Congratulations, You’re engaged!

Let the wedding planning begin! The story of your wedding day is one that will be shared with generations. It’s part of your family’s legacy. From your engagement session to your bridal portrait to designing and delivering an heirloom album of your day, I handle each stage with care. I’m happy to provide tips on structuring your day, advice on choosing your details, and reminders to enjoy this season of your engagement. If you’re looking for a custom wedding photography experience, you’ve come to the right place! Between meetings, sessions, and our lunch date at Panera, we’ll be getting to know each other pretty well during our time together.

Initial Consultation

First things first. After you’ve reached out to inquire about your wedding, we’ll chat on the phone a bit. I’d love to hear all about your engagement story and wedding day plans. After we’ve gotten a chance to chat on the phone, we’ll set a date where I can meet with you and your fiancé over lunch (Panera, anyone?) If you’re as excited as I am to work together, let’s go ahead and get your date on the books! A signed contract and 25% retainer payment reserves your date on my calendar. Then, we can start planning your engagement session!

Your Engagement Session

The engaged chapter of your relationship is such a special one. While you’re planning for your big day, we’ll take a break from the stress of planning and have some fun with your engagement session. Whether you choose to come dressed to the nines or keep it casual, this will be a time for the two of you to laugh and enjoy one another. I love these sessions so much that I include them with every wedding collection that I offer.

Your Wedding Day

Your big day is finally here! You’ve planned everything out and now you finally get to enjoy the day surrounded by the people who love you. Wedding days always seem to fly by, but I’ll be there to capture the story of your day in a way that you can enjoy for years to come. Armed with the custom timeline we’ve created together, I’ll be ready to flow from getting ready to your ceremony to the huge celebration at the end. It’s such an honor to be entrusted with the story that you’ll be sharing with your grandchildren.

Selection Appointment

The wedding selection appointment tends to be a more emotional one. You’ve probably just gotten back from your honeymoon and now you get to relive your wedding day all over again! During this appointment, you’ll decide how you and your family will remember your big day. Want a custom wedding album to relive the story of your day? I can help you with that. Looking for a traditional, framed portrait of you and your new spouse to gift to your parents, I’ve got you! Just place an order for whatever you’d like and I’ll make sure it arrives ready to gift or display.

it’s delivery day!

By now, you’ve settled into your first home together. You’ve probably posted your wedding gallery on Facebook and have tagged your family and friends, but now you get to see your favorite images on your walls. You get to flip through the story of your day in your wedding album and relive the memories. Then, years from now, you get to relive the memories again, as you share your story with your grandchildren. Here’s to memories that last a lifetime. Cheers!
