WHAT TO EXPECT

Let’s get this party started! First, use my inquiry form to tell me more about the two of you and what you’ve got in mind for your celebration. I’ll text you right away (probably within the hour!) to confirm I got it, and as soon as I can get to my computer, I’ll send off an email sharing next steps!

01. SAY HELLO

Next, we’ll get to know each other over Zoom during a no-pressure consultation. We’ll explore the pricing guide together, answer your questions, and start brainstorming ideas for your photography. Then, if you feel like I’m the right fit to document your day…

02. LET’S CHAT 

We’ll get your date on my calendar! I’ll send the wedding agreement and retainer invoice your way. Once you send both back my way, pop some bubbly and celebrate because you’ve just booked your wedding photographer!

03. MAKE IT OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL

Next, we’ll document your engagement! Think of this as a casual, relaxed test run to get to know each other. Like a date night with some gorgeous photos to remember it all by! I’ll help with location and wardrobe, of course, to make even this part of the adventure a breeze.

04. LET’S HAVE A PHOTOSHOOT

I love being kept in the loop while you plan and prepare! That’s why I’m only ever just a text message away! Think of me as another person to bounce ideas off of and send your “Ahhhhh! I found the dress!!!” text to when you say “I do” to your dream gown.

05. STAY IN TOUCH

Two months before your wedding day, I’ll reach out with a questionnaire to get all the details of your big day. I’ll use this to create my shot list and a wedding day timeline to ensure everything flows smoothly. We’ll have a final details call, and then it’s time to prepare for the big day!

06. IRON OUT THE DETAILS

Your wedding day has arrived! It’s time to pop the bubbly and bust out those dance moves you’re known for! While you enjoy every minute, I’ll be documenting it all so you can relive it again and again.

07. PARTY LIKE IT’S 1999

Ten sneak peek images will go live on my Instagram and Facebook the day after your wedding! Enjoy your first look at your big day as seen through my camera, and have fun sharing them with friends and family. Then, just a few days later, a blog with 50 images will go live on my site! That means you’ll have at least 50 photos to enjoy before your wedding week is out!

08. SEE WHAT’S COOKING

Between two and four weeks after your wedding day, your full gallery of over 600 fully-edited images will arrive in your inbox! Now, don’t forget to order your albums and prints, so your pictures can decorate your home for years to come.

There’s absolutely nothing I love more than packing my bags for a destination wedding celebration! I’ll probably be reposting the images I took of a bride and groom in Santorini until I freaking retire!

HANNAH & JOEY

“With all the choices my husband and I made for the wedding, our choice of a photographer was the easiest. From the first meeting, Heather was amazing, and we knew that she had to be the one who captured our day! In the year leading up to the wedding, Heather helped me with so much! She was responsive and actually gave suggestions and ideas! From helping the men with tying ties and zipping girls into dresses, then to the downright magical photos! We will cherish our photos for years to come, and we will be back to have Heather help capture many other special moments in our life!”

“Sometimes I forgot that I hired her because
she felt more like a friend that I’d known my entire life!”

KRISTIN & PAUL

“I wish I could give Heather 100 stars. We could NOT have been happier with our wedding photos. We had a conversation right before the wedding to tell her what was most important to me about capturing that day, and she delivered 10-fold. I don’t know how I will ever decide which photos to use for our album. Heather is worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. Not only is she extremely talented, she is a genuinely beautiful person inside and out, and we truly enjoyed working with her every step of the way. Do yourself a favor and hire her immediately for your special day!”

“Every single time I look at our photos, I’ve been brought to tears.”

Yes! Traveling is one of my favorite things, so I’d love to hit the road or catch a plane to photograph your wedding! Specify the location you’re getting married in your inquiry form, and I’ll share more information on travel pricing during your consultation.

Do you travel outside Ohio to photograph weddings?

Absolutely! In fact, please do! My husband and I incorporated references about our dogs into our own ceremony, so I’d love to help you decide how to include your fur babies in yours! Let me know what you’re imagining, and I’ll craft a timeline that suits your four-legged family members as well as the two-legged ones!

Can we include our pets in our engagement session or ceremony?

Girl, I get you. I’m here to help. Before we start any session, I’ll ask you what you love most about your body so I can highlight that. I’m a pro at posing you to accentuate what you feel great about and hide what feels not-so-great. I promise you’ll love the gallery you receive!

I don’t love the way my body looks on camera. Can you help?

Amazing, I can’t wait to work with you! Send your inquiry through my contact page, and I’ll be back in touch in 24 hours or less. A signed contract and retainer will reserve your date! 

This all sounds incredible! How do we book you?
