After the wedding, you can expect a selection of high-quality images delivered within 6-8 weeks, allowing you to relive your unforgettable day.

Choosing the right outfits can enhance your photos! Opt for coordinated colors that complement each other, but avoid overly matching. Consider layering and textures to add depth, and remember to choose comfortable clothing that reflects your family's style. Most importantly, wear something that makes you feel confident and happy!

However, I  always accept rescheduling of your wedding day (as long as the date is available) or your photoshoot. If you have further questions please reach out. 

How should I prepare for my  photoshoot?

Choose outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident. Consider the location and theme of your shoot, and opt colors that complement your surroundings (for more info refer above about the FAQ for outfit advice). Make sure to hydrate and moisturize your skin a few days before the shoot. A exfoliation can also help achieve a smooth complexion.  Aim to arrive 15-30 minutes early to for any unexpected delays and to settle in before the shoot begins. Bring any props, accessories, personal items you want to include in the shoot (especially to help entertain the kiddos). Also, consider bringing a touch-up kit for makeup and hair.
