It’s Official!
Your wedding is locked in my calendar – yasss! So what’s next?
If you booked an engagement session with me, I’ll email you to start discussing availability, picking a location, and nailing down all the other details for your shoot.
As for the rest of your wedding, I’ve created some resources below to help you through the planning process. Feel free to reach out if you need help with anything at all! The benefit of attending weddings for a living is I have seen A LOT – I’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and what makes for the most smooth-sailing-stress-free day. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have regarding lighting, locations, timelines, vendor recommendations, and more!

Just a reminder that all wedding day timelines vary based on the time of year, and the events of the day! This is to give you a general idea of how much time to allocate to different events. Please note the sunset time of your wedding day. A first look is encouraged for ceremonies falling within one hour of the sunset time.
Rad Vendors
These are all vendors that I have worked with and love.
They are the best of the best, and people I would hire for my own wedding.
