What to expect from your wedding photographer

It is important that your experience with Darien Photography is as beautiful as your images. I will take the time to get to know you before the wedding, and I will work with you and your vendors closely to make sure that the vision for your day is captured in your photos. You will end up with a mix of portraits and natural and genuine moments captured on images that will really tell the story of one of the most important days of your life.

“When you are present in the moment there is a timeless quality to it” —Geene Roth


 

Each couple is unique. I will tailor your photography experience to your preference, but the following information will give you an idea of what to expect from me as your wedding photographer.


If the following resonates with you,

we will be a good fit:

  1. You value photography as the artistic legacy of your love story.

  2. You have dreamed about your wedding day, and may have hired an expert planner to execute your vision. You want a photographer who understands that vision and captures it into the images that you will, one day, show to your grandkids with pride.

  3. You want to make every moment count, have fun, and enjoy your wedding while I document it. You may want those traditional portraits done, but your priority is to enjoy your carefully planned celebration with the love of your life, friends and family, instead of turning your wedding into a long photo shoot.

  4. You want images that flow and tell the story of your day instead of pretty but isolated images.

  5. You believe that the big moments in your life should last a lifetime, and the best way to preserve them is by printing them into archive quality albums for you to enjoy day to day now, and to pass down as heirlooms to the next generation.

 
“In a few words, my experience with Darien was relaxing, effortless and fun.”

CONNECT & SAVE THE DATE

We start by connecting online, email, and having a phone call or meeting in person, to determine if we are a good fit and then move on to the booking process. We will talk about you, your vision, and how can I help you to capture it and preserve it with my photography. Once we know that we are a good fit, I will send you an online booking proposal, where you can review your package and pay your retainer to book the date and make it official.

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS

The fun begins with your engagement session! I will work with you to help you choose a location and wardrobe, and put you at ease in front of the camera. This is a favorite of mine, because this sessions allows me to start capturing the joy of this new season of your life together.

TIMELINE TALK

We will talk again to help you create a photography-friendly timeline. I want to make sure that you have all the key moments of your wedding day accounted for, but also that I have time to capture those details that you have dreamed about and the interaction with your guests and family, along with those candid moments that will make your heart melt.

THE WEDDING DAY

Your wedding day is here for you to savor it! It will go by fast, so try to be present in the moment. I will make sure to capture the classic and loving portraits, but also the moments in between, in a creative and unobtrusive way. You will forget about the camera and I will be documenting your love story with images that you will enjoy time and time again.

PRESERVING YOUR MEMORIES

After the wedding, your photos will be delivered via online gallery first. From there you can choose the images that you want to print. At the very least, you will want to have a piece of art from your wedding on your walls, and also an album, as the best tangible way to preserve your wedding investment. These will become conversation pieces and family heirlooms. The joyful moments of your life should last a lifetime!

INVESTMENT

Wedding investments are tailored to fit your individual needs, considering location, wedding-party size, add-ons, and more.

I am available for full-day weddings and two-day wedding commissions, as well as elopements, anniversaries, and vow renewals.
