My process

Once you're all booked and ready, I will begin all the fun stuff! Read this list to see all the ways I'm going to make your experience special to you.

The first step is all about understanding what you envision for your day. Let’s sit down and discuss your dreams, ideas, and priorities. This is where we’ll talk about:
Location: Do you want to exchange vows on a mountaintop, in a serene forest, or somewhere close to home?
Logistics matter: Some locations may require permits or have restrictions, so it's essential to discuss the practicality of your ideal location. I can help you navigate the logistics, ensuring that we’re prepared for any requirements or unexpected changes.
Special Moments: Do you want a first look, an adventure session, or intimate moments captured just between the two of you? Let’s talk about the small details that will make your day uniquely yours.

Once you have a clear idea of your vision, let’s set up a consultation to go over my pricing guide and discuss the best package for your needs.
Review Packages: I’ll explain the different options available and help you choose the one that fits your budget and the time you need for photography. Whether you want a few hours of coverage or a full-day experience, we’ll tailor everything to your elopements unique needs.
Customizing Your Package: If you need additional services like engagement photos, an album, or a second shooter, we’ll go over those options too.
Answer Questions: This is your opportunity to ask any questions about my approach, style, or any concerns you may have. I want to make sure you feel completely comfortable and informed before moving forward.

After you’ve chosen the right package and are ready to move forward, it’s time to sign the contract and officially book!
Contract Signing: I’ll send over a simple contract that outlines the details of our agreement, including the date, time, location, and the services you’ll be receiving. This protects both of us and ensures we’re on the same page.
Deposit Payment: Once the contract is signed, a deposit is required to secure your date. This is typically a percentage of the total cost.
Ongoing Coordination: As we get closer to your day, I’ll continue to support you in the planning process. I can offer advice on locations, timelines, permits, and any special requests. I’m here to make sure you feel fully prepared, so you can focus on enjoying your day without any stress.
Timeline Creation: I’ll help you create a timeline for the day, whether it’s for a simple ceremony or a more elaborate adventure session. We’ll plan out key moments for photos, ensuring everything flows smoothly.

When the day finally arrives, it's time to relax, be present, and enjoy every moment. My job is to document your day in the most authentic and meaningful way possible.
Be Present: Don’t worry about posing or looking “perfect.” I’ll guide you when needed, but my main focus is capturing you two enjoying each other and the day you’ve created.
Relax and Have Fun: Whether you’re exchanging vows, hiking to your ceremony spot, or just soaking in the moment, enjoy the experience as it happens.
Let Me Capture the Moments: From candid laughs to quiet, intimate moments, I’ll be there to photograph the raw emotion and authenticity of your day. Trust that I’ll capture the big moments and the small details that make your ceremony uniquely yours.

After your adventure, I’ll begin the process of editing your photos, carefully selecting the best moments and enhancing them to bring out their full beauty.
Thoughtful Editing: I take time to ensure each photo reflects the emotion and style of your day. I’ll focus on color correction, light, and the overall aesthetic that aligns with the mood we discussed.
Sneak Peek: While I’m working on the full gallery, I’ll send over a few sneak peek images within a few days, so you can begin reliving the magic right away.
Gallery Delivery: Your fully edited gallery will be delivered within an average of two weeks. You’ll receive a private, password-protected online gallery where you can view, download, and share your images. I can also help with creating albums or prints, if desired.
