Lori & GeneXoxo,

Thank you for considering us to share in your big day! We can't wait to meet you!

Welcome to our studio, and thank you for considering us to be a part of your wedding! We are a husband-and-wife team based out of Atlanta, and we are newlyweds ourselves! We know the process of planning a wedding is both ex-citing and daunting. There are so many vendors to choose from, and all offer different products and packages. One of the most important pieces of advice we can offer - is to choose a photographer you are comfortable with! Out of any other vendor at your wedding, your photographer is the person who will spend the most time with you. He or she will be thespend the most time with you. He or she will be there while you're getting ready and will capture your first intimate moments as husband and wife!

So who are we? We are fun, relaxed, down-to-earth everyday people who have a passion for photography and image creation. We are Christians and parents to 2 boys and a girl... and one very spoiled white boxer! Our goal is to serve every person that comes through our doors with the best photography and customer service experience possible. We want you to feel comfortable

and fully satisfied during every step of the process.

WWe love weddings because of the relationships we establish with our clients. At a minimum, we'll be in your lives typically for 12-18 months from booking to engagement session to wedding to image selection to album design and product delivery. Beyond that, many of our clients turn into dear friends, and return for maternity, newborn, baby, and family sessions. It's always a joy to watch our clients' families grow - and an honor being able to document their

milestones.

Hello!

almost all weddings.

Visit us to discuss your budget and to bVisit us to discuss your budget and to browse portfolios of our previous weddings. Review our packages, and don’t be a fraid to ask us ques-tions.

flexible, no interest payment plans!

We will discuss the specific photographs you want included. This is especially important for family group portraits. We need to know what placement will be made in family photos and

when there are divorced members present. Also if anyone has any special needs or restrictions, let

You and your fiance may decide to see each other before the ceremony for a "first look". This allows us to get your bride/groom portraits done so you can quickly move onto your reception when the cere-mony is over. Seeing each other before the wedding is a personal decision, but keep in mind these points:

-Allows you and your fiance to have a special moment together in private before the ceremony.

-Allows more time for bride/groom portraits.

-If it-If it's a hot summer day, your makeup will need additional touch up time before the ceremony. Keep in mind the guys are wearing layers of cloth-ing. The additional time outdoors for photos can be brutal on them!

-Everyone will have to be ready earlier. If small children or elderly are in photos, the earlier time frame is often more tiring, so any photos including them should be done after the ceremony.

We recommend doing first look photos for ceremo-nies starting after 5pm in the winter. If you choose to do a first look, we recommend our photography begin 4 hours before the wedding instead of 3.

FIRST LOOK OR NOT?The day of your wedding we will arrive well before

your guests, prepared to capture perfect memories of your special moment in time. We’ll talk to guests,

and take some impromptu images of the ppre-ceremony activities prior to the ceremony and

reception. Your special day will be preserved in all its beauty.

Upon arrival, we will meet with you for ppre-ceremony photos, such as bridal preparations and wedding ensemble shots. Brides should have hair and makeup completed but should not be

dressed. Please have your dress, veil, shoes, garter, jewelry, and any other items out and ready to be

photographed. Please remove all tags ahead of time and have scissors handy just in case. We will take the wedding pawedding party photographs according to the plans and arrangements we made together with you. In addition to the wedding party, photographs will be taken of family members and extended family.

Remember to notify everyone of the time we have selected for family photos.

Do you require a retainer to book our date? Yes, we require a signed contract and retainer which will depend on the package you choose. Typically the retainer is $1,000 - $1,500 and the balance is due 1 week before the wedding date. We do offer flexible no interest payment terms depending on your situation - just ask and we’ll do our best to work with you!

We are certain that we want to book you, but what if we haven’t decided on the package? YYou may choose a smaller package to lock in your date because we photograph only 1 wedding per day. When you decide on a package, you may always upgrade later.

What forms of payment do you accept? Cash, check, or credit cards. If you are paying by credit card, we offer an easy to use online link to a secure payment site.

What happens if we go over the contracted amount of time?WWe understand that not everything goes as planned during a wedding. We never pack up before the contracted time; and moreover we’re not leaving on the dot when the contracted time is up. Instead, we will ask you toward the end of your contracted time whether or not you would like us to stay. If you would like us to stay, we will charge the rates specified in your contract rounded to the closest 30 minute increment.

When can we expect to see our photos from our engagement session? From our wedding?PPost production for engagement sessions is completed within 4 weeks after the date of the session. Weddings are completed within 6 weeks from the date of the wedding. If you require the images to be completed earlier than 4 weeks after the date of the engagement session for your save the date cards, a rush-process fee of $150.00 will be charged.

How many images do you typically deliver from an engagement session? From a wedding?WWe typically deliver anywhere from 50-75 images per engagement session, and for weddings we typically deliver 100 finished images per hour. We will photograph far more than this amount, but we believe in delivering only the best images without overwhelming you with thousands of images.

When happens after my wedding?WWe will usually post a few sneak peek photos on our Facebook page within a few days of your wedding. Approxi-mately 6 weeks after your wedding, your images will be posted to your personal, private online gallery for family and friends to view and order photos. Pictures will be professionally edited and color corrected with some offered in black & white. When your online gallery expires at 3 months, your CD will be ready. You will receive a signed release for personal printing rights for all of the photos on the CD.

We hope this guide has answered your questions and prepared you for chosing a wedding photographer. If you have any questions,
