The Experience and Process

 

From your first inquiry to your wedding day, our process is simple and personal.

Once you reach out through our contact form, we review your date and details. If we are available, we will respond with initial information and schedule a phone call or video call. This conversation allows us to learn more about you, your plans, and what matters most to you. It is also a chance for you to ask questions and make sure we are the right fit.

After the call, we will send a custom proposal. Your wedding date is officially reserved once the contract is signed and the retainer is received. From there, we stay in touch as your day approaches and are always available to help with planning, timelines, and logistics.

Our goal is to make this process easy, clear, and stress-free so you can focus on enjoying your engagement and wedding day.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Who are your ideal clients?

We connect best with clients who value photojournalism and trust their photographers. When couples give us creative freedom and stay present in the moment, we are able to capture honest emotion and meaningful photographs.

 

Will you help us with a wedding day timeline?

Yes. We are happy to help create or review your timeline. If you are working with a day-of coordinator or planner, we collaborate closely with them to ensure the day flows smoothly.

 

When are engagement sessions scheduled?

Engagement sessions are typically scheduled on weekdays, about two hours before sunset for the best light. Weekends are reserved for weddings during peak season, though limited weekend availability may exist during off-season months.

 

Do you have liability insurance?

Yes. We carry full liability insurance and can provide documentation to your venue upon request.

 

When should we book?

Most couples book us eight to twelve months in advance. We do not hold dates. Wedding dates are secured on a first-come basis once the contract is signed and the retainer is paid.

 

Do you travel?

Absolutely! We will travel all over for engagements and weddings.

 

Do you provide digital files?

Yes. All final images are delivered as high-resolution JPEG files via an online gallery. Turnaround time is approximately three to four weeks after your event. Galleries remain active for three months, with the option to extend.
