Included when you book with us
Two guides we send every couple in their welcome email, so the details of your day are ready before we arrive.
The detail shots guide
So your morning details are ready before we arrive
- What to gather, and when to have each piece ready
- Small tips that help rings, invitations and perfume look the way you imagine
- A calmer morning, with nothing to hunt for while the day begins
The family photo planner
So the whole group is photographed quickly and calmly
- Plan which family groupings matter most to you
- An order that keeps portraits short and everyone relaxed
- More time for your cocktail hour, and for your people
Made by the two of us
Everything here comes from how we work with couples.
We shoot photo and film together, as one team, and take a limited number of weddings each year. These guides are what we would hand you on a call if we could, so the planning feels lighter and the day feels effortless.
Want the full experience?
We take a limited number of weddings each year so that you feel completely taken care of, from the first hour of the day to the last. Tell us about yours.
