Once I receive your initial wedding inquiry via email, I will reply back with a PDF guide that has all the information you need on the experience, collections, pricing etc. At that time, I’ll also ask you a few questions about your wedding plans and your love story! From there, we’ll plan a video-call or a coffee date to get to know one another better and ensure we are a perfect fit! I wholeheartedly believe the best, most genuine images of you guys are a direct result from working with a photographer that you share a bond with!

If you’ll be getting an engagement album (woooo!) then I’ll be in touch about a week after your engagement images are delivered with info for choosing which photos you want in the album! Once I have that list, I’ll get going on a custom design for you and send that to you for your approval! Once all this is done, the lovely album is ordered and you’ll have it in your hands soon after! An important note is that this album checks something else off your to-do list — your wedding day guest book! This album is designed with a paper type which can be written on, meaning it can double as both a keepsake, and your guest book on your big day!

Around the 4-month out mark, I’ll be in touch with you to chat about your day-of wedding details!

This is a huge help to mapping out each section of your day and ensuring that you, your wedding party, your families and even your other vendors are all on the same page. If you choose to hire a wedding planner/coordinator (great choice to do so!!) — they too will create a timeline for you, though theirs isn’t only about photography and generally covers your entire day start to finish. I will absolutely work with your planner/coordinator to ensure that my photography timeline and their master timeline align well — resulting in a stress-free day for you and your love!! You guys get to just enjoy every moment instead of worrying about all these little details, leave that up to us pros!
