A wedding weekend often begins well before the wedding day itself. From welcome gatherings and rehearsal dinners to final dress fittings, bridal celebrations, and farewell brunches, these moments give the celebration its fuller shape and feeling.
For couples who want more of this season documented, coverage can extend to the events surrounding the wedding day.
We begin with a conversation to get to know one another and talk through your vision for the day. Together we explore what matters most to you and how photography can support the experience you want to create.
Following our conversation, I create a personalized proposal with collection options thoughtfully designed around your celebration and the way you want it documented.
Once your collection is selected, a signed contract and retainer secure your date. From there we begin planning in collaboration with your planner to ensure everything is thoughtfully supported.
