Getting ready with the guys!

Grab your guys and your favorite drink, and just hang out for some candid photos. I promise this will be a super relaxed time!

1:40-2:30pm

Getting ready with the ladies!

Details are so important. Everything from flowers to rings to shoes. I won't forget any of it, and neither will you after you see the photos!

2:40pm

BRide into dress!

Another detail not to be forgotten. Have your mom, maid of honor and friends get hands on with the details here! I'm here to be your guide.

3:00-3:10pm

Time for the first look!

I love the emotion that happens during this special moment of seeing your soon-to-be spouse on your big day. Don't be afraid to show all the emotions here.

3:10-3:40pm

Wedding Party Group Portraits

Let's make this part super fun. Laugh, tell jokes, and most importantly RELAX! These are your people, so let's just enjoy this moment, and I'll capture it all.

3:40-4:20pm

Couples Photos

This time is just about you two. I'll be your guide. Let's enjoy this time before making it official and capture the sweetest portraits of the newlyweds!

4:30-4:50pm

Catch your Breath

Taking a breather before the ceremony gives you time to calm your nerves and to be present in the moment. You won't regret setting aside a sliver of time for this! 

5:00-5:20pm

Time to get married!

This is the moment you've been planning and waiting for! It's time to capture the vows, tears, and love that radiates from you and your fiance!

5:20-5:30pm

Make it official!

It's officially official. I love documenting the small detail of the signing of the license. It's moments like these that seem to slip past your memory after the day is over.

5:35-5:50pm

Family Portraits

Let's knock it out of the park with these family portraits while the guests are at cocktail hour or just mingling and chatting. We'll be quick, but thorough, of course!

5:50-6:30pm

Join the cocktail party!

I'll capture the two of you while you rejoin the cocktail party, which will already be underway. Smile, laugh and show your excitement to be with your people!

Grand Entrance!

After guests are seated, and you make your way to the reception, show excitement and stay close to your fiance!

6:35-7:45pm

Dinner & Toasts

Everyone is settling down for dinner and toasts. I'll be blending in with your guests, capturing everyone enjoying this time with their loved ones.

7:45-7:50pm

Mmmmm... Cake

Who doesn't love dessert? The suspense of the first piece of cake is one of my favorite moments to capture. Will it be a gentle and sweet gesture, or cake smashed everywhere? :)

7:50-8:05pm

First Dances

Mother and son dance and father and daughter dance, along with the newlywed first dance, are memories that you'll never want to forget!

8:05-8:20pm

Golden Hour Portraits

Golden hour (sunset) for portraits is absolutely amazing. Let's sneak away for a bit to capture this time on your big day. I promise you won't regret it.

8:20-9:00pm

Party on!

It's time to party! It's so much fun to dance, drink and celebrate with your people, and I'll be amongst your guests, capturing it all.

9:00pm

Photographer departs

Thanks so much for letting me capture your big day! We will be in touch within a couple of days, and you can expect delivery of photos within 3 weeks. Have an amazing honeymoon!
