 We Have Answers!

frequently asked questions

01. When should we schedule our timeline meeting?

We’ll schedule our timeline meeting about 3 months before your wedding. This gives us plenty of time to finalize the day's flow and make sure every important moment is accounted for. If you have changes closer to the date, we can always make adjustments later. Wedding Timelines are a very relaxed starting point for the day that helps keep things in order with room for mix up's and what have you's. I design my wedding timelines to give couples the best experience possible, knowing exactly what goes into a typical wedding day. Trusting me as your photographer every step of the way. 


02.When should we schedule A site visit?

We can schedule the art direction tour of the venue about 3-6 months before the wedding. This tour is an essential step in mapping out a clear vision for your wedding day. It allows me to scout the best locations for your photos, assess lighting at different times of day, and plan for creative opportunities. By walking through the venue together, we can align on key moments and ensure we’re fully prepared. This also helps you feel confident and relaxed, knowing we have a vision in place for the best possible experience on your wedding day.

03. How long will it take to receive our engagement photos?

You can expect your engagement photos within 6-8 weeks after the session. I’ll also provide highlight collection within 72 hours so you have some to share and enjoy right away! Timeline for gallery delivery may slightly vary depending on the time of the season but I will keep you in the loop with any changes.


04. What is the turnaround time for our wedding photos?

Your full wedding gallery will be delivered within 10-12 weeks after the wedding. I’ll send you a highlight gallery within 72 hours so you can relive a few special moments while waiting for the full collection. Timeline for gallery delivery may slightly vary depending on the time of the season but I will keep you in the loop with any changes.


05. What details should we include for the wedding day photos?

For your wedding details, gather items like your invitation suite, rings, jewelry, shoes, perfume, and any meaningful heirlooms or personal touches. If you have custom elements, like vow books or a special hanger for your dress, include those too. These small details help tell the story of your day beautifully! A lovely personal touch is saving a few extra flowers from the florist to add in! 

 

06.What should we include in our family shot list?

When creating your family shot list, include all the essential groupings, such as immediate family, extended family, and any special family combinations you’d like. For example: “Bride with parents, Groom with siblings, Both sets of grandparents with couple.” It’s helpful to keep the list around 10-15 groupings so we can move efficiently after the ceremony. An excel spreadsheet might be your best friend with this task. You'll be thankful we did it on the day of!

07. Can we include pets in our engagement or wedding photos?

Absolutely! If you want to include your pets, just let me know. For the wedding day, I recommend having a designated person to handle your pet when they’re not in photos. Pets add so much personality and fun to your photos!
