Working with Emily was a joy! She really helped my fiancé and I                           and have fun during our engagement shoot. A few short weeks later, she sent us a presentation of the photos. We were able to grab a glass of wine to enjoy the beautiful reveal! It really felt like a second celebration of our engagement.                           
                                                                     
I know they’ll come out beautiful.

Does the Package Not Fit?

After you’ve filled out my contact form, we’ll hop on a call, zoom or meet in-person to get to know one another and hear all about the day you’re dreaming up. 

1. Hop on a call

Next, you’ll choose a package that makes sense with your plans and I’ll send over a booking proposal. With a signed contract and retainer payment, you’ll be booked and we’ll dive into the planning and your engagement session soon after. 

2. confirm your booking

After you book, I’ll start researching your elopement location or assisting with any wedding planning I can. I’m available to you for as many calls and meetings as you need, but at a minimum, I’ll ask you to meet about 6 months before to write your timeline and hash out many of the details.

3. plan your perfect wedding day

We’ll be in touch in the weeks leading up to make sure all the details are finalized so that on the big day, all you need to do is show up madly in love and revel in your day. Leave the rest to me and the team. 

4. revel in your big day

Within a few days of the wedding or elopement, you’ll receive sneak peeks of your photos followed by your fully edited gallery in the following weeks. You’ll set aside a time to be together so you can relive the day from the comforts of your couch with a glass of wine in hand.

5. the photo reveal

Then, we’ll meet to design your custom heirloom wedding album where you’ll see samples, choose your cover material and more.

All that’s left to do is cherish your photos for years to come from the walls of your home, through the pages of your album and passed down to future generations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance of my wedding date do I need to book you?

Typically, couples book with us between 9 and 14 months out from their wedding, however, some have booked only 3 months in advance if the date was available. There’s no hard and fast rule of when you need to book but as a general rule of thumb, the further out from the date, the more likely I am to be available. Saturday weddings between May and October (the busiest season in Michigan) receive the most demand. If you’re planning a wedding or elopement outside of Michigan, the earlier the better. For weekday elopements and intimate weddings, availability will be more likely and may require less advance notice.

what's your payment schedule like?

To reserve your date, all collections, regardless of total package price, require a $1,500 non-refundable booking retainer for any weekend wedding or elopement date ($1,000 for weekday (M-Th) weddings or elopements) to reserve your date. The remaining payments vary based on the collection or custom package chosen. Approximately 40% of the package price will be due 1 month prior to the wedding. The remaining balance will be split into 2 to 3 smaller installments based on works rendered in the months between booking and the final payment. All payments become non-refundable on the day they are due.

WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?

You'll receive a hand full of preview images within 2-3 business days of your session or wedding! After that, engagement sessions are delivered in 3 weeks while weddings and elopements are delivered in 12 weeks. Editing is a huge part of the creative process and while I do my best to turnaround photos as fast as possible, I touch every single image and want to ensure every memory receives the proper attention it deserves. 

WHAT IS YOUR POST-PROCESSING LIKE? DO YOU EDIT EVERY PHOTO?

Every photo I deliver to you is edited in the style you see across my website and special media. I do some minimal retouching for things that aren’t permanent like, blemishes, bruises, etc.) and occasionally remove distracting objects from the environment. However, I’m not a fan of composites (or adding in backgrounds, sunsets, environments that weren’t actually there) or any body manipulation so you won’t see any of that. I deliver about 10% of the images in a duplicate black and white version as well. 

DO YOUR PACKAGES INCLUDE ALL OF THE DIGITAL PHOTOS? 

Yes! For any wedding or elopement photography collection or a la carte package, you'll receive all of the final digital images in .jpg format via an online gallery where you can download all of the images directly to your computer to be backed up for the long haul. I guarantee the online hosting of your gallery for 6 months, but contractually, you are responsible for the long term storage of your photos. You can also share the gallery link with any friends or family that you choose to and they can download them as well. You will have a unique download password that you can choose whether or not to share with others. Basically, the photos are yours and you can either spread them like wild fire or hoard them all to yourselves, it's totally up to you!

DO YOU CHARGE A TRAVEL FEE?

Nope! I’ve designed my wedding collections based on event size and location and this includes all taxes and travel costs. The only exception is if you choose to travel outside of the metro Detroit area for your engagement session in which case there may be an additional travel fee for any distances above and beyond 100 miles total. The only other thing to note is that you are responsible for any permit, parking or entrance fees that may be required on the day of the wedding. elopement or engagement session.

How do we book with you? 

1. Fill out this contact form or email me directly and tell me about your plans! 
2. After I do a happy dance, I'll send over more information, including my pricing guide, and then we'll find a time to connect on the phone or over zoom. This way we can get to know one another, chat through the details of your day and answer any questions you have.
3. When you’re ready to book and lock in your wedding date, I'll prepare and send over a booking proposal where you can review the details and fine print. 
3. You sign and pay, and then we start planning!

Have other questions? I’m an open book and always here to help!
