Our Wedding Photography Style and Process

We favor a hybrid style that blends candid documentary moments with composed, emotive portraits. Our process starts with an in-depth consultation to learn your priorities. Next we plan the timeline to maximize light and reduce stress on the day of the wedding. During the event we remain unobtrusive during ceremony and cocktail hours, then step forward for directed portraits and creative night shots. Post-wedding we curate your gallery, retouch images, and present an online proofing suite for easy selection of prints and albums.

Pre Wedding Consultation

During our consultation we discuss your timeline, must-have shots, and any cultural or family traditions to honor. We also recommend portrait locations and meal-time flow to prevent coverage gaps. I will provide a sample timeline so you know exactly how photography fits into your wedding day schedule.

Engagement Sessions and Rehearsal Coverage

Engagement sessions are included in many of our packages because they help you become comfortable in front of the camera and build chemistry with me before the wedding. We can also provide rehearsal dinner coverage to document pre-wedding moments and extended family interactions.

Wedding Packages and Custom Options

Our wedding packages are designed to be flexible and transparent. Each package lists hours of coverage, number of photographers, and deliverables such as digital galleries, prints, and albums. We also offer add-ons including second shooters, rehearsal coverage, engagement sessions, and expedited editing. Pricing adjusts based on season, day of the week, and travel outside Redlands.
