This is the perfect time for us to get to know each other! I will want hear how you met, how he proposed, and what you are both passionate about. The session is our opportunity to get you comfortable in portraits together. I tell you exactly what to do, where to look, and how to pose to get those beautifully candid and sweet moments of you loving on each other.

Three months before your wedding, we will reconnect to review your Timeline! I will also ask that you fill out my online, digital Wedding Day Questionnaire. It gives me all the information I need to prepare for your day including your Family Photo Shot List so we can organize family photos to a tee.

I love sharing photos as soon as possible! Highlights from your day will be featured on my social media within one week of your wedding day. Within 6-8 weeks of your wedding, you will receive the online, downloadable wedding gallery. Nothing makes me happier than when you share these photos with family and friends who can also download them for free. The gallery is linked to my professional printer, so you can add photos to your cart and order professional prints as you’d like. Download, share, and relive every last moment of your wedding day.
cheers to you!

akp planning tips
Have hair and makeup complete for everyone thirty minutes before my arrival time
This gives me time to photograph you, your bridesmaids, and your mom relaxing together, looking already beautiful for your day.
Consider a First Look!
90% of my couples have a First Look. They love how relaxed they feel once they see each other and how it frees up time after the ceremony since most of the portraits we need are already done! It allows time for relaxing with each other and your bridal party and for portraits in case we want to venture off to other photo spots.
Prepare a bag or box of your wedding details for me when I arrive.
Include all rings, your invitation suite, shoes, veil, jewelry, perfume, heirlooms, garters, and any other special items.
