Wedding photography should be considered an art.  This is something that we truly believe in.  As a photographer at a wedding we believe that we should be everywhere throughout the day without being seen or even being felt.  We like to have an invisible presence while capturing the moments of your special day.  Yes, wedding photography is an art and this practice is what makes it an art.

 

When you sit down and open up a wedding magazine there are many things that should make you say wow!  The photographs that you see should capture many different aspects of a wedding day.  You should be able to see and feel the different emotions from the family members, be able to imagine the interactions of all of the guests just like you were mingling with them and last but not least the wedding couple should have their most beautiful and memorable moments captured in photographs that will last forever.

 

It is our job to help you and your family remember every detail of your beautiful wedding day.  This day is one of the most special days of your lives together.  It is important that every blissful moment be captured in time.  This is why we are here.It is my pleasure to be a part of your special day and I look forward to being the photographer at your wedding.

 

On your big day we will arrive at your wedding location much earlier and begin scouting the venue to take detail shots prior to the ceremony. As the day progresses we will ensure that we cover all the photographs planned on our timeline beginning from the couple getting dressed all the way to your
final exit and everything in between. In the days following, we will edit photos, blog your session, post some teasers, and also upload your photos to an online gallery so that you can share them with all your family and friends. We will also begin preparing any products you wish to order including albums, prints, wall art etc. It's truly our goal capture your wedding day memories in the best light possible so that you can cherish these moments for a long time to come!

 

Once you choose us we will begin by learning as much about you as possible.  First thing would be to schedule a meeting  at a time  that works for you best. You can come over and visit us at
our studio or we can meet at any suitable your location of choice.  This meeting will allow us to get to know each other and see if we're a good fit. I love to meet my clients beforehand so we can both develop a great relationship before your special wedding day. As soon as we have a date fixed for your wedding day shoot we can begin planning engagement and bridal sessions should you wish to do those. It's such an exciting time in your life and I want to make sure that I am able to learn about your photography needs and desires so that I can deliver the best memories for you to cherish for a lifetime!

 

It is important to have a list of who you want to have photographed at the wedding.  However, I have also seen some lists that are so long and detailed that it is impossible for me to figure out who belongs to who.  On the other hand, I have also seen lists that are very short and sweet. Lists such as this usually only included people who were very important to the bride and groom.  


Here is a sample timeline of a wedding  that will help to give you an idea of what you can expect. 


Bridals 

Many people do not understand what a bridal session is.  This is a photo session that involves only the bride and takes place before the actual wedding day. A bridal session is not something that is required it is completely up to you.  In the past, brides to be have shared with me that they were happy to have had this experience with a bridal session.  They were able to get some practice walking around in the wedding dress and go through the process of getting ready.  Some of these clients have discovered that an adjustment here or there is needed. It may be that the dress needs to be adjusted or even hair, make up or flowers need something changed.  This is a very laid back photo session.  Of course there is time to take photos by yourself when you are in your dress on your wedding day but it is not as relaxed and as leisure as these sessions. If you are interested in a bridal session it is recommended that it be scheduled as soon as possible.  The more advance notice I have the better it is.  


This is a photo session should be scheduled at least six weeks prior to the actual wedding day.  If you would like to display a few of these pictures on the day of the wedding, we will need enough processing time to get these

Engagements 

Being engaged is a very exciting experience and having an engagement session is the perfect way to celebrate this part of your life. Having an engagement session is the perfect type of practice before the wedding day.  As a photographer I want the process to be as seamless as it can be.  Therefore, having this time for me to work with you and having you practice posing together is essential.  It will also give me an idea of what your tastes are as well. During an engagement session you will learn how to trust me.  My relationship with my clients is built on trust.  My clients will learn to see that I understand them and that this understanding will allow for me to make them look fantastic in their photographs.  This is exactly how the business of taking great photos works.

An engagement session is nothing but fun!  Having engagement photos taken is a perfect way to enjoy each other and get away from the stress of planning a wedding.  What is even better is that the photos from this session can be used for save the date cards, guests books, and any other pre wedding items that you may need or want.
