What to Expect When You Book ALP

Hey there — I’m so glad you’re here.

If you’re considering booking me as your wedding photographer, you’re probably wondering what it’s actually like to work with me. What happens after you inquire? How do we plan your engagement session? What can you expect on your wedding day?

This post is here to walk you through The ALP Experience — the signature approach I’ve crafted to guide you every step of the way, from the moment you reach out until long after your gallery is delivered.

To start the process, you will need to visit the Contact page on my website. From there, click on Wedding Inquiries. You will be redirected to a forum that you will need to fill out and submit. While you are filling out each box, be sure to include as much information as you can. The more, the better!

After you reach out, I’ll respond personally and let you know if I have availability on your wedding date and send over my pricing and information guide for you to review. In the guide you will find:

To officially secure your wedding date on my calendar, there are two steps:

Everything will be done electronically to eliminate any added stress. Once both the signed contract and retainer payment are received, I will countersign the agreement and lock your date into my calendar. After that, you’re officially an ALP couple!

Right after booking, you’ll receive:

This is where your tailored experience begins — designed to remove stress, build trust, and help you feel fully supported.

We’ll collaborate to choose a location that reflects your relationship — whether that’s a romantic nature trail, a chic downtown corner, or somewhere totally personal. You’ll also get expert guidance on:

Don’t worry — I’ll walk you through every detail.

If you are feeling the weight of wedding planning and need a little check-in before your wedding day, we will schedule a call. This is not a requirement but simply an offer for me to lend a hand. If needed, about 4–6 weeks before your wedding, we’ll hop on a final planning call to:

This ensures your day flows smoothly and that nothing important gets missed without making you feel like you have one more thing to complete on a check list.

One month before your wedding, you’ll receive the ALP Wedding Day Questionnaire — a comprehensive form I’ve curated and refined over the past 6 years. It includes:

This form is designed to allow you to be fully present on your wedding day. By gathering all the key information ahead of time, I can move through your day confidently and intuitively — without needing to ask you constant questions. It’s a tool that sets us both up for success.

On the big day, I’ll arrive early to begin documenting details and creating a calm, supportive atmosphere. My style is a blend of editorial artistry and heartfelt candids — giving you a collection of timeless, emotional images.

Throughout the day, I’ll guide you when needed and fade into the background when I should. You get to be fully present — I’ll handle the rest.

You’ll receive a sneak peek gallery within the first week, followed by your full gallery 6–8 weeks after the wedding. Your final delivery includes:

Your story doesn’t end at the aisle — and neither does our connection. I love staying in touch for:

When you’re an ALP couple, you’re part of the family.

This process has been thoughtfully designed so you can feel completely at ease — with a photographer who genuinely sees and celebrates your story. If you’re ready for timeless, true-to-you wedding imagery and a stress-free experience from start to finish, I’d love to hear from you.

XOXO
