WHAT TO

EXPECT

My desire is to capture your wedding day as it happens, not to take control and manipulate the day. When there are moments that I need to help and give direction, I am comfortable with that too.

Before the wedding day, we’ll decide when you want to do the photosessions. Some people like to take the bride and bridesmaids photos before the ceremony;; this gives us plenty of time to take photos of the bride & groom, family, and the rest of the wedding party between of the bride & groom, family, and the rest of the wedding party between the ceremony and reception. We’ll make sure to pin down the schedule before the big day, that way it all goes as smoothly as possible.

Once we get to the reception (on time, I should add), I’ll make sure to get photos of your guests, candid moments of you interacting with each other, and all the fun moments that happen at receptions.

Before I leave, I’ll find you and make sure you are readyfor me to take off. I never leave without giving you a 10-­minutefor me to take off. I never leave without giving you a 10-­minuteheads-­up. There have been a few occasions where a bride decided to keep me for another hour. I’m perfectly fine with that spontaneity.

Previews will be popping up on Facebook within a few days because waiting to see your photos is the hardest part. I’ve been there! It will take me 3-­5 weeks to finish allthe editing and the photos will be deliveredon your own private online gallery.

your photos on a few difference thumbdrives, cd’s, or devices. your photos on a few difference thumbdrives, cd’s, or devices.

How many hours do you suggest we set aside for the wedding day sessions?

A lot of this depends on the time of day, but these times are usually ideal (we can adjust to fit your schedule):

Bride and Bridesmaids – 20 minutes

Groom and Groomsmen – 10 minutes

Wedding Party – 20 minutes

Bride and Groom session – 30 minutes

Family Formals– 30 minutesFamily Formals– 30 minutes

(This time depends on how large your family is and how many of your extended family you want in your formal

photos). Have a list of pictures that you want with your family/friends right after the ceremony. It would be helpful to

have one organized (and loud) person from each side of the family to help move people in and out of photos.

HERE’S A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT ASHLEEfrom Ashlee Kay Photography

First of all, congratulations on starting a life with your better half! It’s atrue honor to be considered for your big day! In the years to come when you look back on your life, you’ll have a good and long list of the most importantdays of your life. Your wedding will be one of those! I want to

capture those moments, so you can remember them just as perfectly as they’ll be.

Here are a few things you might want to know about me:

1. I try to smile as much in real life as I do in my emails and posts! I don't wink nearly as much though (Because that would be creepy)!

2. I LOVE painting, but I'm awful at it. I'm looking up at a failed 'flower' painting right now. It's bad. Ha! I'll repaint over it and hope my next attempt works better!

3. My husband REALLY wants me to like coffee. I think it's growing on me! I swore I'd never drink it by choice, and here I am... wanting coffee.

4. I have two beautiful daughters and an amazing husband. I'm thankful for them everyday! Seriously. How'd a girl get so lucky?!

5. I’ve been married since 2010, and I can honestly say marriage is the funnest thing I’ve ever done. Of course it comes with its set of obstacles along the wa5. I’ve been married since 2010, and I can honestly say marriage is the funnest thing I’ve ever done. Of course it comes with its set of obstacles along the way, but

when I look at it as a whole... IT’S FUN.
