A second photographer isn’t a luxury add-on. It’s coverage insurance for a day that happens in more than one place at once. Two locations, one moment.

Most couples haven’t hired a wedding photographer before. Why would they have? So before the wedding, we talk. That’s the pre-event consult, and it does more work than people expect from a single conversation. Here’s what actually happens on that call. We walk your day, start to finish.
