Once we decide that we are a great fit for each other, a signed contract and retainer fee will put your wedding day on my calendar.  Then we can both do a happy dance and let all the fun begin! There may even be a few (good!) surprises along the way.  Most importantly, don't worry about a thing!  I'll send emails periodically to check in with you and make sure we have a solid plan for your wedding day photography.  A month or two ahead of the wedding, you'll submit a questionnaire that will help me understand the vision for the day so I can curate your photographs accordingly, build your custom photography timeline alongside your planner, and make sure we know exactly who we will be photographing during your family portraits so that we can get you back to the party ASAP.  No detail will be left unturned!

The first thing we will do is plan your engagement session.  This gives you a chance to gain confidence behind the camera, have some carefree fun with your fiancé in the midst of your wedding planning journey, and maybe even go out for a pre-wedding date-night in Charlotte afterwards. Depending on how you plan to use your engagement photos, I'll help you choose the right location and wardrobe selections to make sure it's the vibe you had in mind.  

Many MMP Brides choose to have a bridal session as well so they can take their full bridal look on a test run. I mean, when else will you have this good of an excuse to get glammed up and show off your stunning wedding dress? Grab your favorite girls, a bottle of bubbly, and make a day of it. You'll create some core memories together as you build up the anticipation to your big day.  You won't regret doing it, I promise.

Throughout the planning process, I'm going to be there to help answer questions, offer advice, and cheer you on whenever you need it.  One of the most important things that we will do together is create your custom timeline so that your day runs smoothly.  I want to be sure you get the wedding gallery of your dreams while also enjoying every moment in the moment.  The key to this is making sure there's enough breathing room designed into the timeline so you never feel rushed and can truly be present for your wedding day.

Finally! The day you've been dreaming of is here.  Your only job is to take in every moment as it's happening, feel all the things, hug all the people, and dance like only your groom is watching!  You only get to experience this day once, so go ahead and make the most of it.  I'll be there to capture your fairytale story as it unfolds, from the moment you spritzed on your perfume in the bridal suite all the way to killin' it on the dance floor.  No worries, you'll be able to relive those memories whenever you flip through your album.

Gallery delivery day might just become a new holiday in your family!  This is when you get to see the love and joy shared throughout the whole day, peek into the moments that happened in one place while you were in another, and relive each of your favorite moments just how you remembered them. This collection of photographs will become one of your most cherished possessions because it's visual proof of the love story you have begun.

The final piece of the process is to design your heirloom wedding album and maybe even a gallery wall for your home. There's nothing better than looking through tangible photos of your memories as you share stories from that day.  Helping you design your artwork is one of my most important roles.
