The Process

INQUIRE & SECURE YOUR DATE

ENGAGEMENT SESSION

FINAL MEETING

WEDDING DAY

DAY AFTER YOUR WEDDING

First step:  Fill out the inquiry form and begin the conversation. Let's chat about your event basics, your vision, and any questions you might have.  

 

Once you are ready to reserve your date, I will send you a contract to review and sign. Based on the package you choose, please plan on a 20% deposit.  Once the contract and deposit has been received, you are all set so CHEERS LOVES!

If you book a wedding with four or more hours of coverage, your engagement session is complimentary!  It is an INVESTMENT for you to spend time and work with your photographer prior to the big day. So many couples have never had photos done together so it can be a little awkward or uncomfortable no matter how long you have been together.  We get the "where do I put my hands" and "you want me to do what?" out of the way while building a friendship. Trust me, you will both feel more relaxed with a familiar face behind the camera on your wedding day.  

 

Engagements photos are also great to use for wedding announcements, invitations, websites, social media posts & groups, bridal shower decor, & of course wedding decor!  

 

You can pick a date for your session & location while signing your contract or anytime before your wedding. Even my out-of-town couples will schedule their sessions a day or two before their weddings because it is, after all, VEGAS!

One of the most important part about the pre-wedding process is communication!  It is extremely important to have a plan in place with your photographer.  Even if you have one with your planner or coordinator, there are situations that you will want to consider from a photography stand point; especially when it comes to natural light & portraits. 

 

Although I'm happy to answer any questions you might have while you map out your wedding, I like to book the final meeting a week prior to your date. This way your guest list is pretty set and the timeline and locations have been finalized.  We will discuss family dynamics, bridal party expectations, inspiration & important shot lists, plus all the other details and go over any requests you have.

It's your big day!  We've made a plan together so it is time to trust and live in the moment.  I got you!

You are excited, I'm excited!  Your sneak peeks will be sent directly to your phone within 24-48 hours of your wedding.  

Let the posting begin!

POST WEDDING 

You will receive your gallery of originals & sneak peeks within 1 week from your wedding. You will then have 30 days to choose your favorite images for me to edit.  Once you've finalized your selection, your final images will be uploaded to your gallery 4-6 weeks for packages 1-4 hours of coverage or 8-10 weeks for 5+ hours of coverage.
