How to Book:

  • You get engaged and contact me!
  • I check my calendar to see if I’m available on your date.

  • You pick out all the goodies you want in your package and I will email you a contract and client info sheet.

Your Engagement Session:

  • 2-6 months before your wedding, I will contact you to set up a time to shoot your engagement session. This time will vary depending on time of year and use of the images. Example: If you are getting a guest book we will need to leave time to design and order the book for your wedding or if you are planning to use your images for your save-the-date card or invitation (see press printed card blog post).
  • We pick a location, talk about outfits and go out and have a blast shooting some awesome photos!
  • 2-4 weeks after your engagement session: Your proofs are uploaded to your personal gallery for viewing, ordering and sharing with friends/family.

  • 3-5 weeks after your engagement session: Your guest book design will be sent to you for approval or 1 round of changes.
  • Once approved, your guest book will go into production. Please allow 5-6 weeks for guest books to be printed and bound.

Just Prior to The Big Day:

  • 30 Days prior to the wedding date the final balance of your wedding contract is due.
  • 1-2 weeks prior to wedding day I will call you regarding the final timeline and client info sheet. This form will request all the specific information that I need regarding your wedding day (timeline, requests, vendors etc). This will give me an idea of the flow of the day and allow me to contact you with any other questions I may have beforehand. Please fill out to the best of your ability.

  • I document the day in artful ways!
