Getting to Know Each Other

The journey begins with a get to know you session. This is not just a casual chat but a crucial step to make sure the couple and Mallory are a good fit. Photography is an intimate service, and it’s important that the personalities and vibes align well. During this meeting, Mallory listens carefully to your story, your vision for the wedding, and what matters most to you in your photos.

This conversation helps build trust and comfort, which are essential for natural, authentic images. It also gives you a chance to ask questions about Mallory’s style, approach, and experience. If the connection feels right and your wedding date is available, the next steps can begin.

Confirming Availability and Securing Your Date

Once you decide to move forward, the next priority is to ensure your wedding date is open on Mallory’s calendar. Wedding dates can book quickly, so confirming availability early is key to securing your spot.

After confirming the date, the process moves to securing all contracts and financial details. This step formalizes the agreement and protects both parties. The contract outlines the services provided, payment schedules, cancellation policies, and other important terms. Mallory is transparent about pricing and payment plans, making it easy for couples to understand what they are committing to.

Completing this paperwork early allows you to relax knowing your photographer is officially reserved for your wedding day.

Collaborating on Mood and Shot Lists

With the date secured, the creative work begins. Mallory works closely with you to create a mood board and shot list tailored to your wedding. This collaboration ensures the photos reflect your unique style and priorities.

The mood board might include examples of lighting, poses, and locations that inspire you. The shot list covers must-have images, such as family portraits, candid moments, and special details. This list helps Mallory prepare and ensures nothing important is missed on the day.

For example, if you want a romantic sunset portrait or a fun group shot with your bridal party, these details are noted well in advance. This preparation makes the photography flow smoothly and captures the moments that matter most to you.

Final Meeting to Review Timeline and Details

About a month before your wedding, Mallory schedules a final meeting to review the timeline and all day-of details. This meeting is essential for ironing out logistics and answering any last-minute questions.

You’ll go over the schedule for the day, including when and where photos will be taken. Mallory will ask about any special family dynamics, surprises, or moments that need extra attention. This conversation helps avoid surprises and ensures the photography fits seamlessly into your wedding day.

For example, if there’s a quick ceremony followed by a large reception, Mallory will plan how to capture both efficiently. If there are cultural traditions or unique events, these will be discussed to make sure they are documented respectfully and beautifully.

What to Expect on Your Wedding Day

By the time your wedding day arrives, Mallory is fully prepared to capture your story with confidence and care. Thanks to the detailed planning and collaboration, the photography experience feels natural and enjoyable.
