I know this is probably your first wedding that you’re planning and you have a lot of questions… mainly, is my photographer going to photograph everything I want?! Such a valid question! I’m here to tell you our main priority is to capture what ever your priority as a couple is on the wedding day. With over 100 weddings shot, we’ve developed a system on the day of the wedding to get all of the photographs we possibly can. I wanted to put together this list so you will know what we are automatically going to shoot on the day of your wedding.

Ceremony, Reception
For the ceremony and Reception portions of the night, we are capturing your event as it is. We don’t direct anything, we simply capture as much as we can to tell the story of your day.
If you have any questions about whether something will be captured or not, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via email. We do our best to ensure all of your details from the day are captured but of course, we are only human. If there is something within your wedding day that is special to you please inform us about it beforehand.
