These are the perfect opportunity for us get to know one another before the big day. This session won't be stiff, boring, or full of the posey-smile shots. Nope! Engagements are meant to be fun, adventurous, special, and obviously - amaaaazing! And while it may feel awkward at first, but I welcome all the affection, kisses and touching! I'll guide you for sure, but anything you feel - DO IT!
Ladies! This is the time to tell that man of yours to get ready to love all up on you and be prepared to show me the love! I know most guys do not care for photos, but rest assured, I'll get some pretty great shots of him being natural and real. And I bet some money, he's going to say it wasn't that bad when we're done. I'm that confident *wink wink*.

Many people over my entire career, have told me more times than I can count, that they wish they did their research and went with a photographer they really loved, instead of letting their friend's aunt's brother's sister, take their wedding photos. (It happens a lottt). They always tell me they'll forever regret skimping out because of the money, and not hiring a professional. Because what they got back, IF anything at all, were disappointing photos of a day they'll never get to relive again. This is the ONE day, that you WANT to remember. The one day that your photos are going to let you relive over and over. These photos will retell your story.
An experienced photographer knows how to capture those special moments. Whether it's one hour that you've hired them, or 7 hours. They KNOW how important these photos will be for the rest of your life. If you don't plan on having a videographer, your photographer is probably the most important vendor for your wedding. I don't say that only because I'm a photographer. I say it because it's true. With that, I tell you, truly consider your photographer. Look at a lot of their work and reviews and don't hire someone solely based on their total fee. Because many times, what you pay, is what you get. And p.s. remember that reviews are GOLDEN and speak VOLUMES. Let those be your guide!

The Luxe
STEP ONE: RETAINER
Once you've discovered we're kinda awesome and you want to work with us, the FIRST thing you want to do is get your retainer in and contract signed! This will secure your date and since we book out a year to two years out, you want to do this asap! We can meet over coffee or even margaritas (I dig chiltons *wink wink) to get this taken care of and secured. If you booked a full Wedding Collection, you'll also be receiving a Wedding Welcome Packet full of helpful info for the big day, as well as a preferred vendor list to help you get things going.
STEP TWO: ENGAGEMENTS
Once you're booked, we'll schedule out a time for Engagements
and/or other sessions included in your collection, usually 6 -8
months out from the wedding date. These can be as
fancy or as casual as you want them to be, or even both! They will
also give us a chance to work together prior to wedding day so I
always encourage them. If you're booking your wedding on the fly
and don't need engagements, it'll take off $150 from your wedding collection total.
*NOTE: The $150 Off is ONLY if you're needing a last minute photographer and your wedding is no
more than a few weeks away.
STEP THREE: REQUIRED INFO
After booking with your retainer and contract signed, I'll send you a
wedding packet filled with some useful info as well as required docs!
These are to help both of us know exactly what is happening at what
time and just helps to make everything run smoother! I'll discuss these
in detail with you though.
STEP FOUR: WEDDING DAY
YOUR SPECIAL DAY IS HERE! I'll arrive the specified location at
the agreed upon time. I'll be all over the place capturing all the
special moments and we'll make amazing memories of your special
day. My biggest tips for my couples is to LOVE and touch on each
other and just enjoy YOUR day! I'll do the rest. ...with my camera,
I mean *wink*.
STEP FIVE: AFTER THE WEDDING
After your wedding, we know you're going to be dying for at least a few photos and we aim to please. We'll for sure do our best to post a few sneak peeks as soon as we get a chance, so stay tuned on our socials, but please don't kill us if we don't get a chance right away. Note: If your collection includes previews, they will come!
Just a reminder on turnaround time: You'll get your full gallery per your collection that you book! Collection 2 and Collection 3 get your images back to you sooner!
Once your gallery is done, we'll be sending you your photos in a package along with a usb flash drive inside. Sometimes we meet up with clients for this or we can mail it your way too. As long as we have your correct address, we're golden.
STEP SIX: REFERRAL PROGRAM
Word of mouth is HUGE in this industry..and REVIEWS are
powerful! Getting tagged is also golden in our book! We'll love you forever. Oh! And because you worked with us, anyone you refer our way that books a full wedding collection, takes off $100! If it's a regular session, they'll be able to take off $50.
As a HUGE thank you for choosing us above all others, your
first future general session will be 50% OFF. The ONLY kicker is these photos have to include you.
Details are so important when you're planning your wedding. The small things that matter in the grand scheme of things. Things like the perfume you'll be spritzing on yourself right before you walk down the isle. Things like the earrings that belonged to your great-grandmother. Things like a beautiful table setting, or the hanger holding your gown. If you're smart, you can be cost efficient and still find great looking things to make for great detail shots! Might just have to do a little digging.
P.S. I get flowers can be pricey, but one extra tip: for the bouquet, even if only - make them REAL.
Like I mentioned above, darlin'...you might have natural beauty and like it that way, but your engagement photos and your wedding day are NOT the days to showcase it. A professional MUA can make you feel so beautiful without looking like you have a ton on. Think airy, tan lips, not heavy eyeshadow. If you need makeup inspo to share with an MUA, I can help with that too! Or just choose from my preferred MUA's that I'll share with you if you book with me!
I'm going to be real with you. We are photographers, not magicians. If there is no light for our lenses and flashes to reflect off of, then we're not going to be able to take good photos. The sun is our best friend when it comes to wedding photography, that natural warm glow - there's nothing that compares. But if there's no sun, or at least, good lighting in
These are just a few examples of the useful tips and suggestions I'll be giving to you, should you book with me. My goal is to not only create beautiful photos for you, but to help you make it the most special day of your life that you can.
your venue, then you're not going to get the best of photos. When I help you with your timeline, we'll talk about the best times for everything, including the ceremony. Just another bonus you'll get if you hire me. We'll for sure snag you both away for golden hour photos too, though!
Not only have I been doing photography for nearly 12 years full-time now, but I've done so many weddings, I know all of the ins and outs. I've seen the pretty, the ugly, the bridezilla moments - ALL OF IT so I like to help any way that I can. In more ways than one.
I'll be the one fluffing your dress, probably pinning the boutonnieres, to guiding mothers of the bride and groom to cut the cake or serve the plates. I've even helped out the DJ a couple times to make sure the day goes amazing! Yes, I'm that type of photog!
I don't only do this for the money. I truly do love what I do and I hope you see and feel my passion for it. That's why you should hire me. See for yourself and let's be friends!
Maybe you end up going a different route with a photographer. But before you go, take a look at these other services that I offer. Years of experience definitely make me a candidate for all things weddings!
