For Those Working With a Wedding Planner:
If you're working with a wedding planner, we'll start by getting you set up with the questionnaire. Your planner will be guiding you through the wedding planning process & the details I mention below.

The Planning Process
Here's The Entire Process
From start to finish - Here's how we'll create your very own wedding day. Trust me, it's going to be really easy & fun.
Right After Booking
I'll you set up in your very own planning portal where you'll get started on your 'Getting To Know You' Questionnaire.
This allows me to hear your specific needs, wants, & vision so that we can start to create a wedding day and visuals that are just for you.
Our First Planning Call
Based on your responses in the questionnaire, I'll start to do research & build a customized presentation - answering any questions or resolving any items you had initially mentioned.
In addition - We'll talk through those details and really start to give you inspiration & options to make decisions on what you want your day to look and feel like - making it your very own.
Check In's & Final Plans
Via your planning portal - we'll start to check off the next steps over the upcoming months: Finding & booking your vendors, accommodations, etc. In addition - finalizing specific locations, happenings, ceremony details, and your loose day-of timeline.
We'll do our best to have this all finalized by the time we're 3-months out! However - if you reached out about a date within that time frame, don't worry one bit. We'll still get it all done with ease!
Your Wedding Day!
With your day & experience fully planned out, all you have to do is enjoy being in the moment.
We'll put you in a position to go into your day with clarity, confidence and fully ready to live in every moment & not think about anything else.
After Your Wedding Day:
Preview Photographs & Teaser Film
For Photography Collections - I'll have a preview gallery to you within 72-hours.
For Film Collections - You'll have the option to add-on a 1-2 minute teaser, delivered in 30-days.
Final Photo Delivery
In most cases - you can expect your full gallery to be delivered within 10-15 weeks after your date. Dates can vary depending on the film lab's return.
Final Film Delivery
You can expect all of your film deliverables to be completed within 4-6 months of your date. I can deliver them all at once - or as I finish them up!
