The Wedding & Elopement Process

Connection

It’s incredibly important to me that we connect. My couples are quirky, adventurous, and full of life—just like me! I believe that the best photos happen when we truly get each other and share a common vision. If, as you’re reading this, your heart is saying “YES,” then we’re already on the right track. If you still have questions, no worries—we can schedule a connection call to ensure we’re on the same page.

Make it official

Once you’re ready to book, let’s make it official! After choosing your package, I’ll send over an online proposal with a custom contract, invoice, and payment schedule. Once you’ve paid the 25% retainer, your date is officially secured and the fun begins! I’ll be as involved as you want, whether it’s helping you choose the perfect location or giving you tips and tricks along the way.

Adding Value

Engagement sessions are a key part of the experience. Not only is it a chance for us to get to know each other, but it also gives us an opportunity to capture you two in a relaxed, pressure-free environment. If you’ve already had engagement photos done or don’t feel like they’re for you, that’s totally fine! I’ll help you add value in other ways, whether it’s adding an extra hour to your package or doing a “day after” session. This “value hour” is only part of my wedding packages and some elopement packages. Though you can always add these shoots on because  my goal is always to create an easy and amazing experience for you!

Planning

I’m here to help with all aspects of planning your wedding or elopement. I was planning my own wedding before I even got engaged (just a little eager, right?). From helping you choose the perfect venue to recommending incredible vendors, I’ll be there for you every step of the way. If you want even more tips, check out my podcast “When In White”, where I team up with Madison Cate to share all things wedding planning!

Want everything done for you? For my elopements I offer full planning and coordination! As an overly organized human, I absolutely love being part of the planning process. From helping you choose your vendors to taking care of all the logistical details on the day-of (like scheduling florists and luxury picnics), I make sure your elopement is stress-free. If you don’t add full planning and coordination services, I’ll still share all the tips and recommendations you need to feel empowered during your planning.

Happily Ever After

After the big day, I’ll send you an online gallery with hundreds of beautiful images—roughly 60 photos per hour of coverage! You’ll have access to your photos about 4-8 weeks after your wedding (though often sooner!) and be able to share them with family, download them to your computer, or even order prints. I always recommend professional labs for printing your photos to ensure you get the best quality. Grab a bottle of wine and relive the magic!
