We Connect<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

First, let\u2019s set up a time to chat over the phone, or you can visit JAR Photo Studio<\/a>. Your wedding day is a really big deal, and we appreciate the opportunity to get to know you before we show up to photograph it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can discuss custom packages for your wedding and answer any questions you may have. If we are feeling great, we’ll send over a contract for your review.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Booking Your Date<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Our contract is available online and you, your partner and myself will all sign it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After we\u2019ve signed, you will receive an invoice to pay your retainer ($1,000 unless otherwise agreed).\u00a0The retainer reserves your date and is\u00a0non-refundable<\/strong>.\u00a0You can pay with credit card or bank account using an online payment portal, or mail a check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the contract is signed and retainer paid, your date is officially booked!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Final Steps<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

30 days before your wedding, we’ll finalize your photography coverage and you’ll receive your final invoice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll also send a Questionnaire for you to provide addresses, start times, family photo list and vendor information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can meet or chat on the phone to go over any last details, or you can keep me updated via email. Whatever works best for you and your wedding!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Your Wedding Day<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

As your photographer, I will focus on whatever matters most to you throughout the day: couple portraits, photos of details and styling, candid\/documentary and posed bridal party and\/or family photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll talk this over beforehand so that all you need to do on your wedding day is be present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll receive your photos via online gallery within 6 weeks of your wedding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We want to be a part of it all!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We offer discounted studio and portrait sessions for returning clients – let’s form a long term creative partnership.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
