-
I get asked 'Are you available to meet for a consultation prior to the wedding?' and the answer is absolutely!
It's very important for the wedding couple to meet with the photographer prior to booking to ensure my style of photography and personality are exactly what you are looking for. This also gives you an option to tailor your package to exactly what types of prints or coverage you need. You can also share your ideas for photographs and discuss locations and timing.
Consultations can be in your home, on location or in my studio with no obligation.
What goes in to photographing a wedding?
1. First we start with either a phone or email consultation to go over availability, package options and details when you first inquire.
2. Then we book your sit down consultation which generally takes 45 minutes to flip through samples, package options, ask questions to start to build a bond that will make photographing you easier on the wedding day. During this consultation we customize your package and gather details to help us deliver the photos you want.
3. Engagement session. done somewhere meaningful or just pretty, we spend around an hour capturing fun and creative images. After the session, within 7 days I have posted the link to your images to view and discuss which images you loved and which angles you didn't, so we can perfect your photography for the wedding day.
4. Delivery of your engagement images.
