WHAT IS IT LIKE TO WORK WITH US? (Wedding)
STEP ONE - THE CALL
We start with an appointment (usually a virtual Zoom call) to connect and get to know each other. We deeply care every single relationship and want to be everything you want. Seriously, WE GENUINELY CARE. :-) The appointment is usually about 30 minutes, and before the call, we encourage you to fill out a questionnaire about you two, your pets, the wedding, and your family. As weddings are considered to be one of most intimate life events, where your close loved ones are together at one place, the more information we have the better. We will also answer ALL questions you may have. Then, we will customize the perfect photography and/or videography package for you during the call to move forward. We have pre-designed collections you can choose from, or we can customize your own.
STEP 2 - yay!
Once the retainer fee (deposit) of $2,500 and a contract are signed, we will hold your date officially and turn away all inquiries for your date. That entire date is all yours - whether it’s an elopement or a destination wedding; because a lot of our clients book us so far in advance and we don’t have the exact start time - this relieves any stress for you! No matter how many hours you end up booking, we dedicate that day just for you. If we (Annie and/or Brett) are booked on your date, our talented associates may be available for you..
Our videography’s retainer fee is 50% of your chosen package and our balance is due by 7 days before your wedding.
STEP 3 - Planning the details
Many couples book us early to reserve their date; so as your plans develop, we are here to go over the details and capture your vision. If there is any life event change in the family (marriage/divorce/death/birth), we’d love to know. Our caring personalities, expertises and skills in photojournalism guarantee that we will authentically and beautifully document your day, letting you focus on what matters most.
You will likely to receive another questionnaire as the wedding approaches (1-2 months before), when we have a tentative timeline available; we will especially discuss our coverage start/end time and posed/family group photo list. And that’s it!
Seriously, we are just as excited as you are because we’ve never been to your wedding! How exciting is that!? We can’t wait to be part of your journey and help create lasting memories.
STEP 4 - it’s your wedding day!
This day is a celebration of love, filled with genuine emotions and unforgettable moments. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO? NOTHING BUT BE PRESENT AND ENJOY! It is our privilege to document these authentic experiences as they unfold, capturing the laughter, tears, and joy shared among family and friends. With an artistic eye and a passion for storytelling, we focus on the candid interactions and spontaneous occurrences that truly convey the essence of your day. Trust us to preserve the real moments that will become cherished memories for years to come.
We prioritize creating a comfortable and unobtrusive atmosphere on your special day - for every single person at your wedding. Our friendly team will follow your wedding dress code for guests as well, allowing us to blend seamlessly into your celebration, instead of standing out like “bossy and demanding photographers.” This approach enables us to capture those intimate, candid moments that truly tell the story of your wedding. We truly look forward to documenting your day with authenticity and warmth, ensuring that every emotional detail is preserved for you to cherish for years to come.
step 5 - photossss!
After we soak in all the glories and fun of your wedding day through our photos (and wedding films) on your screen, we want to ask, “how will you want to enjoy these photos for a lifetime?” Should we print a gorgeous photo book? Should we also gift a couple of them to parents because these duplicates receive 30% off?
Or do you want to own print rights to ALL photos? Did you already purchase the “digital negatives”?
Do you want to send out thank-you and/or holiday cards? We’re also partnered with Minted, and we make ordering any cards super easy for you by uploading your photos onto Minted database already, and you can pick anything you want! Tell us your interests and we will set you up - even better you can get discounts - especially during holidays!
Each photo product is crafted with care and attention to detail, allowing you to relive the joy of your special day whenever you wish. Choose from our variety of options and keep your precious moments alive forever!
