After you’ve booked your wedding venue, the next best thing is to book your photographer. Most photographers like us, need to book couples a year in advance here in California. Upon inquiring, we’ll confirm if we are indeed available for your wedding date, send our current packages and possibly schedule a meeting together online to discuss how much coverage you’ll need, your goals and saving the date.
Online meetings are scheduled and done with Meg. In the meeting, she'll be able to recommend and produce a working photo timeline and give you tips and suggestions about your wedding day. After the meeting, she'll email you everything that you discussed and create links for you to save the date and review our agreement.
Some of our packages include an engagement session. We’ll plan this on a separate day; most likely on a weekday to avoid the crowds and help you plan all the location(s), your outfits, and best timing for the best lighting. During the session you’ll get to know your photographer for your wedding and you’ll receive your images in about two or three weeks.
The big day! About two months beforehand, we’ll ask you for your final timeline, family photo lists, etc. Our wedding photo teams are always made up of two. One lead photographer; and one primary second photographer. They work like opposing hands of a clock, covering all angles so we don’t miss a moment. Traditionally the lead will be primarily with the bride’s side and the second will handle the groom’s side. Depending on our couples’ wants, culture, religious needs, we can adjust to whatever you feel comfortable with.
After your wedding, we’ll process your images and edit them for straightness, color correction, the most flattering skin tones, and remove any unwanted photos for a complete photojournalistic collection. There is never a cap on how many images we give you and you will own them outright. In four to six weeks, we’ll deliver your images to you via online gallery where you can download all of your images to your personal drives and backup methods.
For most weddings over 6 hours, the coverage between two photographers is paramount to create what we believe is a complete collection for your wedding day. There is a lead photographer and a second photographer. They complement, not repeat, the images they capture.
If you do or don't have a wedding planner, we can help create a realistic photo timeline for you based on your vision and how many hours you have contracted us for. Most planning can be done via email; where Meg keep everything so there are no miscommunications. If an emergency arises we can always hop on a call.
After we deliver your images in four to six weeks from your wedding date, we'll deliver them in an online gallery that you can easily share with friends and family. For one year, you can order prints, make favorites, and view album proofs (if purchased).
