The Booking Process

step one


Give me all the deets


You reach out to me here on my inquiry page and tell me all about your upcoming wedding!

I will respond to your inquiry within 2 business days with details regarding my availability for your date and send you my wedding guide so you can see exactly what services I offer. Take your time to look it over & think it over! I will also include my calendar link so you can pick a convenient time to schedule your 30-minute complimentary consultation with me. (This is completely optional!)



I will reach out to you a few days later to confirm the next steps!

STEP TWO


consultation


This consultation helps put faces to names and lets us get a feel for one another as we chat about your photo needs and vision for your special day! In this consultation, we get to know one another a bit more. We will discuss photo packages or á la carte options that suit you best. I like to make sure we are a good fit for each other in terms of style and vision, so we can create the most beautiful images possible. I also want you to feel I am a good fit for you. When we are both comfortable, the images are MAGIC.



If after the consult, you or I choose to move in a different direction, I would be happy to provide recommendations of other talented photographers whose style is similar to mine! No hurt feelings - only best wishes.

STEP THREE


PROPOSAL + DEPOSIT


Okay, we’re really doing this thing!

So you’ve taken the time to decide what photo coverage you’d like and have decided to book me as your wedding photographer! *Happy dance!*



I will then send you a proposal - this proposal includes which photo collection or session you have chosen, a contract, and an invoice for a 35% non-refundable deposit. If it all looks good to you, you will then sign the contract, and pay your deposit. Signing this proposal and paying the booking fee officially books me & holds your date!

STEP FOUR


SCHEDULING + THE INTERIM


In the months between making your deposit and your big day, we'll exchange a few emails here and there as I check in and see how wedding planning is going and if I can answer any questions you may have. If you’ve booked me for any portrait sessions (engagement, bridal, etc.), we will schedule & shoot those!

2 months before your wedding, I will send you a detailed questionnaire regarding your wedding day so I can get more of a feel for what it will be like & get down to the nitty-gritty logistics.


About 1 month out from your wedding, I will request a preliminary timeline of your day. No pressure though--this can be just a "bare bones" schedule! We will work together in the following weeks to make a timeline that keeps both the lighting and the time needed for optimal photo coverage in mind.

STEP FIVE


GET YOU MARRIED +
TAKE ALLL THE PHOTOS


*insert all the happy tears, laughter, & dancing!*

STEP SIX


DELIVER YOUR MEMORIES


In the 6 weeks following your wedding, I will be meticulously editing and perfecting your photos, one by one. When they're ready, I will send them to you on a personalized, shareable, beautiful online gallery with print-ordering capabilities. You can star your favorite images, download them, order prints, or share the entire gallery with anyone and everyone you know. Then, you and they can re-live the best day of your lives forever.



Enjoy!
