Why we do what we do

You've looked through our images and you're excited by what you see. Great! The first step is to simply drop us a line and find out if we're available for your date. Make sure we receive your name, e-mail address, phone number and the date of your wedding. We’ll check to see if your date is available and if it is we can send you a copy of the contract and get the boring stuff out of the way so we can start having fun with your wedding photography!

We look forward to hearing from you!

The Meet Up

Once you’ve reserved your wedding date with us we’ll meet up for coffee or lunch. At lunch we’ll get to know each other better. We love to hear your stories about how you met, got engaged and what your hobbies are. We also love to hear about your wedding plans and help you with anything you might need from us. At the meeting we can show you our albums, canvases and other products and help answer any questions you still have about us and our photography.

The Engagement Session

We love engagement sessions, not just because we get to take awesome pictures of you, but also because it gives us time to get to know you and what makes your relationship unique.  It's a no-stress day of shooting that also helps you get comfortable with us, and with our cameras. We love to shoot in places that are important to you as a couple and do thing you enjoy doing together. Engagement sessions usually last a few hours since we like to break for lunch or dinner and take time to just enjoy getting to know each other better.

The Engagement Album

After your engagement session, we'll edit your images and post our favorites on the blog. You'll also have access to all the edited pictures via a private gallery on our website. From there, you can select the ones that you'd like to have used in your album! We've found that lots of couples like to use this as their guest book at the wedding. It allows guests to see your beautiful engagement pictures, and creates a keepsake that includes all of your family and friends. When you've selected the images, we'll design it and send you a proof for your approval. Once you're on board, we'll send it out for printing and get it to you to enjoy!

The Final Plans

Lets face it...sometimes there is a LONG time between the engagement session and the actual wedding.  Staying in touch with you is a must for us!  We love Facebook and we love to hear about how your plans are coming along!  We do our best to stay in the loop with all your planning and all the details.  We have even been known to give some advice on save the date cards, invitations, decorations... even other vendors!  Staying in touch helps us get to know you even better.  A month or so before the wedding we will send you the final checklist and either meet up with you or talk on the phone to go over the final rehearsal dinner and wedding details.

The Rehearsal Dinner

More and more couples are opting to include this dinner with their coverage so that the full wedding experience is present in your photographs. The benefit of being able to look back at this light-hearted, more laid-back and often sentimental evening is priceless. It also gives us an opportunity to meet the key players and get to know them so they are comfortable having fun with us at the wedding too!

The Wedding Day

We are there with you from beginning to end.  Simple as that!  From the first shot of you getting ready at the salon to your race to the get away car at the end of your reception your whole day is a an amazing photographic opportunity, and we plan to be there to capture it all for you!

The Photobooth

The photobooth is a great opportunity to capture all your family and friends’ goofy antics! We’ll set up the photo booth during dinner and bring along an associate photographer to keep it running all night. We can provide you with props, or you can bring your own. A series of four pictures will be taken of each group, which can make a great gift. You'll even get a strip to have as a keepsake! All of the photo booth images will show up in your wedding gallery, so you'll have blackmail on your guests for years to come!

The Final Products

After your whirlwind wedding experience, you'll be looking forward to revisiting the wonderful memories. We'll help by posting a blog of your day on our website. When the full gallery is ready for viewing, you'll have access to the photos in a private online gallery that you can share with family and friends. We'll also send you a personalized DVD with the final images from your engagement and wedding, along with printing rights up to size 8x10”. At this point, you'll begin the process of picking out your favorites for the album (just like with the engagement book). We'll even help you decide which images to order as prints and gallery wraps, so that your walls are filled and your family receives their thank you gifts!

The Memories

Once the album is designed, approved and printed, the only thing left to do is to relax and enjoy it! We love to hear feedback from our couples about how they have displayed their wedding images and albums. We also love to stay in touch with you and hear about (and document!) the next big steps you take in your lives together whether it's a new house, a new job or a new family member...!
A big thanks to Sara and Brian for giving us the behind the scenes look!
