Frequently asked questions and topics

Do we need 10 hours of coverage?

Most likely. I find that most couples are wanting more reception coverage that includes dancing further into the evening. In addition if you would like your final exit covered you will need 10 hours.

Can we add on film?

Yes, please. If you are able to add on film I stronger encourage it.

Does photography coverage really need to start four hours before the ceremony?

Yes. This allows us to have enough time for portraits, and breathing room (overlooked frequently). Magic happens when we have enough time to be present.

What are you thoughts on a first look?

Every couple is different and ultimately it's my goal to allow my couples to have the day that they want. Logistically doing a first look allows for a more stress free day. It also allows for more portraits within a longer stretch of time. If portraits are important to you a first look will benefit you. Something to keep in mind: your cocktail hour is one hour. Realistically this is not enough time for traditional portraits (Bridal party, Family, Bride & groom). Is it doable? Yes, but it's not ideal and it will be rushed.

I highly recommend this option if you are able as most couples highly favor their film photos from the wedding day! Now is the last opportunity to request film to ensure we have film in stock. Film is currently a $500 add on.

How many guests will you be expecting? *

How many bridesmaids will you have? *

How many groomsmen will you have? *

Are you planning on having a first look? *

A first look is an opportunity for the couple to privately see each other before the ceremony. This is the couples choice - and allows us to complete portraits before the ceremony.

Would you like family portraits to be done before the ceremony? *

This is strongly reccomended

What time does your ceremony begin? *

It is recommended that ceremonies start at least 2 hours before the sunset. This allows us enough light for portraits afterwords

What time is the sunset on your wedding day? *

All portraits (bride & groom, family) need to be taken before sunset.

Are their any unconventional or important moments of the ceremony that you would like to fill me in on? *

How long will your ceremony last? *

Are their any family members in particular that are important to be captured? Or family dynamics that I should be aware of? *

Are you planning on having your items for your detail photos set aside? *

I reccomend the following items for detail photos: Rings with matching ring boxes in wedding colors, shoes (cleaned), veil, bridal accessories such as a purse or clutch, jewelry, sentimental family items, perfume, invitation suite, other items that may be included in your decor such as textured fabrics or ribbons.

Ideally; would you like all bride and groom portraits to be done before your cermemony? *

This requires a first look

Will you be having a religious ceremony or ceremony that includes unique cultural elements that I need to be aware of? *

Please include if your ceremony will have any special elements I would need to know about

Do you want a final exit captured? *

If you would like this captured; our coverage time must be scheduled at least 20 minutes AFTER the exit is scheduled. For example, if your sparkler exit is scheduled for 8pm, our coverage time must be scheduled 12:30-8:20. This is to ensure that we do not run past coverage time.

Please include your immediate family photos list *

If you do not have this ready - send it in a separate email. Please allow for 2 minutes minimum per family combination. For example, if you provide a list of 20 combinations we will need a minimum of 40-45 minutes for those photos.

Designated family photo helper *

I ask that you designate someone to help us with family photos (someone who is very familiar with your family and can help organize during family photos
