Full Day Coverage

Full day continuous coverage – from details to send off! 

On your wedding day, once we arrive we’re all yours! We capture every moment of your day: from details to send off! While no two weddings are the same, there’s one thing we know to be true – we love serving our couples by documenting the full day. For most couples full day means somewhere around 8-11 hours. I’ll create a custom photography timeline for your coverage (more about this below) and you can rest assured that we’ll capture your wedding day with the images your legacy deserves. 

Engagement Session

Engagement sessions are our absolute FAVORITE!

I love when a couple chooses to include an engagement session with their wedding coverage. I believe that they are a VITAL part of the entire process. It is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for you to experience my posing style. I make posing effortless, capturing an elegant combination of natural and refined portraits.

These are best shot at least 4-6 months before your wedding. We will choose a date first, then location, followed by the time so that we can get the absolute best light. I love it when couples choose a location that is special or sentimental to them. But, if you don’t have a specific place in mind, I can offer a few ideas based on the look you would like to achieve for the session.

The engagement session will make huge impact on how your wedding day flows. I will arrive on your wedding day with a good understanding of how you two interact and how to photograph you in a way that looks genuine and natural. The best part of the engagement session is that you will have had practice with our core poses so that you are a pro on your wedding day.

Wedding Day Timeline

We craft the perfect timeline for photographing your day!

I am all about processes and efficiency! I craft and use a detailed plan to photograph your day so that you’ll know exactly what to expect for wedding day experience. I work hand-in-hand with your planner. While we aren’t wedding planners ourselves, I am a professional at building timelines for the flow of your day where photos are involved. Efficient family portraits leave plenty of time for gorgeous bride and groom portraits. I know that getting your bridal party on a trolly and traveling to the church takes some time and that’s ok! I plan for that and any other details of your day that make your wedding photography timeline customized to you! 

Design Session

Gallery Viewing & Album Design Celebration at our studio in Daphne, AL 

After the wedding is over, you’re home from your honeymoon and your wedding gallery is finally ready, if you pre-purchased an heirloom album, we schedule your Design Session. I make preserving your beautiful images a fun experience with our Design Sessions – the perfect way to create your custom heirloom wedding album. I know that choosing the best images, how to display them, and where to feature them in your album or home can be an overwhelming task. I have a system to make this process fun for our couples. 

  • I pre-design your album spreads for you!
  • Pop a bottle of Veuve Clicquot and enjoy a charcuterie board!
  • Have a viewing party with your wedding gallery slideshow!
  • I’ll walk you through how to use your online gallery to the fullest!
  • You’ll select your album enhancements!
  • You’ll leave with your custom engraved USB and excited to share your favorite images with your family & friends!

In addition to heirloom albums, I offer classic and modern wall art and other quality print products! Goodie and Smith albums are handcrafted in the United States and designed to be timeless!
