First look
A first look is when a couple chooses to see each other for the first time before the ceremony. A first look can be a great addition to your day because it is a really intimate moment that is shared with just the two of you (and your photographer). It can help ease your mind, give you more time for photos together, and helps make your timeline flexible and easier to work with.


If you choose to forego a first look
If you’ve always dreamed of seeing each other for the first time walking down the aisle, we’ll do it that way. It’s your day and we’ll photograph the moment – whichever moment you choose.
– Consider an earlier ceremony time so we have enough daylight for family photos, bridal party photos, and bride and groom photos.
– Sometimes planning a longer cocktail hour for your guests is a great way to be sure we have enough time for photos.

Wedding Party Portraits
If you are having a first look we have more options as to when we can take wedding party photos. We can take them after the first look or if you prefer to have softer light incorporated we can take them after the ceremony.
If you are not having a first look we will take wedding party photos just after your family photos when the ceremony is finished.
Wedding party photos do not have to be super posed or sterile if you do not want them to be. It can be treated as intentional time set aside for you to hang with your pals. I’m just there to document all the love.
FAMILY
PORTRAITS
Approximately 30 minutes of photo coverage recommended.
If you are not having a first look, family photos are taken directly after your ceremony. I keep them pretty simple and traditional. We want to make sure we are documenting all your family members that were a part of your day.
If you are having a first look we can take family photos before the ceremony which can free up your family members to mingle with guests during cocktail hour.
Let the members of your family know ahead of time that family photos are happening right after the ceremony so we are sure that everyone knows to stick around when the ceremony has ended.
A shot list of all the family members and the different groupings is really helpful to be sure we don’t forget about anyone.



The Ceremony
- UNPLUGGED
- OUTDOOR CEREMONIES
- INDOOR CEREMONIES
- PROCESSIONAL
- FIRST KISS
- RECESSIONAL
01. Unplugged
An unplugged ceremony is where you ask all of your guests to be present in the moment with you. You can do this by asking them to turn off their cell phones and let the photographer(s) take care of documenting the ceremony.
We love unplugged ceremonies because guests aren’t stepping in front of us to get their own photo or standing up during the ceremony. We hope that your guests will trust us enough to capture all the goodness that is happening!
If you are interested in an unplugged wedding you can have a sign at the ceremony entrance stating that it is an unplugged ceremony and also have your officiant make an announcement to remind everyone to put their phones away and be present.

Couple’s Portraits
Couple’s Portaits
Taking a moment out of your wedding day to stop and take it all in with your partner is SO important. You don’t get very much alone time on your wedding day with everything is buzzing by so fast. This little moment together with just the three of us is pretty special.
I will encourage you to take deep breaths and just sink into what you are feeling, all while guiding you through some connection and cuddles that will yield some beautiful photos!
If you are planing on a first look, we can plan to take most of your couples photos during that time and really document that special moment of seeing each other for the first time.
Directly following the ceremony can also be a great time for couples photos because of all the emotions you are feeling. It’s a beautiful time to be alone and really let yourself feel.
Whether you are having a first look or waiting until after the ceremony to have your couples portrait session, it’s always a great idea to plan to step away for 20 minutes around sunset (golden hour) and take a few more photos with me. This is a really romantic time of day, the light is soft, the air can be a bit cooler, and another chance to be alone for a few moments longer.
The reception
Approximately 2-3 hours of photo coverage recommended.
- Dinner
- Lighting


The reception
01. Dinner
During dinner I prefer to be served with guests, in the same room, so that I don’t miss any key moments like toasts.
02. Lighting
Please ask your DJ to avoid using flashing lights or colored lights until after special dances are finished.
After the wedding
I will be in touch with you within a week after your wedding to share a few photos.
You can expect to receive the fully finished gallery within 10-12 weeks after your wedding date via a downloable link. The link can be shared with your wedding guests.
Always know that I’m here for you and gladly will do whatever I can to help make the planning process easier for you. Please do not hesitate to reach out!
