Step 2: EXPLORE THE OPTIONS

When it comes to Portland wedding photography, your vision is everything! So, let’s hop on a face-to-face chat to explore yours in more detail while also answering the long list of questions you have about the experience ahead. And whether you choose to book with me or not, you’ll leave our call with my recommended first draft photography timeline based on your unique celebration (this will help us decide how many hours of photography you should book) and my curated list of top-tier local vendors!

Step 3: save the date

Within just a few hours of our Zoom call, I’ll send over an email that reviews everything we discussed and includes a personalized timeline (completely subject to change, of course), my favorite vendors list, and a resource to help you fine-tune your ideal photography collection. And if you’ve decided that we’re the right fit, a signed agreement and paid retainer will officially land your date on my calendar! Now, grab your favorite pen and check “book wedding photographer” off your to-do list!

Step 4: sAY “SO LONG” TO PLANNING STRESS

Between our initial Zoom call and the month before “I do,” I don’t have any homework for you. But I’d love it if you kept in touch! Send me that picture of your dream wedding gown. Ask me to find the perfect location for your engagement session. Brainstorm with me to find the perfect wedding colors that will tie everything perfectly together. Don’t be a stranger and let me know how I can help!

Step 5: FINAL TOUCHES

One month before you start gathering all of your wedding day treasures and head to your venue, I’ll send over an in-depth wedding questionnaire to find out everything from your final vendor list to whether or not Aunt Linda and Uncle Dave are speaking at the moment. Then, I’ll use the details you share to perfect your timeline, build your family photo list, and check in with any vendors I might need to collaborate with on the big day.

Step 6:SAY “I DO””

Your wedding day is here! And you? You’re fully prepped and 100% free to be in the moment. I’ll be by your side to document it all—tears, toasts, twirls, and everything in between—while making sure you feel relaxed, confident, and totally yourselves. Soak it all in–I’ve got everything else cover

Step 7: SNEAK A PEEK

Before you’ve even finished your honeymoon, you’ll be able to get a 30-image (or more) glimpse into the way your celebration looked through my lens! Feel free to share your favorites on social media or the entire sneak peek album with your friends and family. But I know that, even with a sneak peek, you’re still eagerly awaiting the full gallery…

Step 8: RELIVE THE LOVE

Just as your cheeks stop hurting from your constant wedding day smiles, the ding of your email inbox will announce the arrival of your full, 500+ image/hour wedding gallery! Grab your favorite Dutch Bros order and relive the magic of your wedding day. Experience your celebration from a new perspective, recalling moments you’ve almost forgotten and discover a few that you might have missed entirely! 

Step 9: TREASURE YOUR HEIRLOOMS

With a gallery full of images you love, you definitely won’t want them to spend forever locked away in your email inbox. Let’s get them off your hard drive, onto the walls of your home and into the hands of the people you love most! Access to my print lab allows you to effortlessly create museum-quality prints and albums right from your digital gallery page! And no matter what you choose to do with your images next, you’ll receive a photo box with 70-90 prints and a USB drive as the first heirlooms of the new family you’re building!
