When this invoice is paid, your wedding date is reserved in my calendar!
Engagement Session! If you choose a package that includes an engagement session (and I hope you do!) we'll schedule it. The engagement session is a great opportunity for me to meet the two of you and for us to get comfy working together. I'll teach you all about posing and help you feel super confident in preparation for your wedding day.
Logistics Meeting. Around 2-6 weeks before your wedding date, we'll have a logistics meeting to talk through names of family members, schedule, and the all-important shot list. This can be in person or over the phone.
Final Payment. The final payment is due 30 days before your wedding day. If you need more time that is fine as long as you communicate with me and it is paid by the wedding day.
Wedding Day. Just relax and enjoy every moment. I'll be the ninja with the camera and the shot list, snapping away.
Sneak Peek. That's right you will receive a mini-gallery of sneak peek photos delivered to your inbox within 24-72 hours after the wedding so you can share your joy with the world (or just enjoy reliving those moments while you're on your honeymoon).
Your complete photo gallery delivered in 2 weeks. I cull, edit, polish, and deliver your beautiful wedding photography gallery to your inbox 2 weeks after your wedding. Remember, I deliver high resolution, unmarked digital files, with unlimited downloads and no hidden fees. So you can do whatever you want with your photos (print, post, share).
