We can’t wait to capture your special day!

While we have a standard list of images we photograph at every wedding, it is important you tell us what is matters most to you. Think about what you want to see in your wedding album for years to come. It can be completely traditional or a moment unique to you and your love.

To give an idea of how we work—the whole day is broken down into parts, and that is how we will organize your digital galleries. We always use two cameras throughout the day, with several specialized lenses that work for each different need and purpose. Additionally, we always have two redundant memory cards in both cameras at all times and we switch those cards out (stored safely in a water sealed card holder) in between segments of the event day.

Your event day is segmented into the following moments:

Getting Ready/Before Ceremony, Details, Ceremony, After Ceremony, Reception

These are organizational groups, not hard and fast rules. You can expect some overlap between each, but they provide a nice guideline to help you visualize each part of your wedding day and how you would like it photographed.

We have a set idea of the shots we will take during each time of the day but want your input on what portraits you are most interested in capturing on your wedding day. Please remember that no photographic moment can be guaranteed for a host of reasons, but if you communicate that a certain image is important to you, we will do everything within our power to make it happen for you. We take our job very seriously, and don’t want you to miss on single memory!

 Wedding Details

It’s all in the Details.

Wedding Day details include images of the dress, bouquets, boutonnieres, floral arrangements, flat lay displays of wedding rings and invitations, wedding arbors, ceremony decor, reception decor, guestbooks, seating charts, special displays, and so on. These are the still life displays of all your hard work planning your wedding day—we want to capture them for you! We will need at least 30 minutes to photograph details, and an additional 15 minutes for flat lay designs.

Notes:

If you would like a flat lay style image of little details like jewelry, the rings, your invitations, (this can also include something old, new, borrowed or something blue). PLEASE make a little box to put the items in so they can be photographed as soon as the photographer arrives on site. Make sure to bring the entire invitation suite if you have them—invitation, rsvp card, and envelope. There should be one person in charge of the rings, and they will need to be aware that the rings will need to be available to photograph when the photographer arrives.

Please let us know when the reception decor will be set up, and when the florist is expected to arrive with bouquets and boutonnieres. It is much easier and more desirable to capture the reception and ceremony decor before any guests are present. It is also preferable to capture these in natural daylight before the sun goes down.

It is a good idea to have a pretty hanger to hang your dress on. Otherwise we will use a simple grey velvet hanger.
