I hope that by now y’all know that YOU are the reason I do what I do (and if you didn’t already know, now you do!), and that’s why I want to make sure you have the best experience possible when you hire me to photograph your intimate wedding or elopement. So today I’m going to walk you through what your experience will be like when you work with me – how you’ll feel, how we’ll work together to capture the stunning images you want, and ALLLL the little details that will take your experience to the next level.
Step one is for you to browse through my pricing guide …
… and frequently asked questions (found here), and see which session package is right for you. Remember, the prices listed there are starting points, but each package can be customized for you & your specific needs! Once you submit an inquiry, you’ll receive a questionnaire via email AND a much more extensive online pricing guide that will (hopefully) answer any of your questions about pricing (and if it doesn’t, I LOVE connecting with you to discuss everything much more in depth). This brings me to the …
Pre-booking Phone Consultation
If you have any questions about anything (at all), I want you to feel free to ask me anything. You deserve to have ALL the information before making the decision to hire me. So use this opportunity to ask me anything. I’m serious, I’m an open book! I just want you to feel completely comfortable with your decision to hire me to photograph your love.
In addition to all of the questions you have for me, we’ll also talk all about your intimate wedding or elopement date and location, planning, styling, and which price package is right for you – as well as all the things you want to prioritize (such as creating a unique experience for you + your partner, being conscious of the impact your wedding has on the earth, etc.).
Once you’ve decided that you absolutely & positively have to work with me …
… you’ll sign a contract, you’ll send me a non-refundable retainer, and you’ll be put on my calendar! (And you may even receive a celebratory gift in the mail, too!)
Now the fun will really start!
We’ll get deep into the planning process, sending emails back and forth until we’ve planned the day of your absolute dreams! If there are any additional details we need to go over (or if you just want to chat!), we’ll set up a post-booking consultation call – I like to use this time to go over styling tips (oh yeah, after booking you’ll also have access to my online style guide & wedding and/or session guides!), specific location planning, permits & fees, custom wedding day timeline planning, and anything else you need help with (and, as always, all of this with an emphasis on sustainability).
The day we’ve been planning for finally arrives!
No matter what your wedding day is like, I can promise you that it will be even better than you could have ever imagined!
We’ll go our separate ways …
… but not forever. You’ll enjoy some quality time with the love of your life, and I’ll go home with a mountain of photos to edit! I’ll send you sneak peeks, you’ll watch my Instagram stories religiously for even just a glimpse of your photos (I often post updates as I’m editing), and I’ll probably post an IG reel (or two!) of your photos or behind the scenes from our session. And then …
… You’ll receive an online gallery of your photos, and you’ll feel ALL the emotions over again as you relive your best day ever!
I hope this post answers any/all of your questions about what it will be like working with me, and if not, feel free to drop a comment with any questions because I would LOVE to connect with you! And if you feel ready to submit an inquiry, you can expect an answer back within 24 hours!

“Bree was so helpful! We had 1000 things on our mind and she kept us on time. She was so sweet, making us feel natural and capturing the best of us in her photos. She had great ideas and really captured the most important event in our lives. I recommend Bree for the biggest event in your – your wedding!! She was so organized and helpful. She made the whole day a ‘Bree-ze’!
“She was so involved with everything and everyone! She helped so much with getting our families to the right spots at the right times to capture the most important moments with our loved ones! To be honest we didn’t know what to expect, but Bree did! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!
“Bree met every expectation. We wanted someone who could take control, but who would be nice and sweet. We wanted someone who could help us feel natural and not worried about angles and lighting and still capture the best wedding photos we could ask for. Bree was all of that, plus more!!!
“Bree is now a part of our family. She made us feel comfortable and we had so much fun! We will definitely be hiring her again in the future!!”
