Yay—you’ve chosen us (cue happy dance)! We’re beyond thrilled to be a part of your wedding day and can’t wait to start this journey together. Now, let’s make it official!

We’ll send over a custom proposal tailored just for you. Once the contract is signed and the retainer is paid, your date is officially locked in—just like that! From that moment on, you're an official #lauraandrachel couple, and the fun really begins.

Let the planning, dreaming, and conversations commence—we're in this with you every step of the way.

Date Booked!

Now the real fun begins—your engagement session! This is one of our favorite parts of the process because it’s all about celebrating you in this sweet season of life.

Feeling a little nervous or unsure in front of the camera? Don’t worry—nearly all of our couples do, and by the end, they’re laughing, relaxed, and having the best time. We’ll be right there to guide you every step of the way, from sharing our exclusive style guide (hello, outfit confidence!) to helping you choose the perfect location that reflects your vibe as a couple.

It’s also the perfect opportunity to schedule your makeup trial—so you’ll look and feel amazing for photos, and hey, once the shoot is done, you're already dressed up… sounds like the perfect excuse for a date night to us!

The Session

Let’s get organized! One of the things we truly love is creating custom wedding day timelines that prioritize everything you’ve been dreaming of, without making the day feel rushed or stressful.

Our goal? To make sure every meaningful moment is beautifully captured—while still giving you plenty of time to soak it all in and celebrate with the people you love most. Your wedding day shouldn’t revolve around photography; it should revolve around you.

We’ll collaborate with you (and your planner if you have one!) early in the planning process to make sure everything flows smoothly—from first look to golden hour portraits. And if you’re still building your vendor dream team? We’ve got plenty of trusted recommendations we’d love to share.

Timeline

It’s almost here—just one month away from marrying the love of your life! All those final details are falling into place, and we’re here to make sure everything goes smoothly on the big day.

A few weeks before your wedding, we’ll send you our wedding day questionnaire. This is where you’ll share all the final details, like family formal groupings, any last-minute changes, and special notes we should know about. We’ll also remind you of the little things to set aside for us when we arrive—your full invitation suite, rings, jewelry, perfume, shoes, and anything else you want to make sure we capture.

We’ve got it all covered so you can relax and focus on enjoying the moments leading up to your wedding day!

Wedding Prep

The big day is here—everything you’ve been counting down to for months has finally arrived! All the planning, the details, the anticipation—it’s about to come together in the most magical way.

As much as we know you’ll be soaking in every moment, we’re here to make sure everything stays on track. Along with your planner, we’ll help keep things flowing seamlessly so you can focus on enjoying the day—no stress, no worries.

Take a deep breath, savor the little moments, and get ready to say “I Do” to forever. At the end of the day, you’ll be married, and we’ll be right there, celebrating with you!
