THE GOLDEN HOUR PHOTO CO PROCESS
This is one of the most significant milestones of your life! My team and I have designed a detailed and thoughtful process to take the pressure off and help you stay present on your wedding day, while we document it all.
Our approach is personal and focused on truly understanding who you are as a couple. By taking the time to get to know you and your vision, we're able to capture your love story in the most authentic way!
01. Vision Meeting
This is your chance to get to know us and for us to get to know you! We'll discuss all the details of your wedding day and create a custom proposal that suits your unique needs. By the end of the meeting, you'll have all the information you need to make an informed decision - and hopefully, we'll be a great match!
02. Engagement Session
We want you to feel comfortable in front of the camera, so we include a complimentary engagement session with all of our wedding packages. It's like a practice shoot before the big day! Plus, you'll end up with gorgeous photos that you can use for save-the-dates or invites.
03. Planning Call
This is what separates us from most other photographers! As individuals who love a good plan, we’ll guide you through a questionnaire and photo schedule document. This helps us ensure that we're ready to capture all the important moments, while still allowing your day to unfold naturally.
04. Pre-Venue Visit
If we haven’t shot at your venue, this is a crucial piece to the puzzle! We’ll do a pre-venue visit to explore the grounds and get familiar with the lighting.This allows us to make sure we are prepared to capture your day flawlessly. If for any reason, this is not possible, we will try our best to get photos and an idea of the space so we can be prepared.
05. Your Big Day
This is a given, but this is such an important day for not only you, but for us! We've done our creative research, reviewed your questionnaire, and made sure our equipment is ready to capture every moment of your special day. We'll arrive 15 minutes early to set up, and start capturing your day as it unfolds naturally. We'll provide some direction with actions and prompts, but our focus will be on capturing authentic moments and genuine emotions.
06. The Delivery
While you're soaking up the newlywed bliss, we'll be working behind the scenes to create a beautiful gallery of your wedding day. After your wedding day, we like to give our couples a sneak peek edit as we know how exciting it is to be able to relive the day over and over. Then, we'll get to work on the full edit, and deliver your photos within 4 weeks of your wedding date! Once your photos are delivered through our online portal, you can share with friends and family, download, and browse your custom print shop to order thank you cards and photo albums.
