A NOTE ABOUT THIS GUIDE
Engagement session guide
I am a big fan of engagement sessions for a few reasons. Not only do they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera, they also give you the opportunity to showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you. I've created an entire page dedicated to outfit tips, location ideas, timing considerations and more!

Over the years, we've learned the important role quality vendors play in creating a stress-free wedding day. We've worked with many of the vendors below and we can't recommend them enough! This is not a paid list - we chose these vendors for both the quality of their work as well as their professionalism on the actual wedding day.

About 6 weeks before your wedding date I will send over a Final Questionnaire. This will allow you to fill in all of the correct times, locations, family formal combinations, and any special request photos.
Once you've officially booked your date with me, it's time to plan your engagement session! This is an amazing opportunity to meet and get comfortable in front of the camera.
Check out my Engagement Session Guide to get some ideas on locations, seasons, outfits, etc.
Once your Final Questionnaire is filled out, I will create a Details Document. This will have every detail my team and I will need for your day.
We will schedule a final call to go over the final timeline and all other important details.

We’re big believers that images aren’t meant to solely exist in a digital space. One day, most likely, Instagram will be gone, your phone will be replaced and images that you can physically hold in your hand will be the best way to remember those precious moments we captured.
Think about this fact: twenty years ago, if we had delivered you digital images, they would have been on a floppy disk. With the fast updates to technology, you would have no way to access those images today. Even the online galleries we deliver will eventually fade away.
One of the best ways to make your wedding memories last is by ordering an album. These high quality professionally designed albums come in a variety of linen & leather colors. These aren’t the same albums your parents' wedding photos came in. They’re modern, lay perfectly flat and look incredible on a coffee table.
THE PERFECT WAY TO REMEMBER YOUR WEDDING DAY
