We work with you to set aside time for couple portraits, immediate family photographs, and any other group photographs you request. Depending on your traditions and schedule, portraits may take place before the ceremony, between events, or before the reception. Sharing your family photograph priorities in advance helps us build a realistic plan.

An engagement session gives you a chance to become comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding. It also helps us get to know you and how you interact. You can use the photographs for personal sharing, wedding displays, or a guest-signing book, depending on the products you choose.

Delivery timing depends on your coverage and the products included in your agreement. During your consultation, ask us to explain the expected timing for photographs, films, proofs, and albums, along with any steps that require your selections or approval. Your written agreement should confirm the applicable delivery terms.
