The Wedding Photography Process
Inquiry & Consultation
Reach out via phone, email, or the booking form. We'll schedule a consultation (in-person, phone, or video) to discuss your wedding vision, answer questions, and make sure we're a great fit!
Booking & Contract
Love what you hear? Sign the contract and pay your retainer to officially book your date! Your wedding date is secured once the contract is signed.
Engagement Session
3-6 months before your wedding, we'll do your engagement session. This helps you get comfortable in front of the camera and gives you beautiful photos for save-the-dates or guest book!
Timeline Planning
2-3 months before your wedding, we'll create your detailed photography timeline. I'll make sure you have enough time for all the photos you want while staying on schedule.
Your Wedding Day!
I arrive on time, blend into your day, and capture every important moment. You'll barely notice I'm there during candid moments, but I'll guide you through portraits to ensure you look your best.
Gallery Delivery
Within 4-6 weeks, your full wedding gallery is ready! Receive 400-600+ professionally edited images in a beautiful online gallery. Download, share, and print to your heart's content!
Wedding Photography FAQs
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend booking 9-18 months before your wedding date, especially for popular summer and fall weekends. However, if your date is coming up soon, still reach out - I might have availability!
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes! Based in Chillicothe, I regularly photograph weddings throughout North Central Missouri, Kansas City, Columbia, and beyond. Travel fees may apply for weddings outside Livingston County.
How many photos will we receive?
For a standard 8-hour wedding, expect 400-600+ edited images. More coverage time = more photos! Every image is professionally edited and delivered in high resolution.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! A 30% retainer secures your date, with the remaining balance due 2 weeks before your wedding. Custom payment plans can be arranged - just ask!
What if it rains on our wedding day?
Missouri weather is unpredictable! I've photographed beautiful weddings in every condition. We'll have a rain plan ready, and I promise we'll still get gorgeous photos!
When will we receive our wedding photos?
Your full wedding gallery will be delivered within 4-6 weeks after your wedding day. You'll receive a sneak peek of 15-20 edited images within 48-72 hours! All photos are delivered via a private online gallery where you can download, share, and order prints.
Do you provide a second photographer?
For larger weddings (150+ guests) or when you want simultaneous coverage of bride and groom getting ready, I recommend a second photographer. This is included in premium packages or available as an add-on. Two photographers ensure we don't miss any moment!
Can we create a shot list?
Absolutely! I'll send you a detailed questionnaire before your wedding to discuss must-have photos, family groupings, and special moments. However, I'll also capture organic, candid moments throughout the day. The best photos are often unplanned!
Do you offer engagement photo sessions?
Yes! Engagement sessions are a great way for us to work together before your big day. You'll feel more comfortable in front of the camera on your wedding day, and you'll have beautiful photos for save-the-dates, guest books, or your home. Many packages include engagement sessions!
What happens if you're sick on our wedding day?
I have a network of professional backup photographers I trust completely. In the extremely rare event I'm unable to photograph your wedding, a qualified professional will cover your day at no extra cost. Your wedding will be photographed beautifully - that's my promise and commitment to you.
