Step one is pretty much already completed, you’re HERE! You LOVE and connect with the imagery you see and next is to find out if we are a match on a wedding date, personality & financial level. Let’s have a quick phone call, meet-up or however you feel comfortable- this can quickly settle any concerns and expedite the information/booking process. When we first talk, Together we will make a custom wedding day timeline for you to help with choosing how many wedding day hours are needed!

Last STEP

PHOTO DELIVERY TIME

Relive your wedding day and try not to tear up.

Just a short while after you have returned from your honeymoon, you will receive an online gallery full of hundreds of photos to be able to share with your friends and family. You will be able to save them, print them and enjoy them for life! We will also discuss the optional album journey to preserve your images in printed custom books.

Weddings

After photographing more than 150 weddings over the past few years, we’ve really come to value the unexpected, intimate moments that take place on a wedding day.

The hug your mom gives you before you leave your dressing room. The tear that falls down his cheek when he sees you walking down the aisle. The way the two of you lean your heads together during the toasts.

This day is about more than the flowers and the shoes you chose. It’s about celebrating the start of a new family. It’s an honor to play a part in such a significant day and I hope you’ll choose us to be a part of yours!
