Wedding Day Timelines:

I am flexible in this area, it is your day and you decide your own wedding day timeline.  This is a guideline and can be revised if needed.  It is ideal to start your photography session two hours prior to the ceremony time.  During this time we photograph the bridal gown, the bride getting into her dress and last minute touch-ups on her hair and makeup.  Once ready, we photograph the bride alone, her with her bridesmaids and important family and friends.  Keeping the bride and groom separated - We also follow the same photographing procedure with the groom, his groomsmen, family and friends.  Once these portraits are complete, it is usually very close to ceremony time.  We then photograph the ceremony.  After the ceremony we photograph the Bride and Groom with their family units, bridal party and as a couple.  Depending on the size of the bridal families and the bridal party itself, these group portraits usually take 30-45 minutes to complete.  Once these portraits are complete, we move on into the reception for the allotted amount of time defined in the wedding package chosen.  At the reception, we capture the special events, food and guests as time permits.  Additional Time is $120.00 per hour and is calculated in 1 hour increments.   Additional time payment is due at wedding.

 

 
Portrait Sittings
Portrait Sittings take approximately 1 hour depending on the subject and sitting expectations . (Children and Infants may take longer.)  I am patient and try to take as much time as need to capture your personality and charm.  I love my job and have a great time with my clients!
