The Process

 

 

 

 

What we offer

 

Your wedding is a time to kick back and celebrate your love, and your loved ones while partying your ass off.  We want to be right there celebrating with you and experiencing all the laughter, adventure, tears, nervous sweats, brews chugged, cake smashed, that one friend who really likes to shake it on the dance floor... all of it, right through the viewfinder.

​

With every click of the shutter, a memory is immortalized.

​

I'm down for anything. If you want to bushwack 10 miles to your elopement waterfall, let's go. If you're having a pirate-themed wedding, I'm bringing an outfit and possibly a cutlass. Pop the champagne in my direction, that shot will be wicked. Whether you're dancing with fire or wandering waist-deep in the ocean, I'm ready to be right there alongside you capturing every moment of your adventure.

​

Check availability

​

First things first, let's check availability.

Send us a message or give us a call to begin.

 

Consultation and recommendations

​

Let's make sure we're a perfect fit. 

We love to meet in person, but also do a lot of video and phone chats.

Choose the option that works best for you.

​

A photographer can make or break a wedding.

We want to know about you. We would like it if you knew about us.

​

A wedding is a time to share in the celebration with your closest family and community. 

While we stand no chance of being quite like them,

we absolutely never want to feel like strangers.

​

We also know incredible planners, videographers, additional photographers, venues, make-up artists... you name it. We would be beyond happy to help you find amazing people who are talented and comfortable to work with. Our resources are your resources, whether you book us or not.

​

We're extremely relaxed and hope to communicate as friends.

 

Deposit

​

When you're ready to book, we'll set a 25% deposit on the option of your choosing.

​

Forms

​

When a deposit is completed and the date is set, we'll send out a model release, client service agreement, and most importantly, a wedding questionnaire.

​

We also have until the wedding to do optional shot lists, and share itineraries, and vendor information.

​

Continued contact

​

From the time of booking onward, we can keep in contact. Share some images you love, follow us on social media, or ask us for advice in your planning process. Let's connect.

​

Engagement session

​

An optional engagement gives an opportunity to work together, connect, and adventure.

It is recommended that you bring all of your true character, and if you're camera shy, fret not. 

These sessions are comfortable and fun. Unless we're hiking in the snow, then it might only be fun. 

​

We can get creative. We can do dramatic coastal shots, dress for a funeral and roam your favorite cemetery, howl in the ferns with your dogs, cheers some beers in a dive bar, stand under waterfalls, play D&D in your folk's dungeon, or anything you feel like.

​

We can assist with location and styling.

​

​

The day of

​

On the big day, there is no need to stress. I've shot countless weddings of all kinds and know exactly what to do. All you need to worry about is having the time of your life. I'll be right there to capture every precious moment ( and maybe slurp down a piece of the cake).

​

While most images are intended to be caught as candids, there will be certain moments that will be "posed". Certain group shots, portraits, and details will be controlled, but it's all very quick and easy.

 

As for group shots, it all depends on the cooperation of the group, but I've definitely managed it all. We'll be serious and also get a little wild. Everyone is encouraged to be 100% unapologetically themselves. Names and a shot list make this part fast and stress-free. Well, about as stress-free as possible. We try to complete images with elderly and young children first.

​

We will also have a portion to shoot couple's shots. 

These are the most common portfolio shots, where we break away and focus solely on pictures. This can be as quick or as long as you prefer. We can wander far or stay near. And if you don't feel right posing, well, the point here isn't to control a scene. Just to set one. I'll do my part to make this seamless, natural, comfortable, and simple.

​

For the most part, photography will be unobtrusive, allowing the day to unfold organically while yielding authentic and timeless candids. Those specific details and sentiments, those big personalities, the tears, laughs, gasps, and smiles. 

From beginning to end, I've got you covered.

​

After the wedding

​

After the wedding, we cull and edit ASAP. I'll put some sneak peeks on my website within a week and aim to send out the remainder of the images within two weeks via an online gallery.

​

The online gallery provides both full and web-sized downloads. Images can be shared with anyone you give access to with the use of a link and a four-digit code.

 

We offer print packages, albums, and more, but you are not obligated to print through us.  Once you have your digital images, you can print and/or post them anywhere you'd like.

 

Post-delivery, we hope to stay in touch. We can chat online, watch each other's families grow and perhaps even share a few additional adventures together.
