WEDDING PLANNING GUIDE
TIPS & HELPFUL INFORMATION
We are SO excited to be documenting your day and celebrating alongside you!
We've created this guide for you to help navigate your wedding planning and provide information on how to ensure your photos are the best possible. While you are not required to follow our advice, we highly recommend reviewing this guide as it contains important information that will affect your photos.
We do suggest hiring a wedding planner or at the very least, a day of coordinator to help with the finer details!
While we try to do everything we can to make the process as simple as possible, there is some information that weāll need from you! Youāll have received a questionnaire from us upon booking, please have these filled out no later than 30 days prior to your wedding. This is very important as it's the information that we need to be able to photograph your wedding to the best of our ability. These include:
Wedding Day Questionnaire | Formal Shot List | Vendor List | Timeline
PRE-WEDDING
Your Engagement Session
First things first, set up your engagement session! This will provide you with invaluable practice before your wedding, giving us a chance to meet each other and get you comfy in front of the camera. You'll also be able to use these images on your save the dates, guest book, etc.
Vendor Suggestions
Planning your wedding involves hiring a lot of outside vendors to make everything happen! We know this can be overwhelming as there are so many options. Weāve curated a list of vendors weāve worked with in the past and have had a good experience with. If you reach out to them be sure to tell them we sent you their way!
Printing
Through Your Gallery
Your gallery is connected to our professional lab for seamless ordering of framed prints, canvases, etc. It's important to print your photos here to ensure accurate colors and crisp printing so the quality of the photos you paid for doesn't get diminished.
To access your store simply go to your online gallery and click "shop" at the top or in the bottom right of each photo there is a "buy" button. You'll want to click "view all products" to see all of your options.
Make sure to share your guest link to everyone incase they want to download or purchase anything too, since they will also have access to the online store!
Custom Designed Albums
The ultimate keepsake for your wedding day is a beautifully designed heirloom album. These albums are crafted to last generations and are an incredible gift for not only you, but your children, grandchildren and generations to come.
Simply choose which images you'd like to be printed in your album and we'll take care of the rest.
