answering some important questions
Where to start....
You are probably a little overwhelmed with so many wedding photographers in our area. That is completely understandable! I created this section, just so I can help you answer some questions and tell you how we are here for you through all of the stages of your wedding planning. Let the fun begin!
I am here to help!
As you first reach out to me, we will schedule either a phone call or a meeting. I always want to know how you two met and what you have in mind for your big day. We will review your ideas and I will answer any questions you have.
Once you decide to hire me as your photographer, we will set up your Engagement Session and will also schedule your wedding planning consultations. I am not only your photographer, but will also help you create a timeline, provide you with a shot list, help with other vendors, and will ask you for your Pinterest or Instagram board. I want to ensure that I understand your vision of your upcoming BIG day!
Reserving your date...
As we have faced many challenges this year due to COVID-19, many of the 2020 scheduled brides had to move their dates. With that in mind, please reserve your date as soon as possible. I shoot one wedding per day and therefore my schedule fills up fast. Right now, I am reserving dates to 2022. A deposit is required to reserve your date.
