Good question! We include complimentary engagement sessions in all of our wedding packages and they cannot be removed to reduce the cost of your package. We truly believe that doing an engagement session before the wedding day is crucial so we can get to know one another better and you can learn how we pose and work! :)

can i take out the engagement session to reduce costs?

faq's

Aww, that is too bad! But we completely understand that everyone has a different situation - heck, even Colby (my husband) was deployed for nearly 75% of our engagement! With that being said, if it just isn't possible to do an engagement session before the wedding day, we'd still love to get to know the two of you via Skype or FaceTime! We've even done week-of engagement sessions so we could hang out! We've even done venue walkthroughs with my couples who were out of state and could only be here for one day. The more chances that we have to get to know one another before your wedding day, the better. 

what if i live out of state?

We use an online gallery delivery system called Cloudspot. It's even mobile friendly! So many of our brides have loved the mobile friendly feature because they love the ease of access to all of their images right there on their phone for when they want to Instagram a photo! It's so handy and easy to use and if you even want, we can make the gallery private so only those you give access to the gallery can view/download the images! You get the fully edited high resolution images in this online gallery and your are able to download them straight to your computer and smart phone! You can even order professional prints through the store, or you're more than welcome to download them and order through a third party. :)

so, what happens when the wedding is over?

faq's

We guarantee to our couples that they will receive their fully edited images in a complete gallery 8-10 weeks from their wedding date. Portrait sessions are delivered by 6-8 weeks after the session. In off-season, this time-frame tends to be much shorter. We always try to get these images to y'all as soon as possible, but these time frames are in place in case of emergencies. :) 

how long do we wait for photos?

faq's

Engagement sessions typically last about an hour and a half and couples typically receive about 100-150 images. For wedding days, I guarantee to deliver 75 fully edited images for each hour that we were shooting on the wedding day. For example, if you hired us for an 8-hour wedding, you would receive at least 600 images. 

how many images do we receive?

faq's

Heck yes! We absolutely love to travel and we have actually been so many places in the United States which has been such a blessing. Coming from a military family, traveling just makes us that much more excited and when we get to photograph a wedding in another state, it just makes us so happy! Destination wedding packages are available as well, so don't hesitate to ask! Also, there are specific locations that we've been dying to photograph so inquire for special rates for those specific locations! 

do you travel?

Aww, you are too sweet! We'd love to hear from you! Head on over to the contact form and be sure to completely fill out each space! Once we receive your inquiry, we will respond within 72 business hours. We can then set up a time to get to know one another (over the phone or FaceTime) and so we can hear more about your wedding day! Once you've decided you're ready to book, we will draft up a contract and send it over. Once we receive the completed contract, we will send an invoice for a 30% non-refundable retainer and once it is paid, you are officially part of the #jessbrides! YAY!!
