I – Consultation & Custom Proposal
Your wedding photography experience begins with your consultation. We’ll get to know each other and learn about your dreams for your wedding.

Once your consultation is over, we will have all the information we need to curate your custom proposal tailored to your wants and needs!

To secure your date on our calendar all we need is a signed contract and $1000 retainer. Your balance is due 30 days prior to your wedding and may be paid at any time in any amount via our secure online invoicing. Once we’re official, we love welcoming our new couples with an online announcement and a gift that includes a handwritten thank you note and some delicious cookies from our favorite local baker!
III – Engagement & Bridal Sessions
Once we’ve welcomed you as an official #GandSCouple, the next step is planning for your pre-wedding sessions (if you chose to include any in your collection). When it’s time for your engagement and bridal portraits, we’ll curate a collection of images that reflect who you are as a couple as well as complement your personal style and home decor.

THEY HAVE THE KINDEST THINGS TO SAY
“I cannot express how happy and pleased that Jessica from Goodie and Smith photographed our wedding in October 2021”
I cannot express how happy and pleased that Jessica from Goodie and Smith photographed our wedding in October 2021 at St. James Episcopal Church followed by reception at The Grand. From the surprise welcome package on our front porch, to the detailed itinerary of the actual wedding day, the professionalism, the kindness, the above-and-beyond coordination of my bridal party and family on the day of, the absolutely stunning photographs and then final wedding book that was perfection… I am positive we have found our family photographers for life! What a blessing the entire team was – thank you Goodie and Smith!

“Stop! Look no further! They are the best in the business and will make YOUR day something far beyond special”
Her attention to detail and flexibility had the entire process so fun and exciting for my wife and myself. One of the most special moments was the First Look.She found the perfect location and arranged everything so when I first saw my wife it was something I will remember for the rest of my life. It was so intimate and unique I didn’t even know Jessica and her assistant where there til I was embracing my soon to be wife and wiping away tears.
