PHOTOGRAPHY & BOOKING INFORMATION
Thanks so much for choosing me to photograph your wedding! This page will provide all the information you need to reserve your wedding date. There are two steps, sending the wedding form below and sending the retainer. Once those two steps are in, your wedding date is reserved!
Please keep in mind that this Wedding Form below is not the actual contract. The data will be used to fill out the contract which will then be sent to you for digital signatures. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
Step 1: The Wedding Form
Please fill out this wedding form. All fields marked with * are required. The wedding date can be reserved even if not all the fields are filled out.
Step 2: Send the Retainer
Below on the left is the link to the retainer for Standard Wedding coverage. The link on the right is for A La Carte packages that have been discussed ahead of time. Once the Wedding Form and the retainer are sent in, your wedding date is reserved!

Congrats! Your Date Is Reserved!
HERE ARE THE NEXT STEPS
Alright, your date is reserved! Soon, after we finalize the wedding details (if not already) I will send you the Photo Agreement via Adobe Sign, which is a digital signing service.
You’ll receive an email to sign the pdf agreement, then after you sign it, it will automatically come to me to sign. Once we all sign, we will get signed copies sent to our emails automatically.
No need to sign up or create an account! After the Photo Agreement has been signed, we can schedule a meeting at least a week before the wedding just to confirm the wedding day schedule, weather, locations, or any other updates.
The wedding balance is due 14 days before the wedding date. It can be sent through this page on the Custom Balance page. Then we’re all set!
Family Group Ideas
HURRAY! YOUR WEDDING IS BOOKED, WHAT’S NEXT?
At some point before the wedding we’ll need to look at this checklist but no worries it doesn’t need to be done right away. These are a helpful ideas for family groups and will make the time for posed family group photos be as efficient as possible. On average we can fit about 18-20 different groups in a 30 minute window. Please fill out the starred fields along with your selections; let me know if you have any questions!
