This page will guide you through my processes, investment info, glowing reviews, and ways to enhance your experience with me! You might notice one common thread throughout everything I do: I'm here to relieve the overwhelm for you! My approach to everything - from pricing, to processes, even my approach on your wedding day - is totally effortless for you, yet organized and purposeful to give you the best experience possible.
Okay, let's dive on in to the details! You're one step closer to becoming an AWP bride!

My Approach
THE METHOD BEHIND THE MAGIC
From initial inquiry to album delivery, my goal is to leave you with a happy heart and stunning photographs! Personal connection is at the core of AWP, because connection with our couples and their loved ones is the key to authentic images. My goal is always to help you feel comfortable and loved, allowing us to capture the real you!
On your wedding day, I'll be in my trusty Rothy's and on the hunt for moments. The way your best friend lights up when she sees you in your wedding dress, the tear your mama wipes away as you come down the aisle, the look of pure joy and adoration on your groom's face all day long, beaming as he realizes he's the luckiest man in the world.
With me, you and your crew can look forward to a portrait experience that's FUN and light-hearted! We know how important these photos are to you, and we believe the time spent creating them on your wedding day should be stress-free and enjoyable. You'll never have to worry whether we got the shot or if everything looks just right. I promise, we've got you covered!

- Jeff & Emily
Meet Leigh, AWP's dedicated assistant! She works directly for the AWP team, so she's just as invested in your wedding day as I am. Leigh is on site with us to help with scouting portrait locations, wrangling family members for portraits, and orchestrating lighting setups. I can't imagine a wedding day without her!
We'll also have a second photographer with us on the wedding day, to ensure multiple angles of coverage and to allow us to be in two places at once! I have a short list of photographers that I work with often, all of whom have a similar style to my own and work well with our team.
The second photographer is fully qualified to take over as the lead in the extremely unlikely event that something were to happen to me on the wedding day, so you can rest assured knowing your day is covered no matter what!

The next step is to hop on a quick call to discuss the details and to 100% make sure we are the PERFECT fit! Don't worry if you aren't sure what you need yet - we can iron out those details over the phone! After years of experience in the wedding industry, I'll be able to help guide you through any lingering questions to make sure you get exactly what you need. Be sure to respond back to my inquiry email to confirm a time to chat! Once we hop off our call, I will send over a booking proposal for you to review. This puts your wedding day "on hold" for three days, so you guys can talk over this decision without worrying about anyone grabbing your date!
Once you are ready to book, you'll simply sign the contract online, pay a $1500 retainer, and do a happy dance because you are OFFICIALLY an AWP bride! YAY! No other payment is due until 30 days prior to your wedding date, but you are always more than welcome to make payments as you go.
How long does it take to get my images back?
My team and I work magic to make sure you get to see some of your images before you even leave for your honeymoon! You can look forward to a handful of sneak peek images within 24 hours, and then a full recap of your wedding day will be on the blog the Wednesday after your wedding! The recap contains DOZENS of images, which are also sent to you in a highlight gallery so that you can immediately share with loved ones and update your profile picture!
You'll receive your full wedding gallery on your one month wedding anniversary! Be sure to clear your calendar, open a bottle of wine, and plan a date night on the couch reliving your wedding day! A typical 8-hour wedding day is about 800 final images.
