Wedding photography is one of the most important investments you will make for your wedding day. It is the one tangible item from your wedding that you will use over and over again. It is the documented start of your family legacy. I would be honored to be apart of such an important moment. In order to serve each of my couples to the best of my ability, I only take on a limited number of weddings per year. This ensures that I can provide each bride & groom with the best possible service and attention that they deserve.
A good fit
I know finding the perfect photographer is one of the biggest decisions you will make on your wedding day. You want someone that will take amazing photos but also someone who will fit right in with you and your loved ones. As important as it is to make sure I am the best photographer for you, I want to be sure that you are a good fit for me as well! A Janelle Jaqueline Bride is full of personality, she is super excited to marry the love of her life and when it comes to the wedding it’s all about the DETAILS! She also values photography and wants to spend time creating wedding day magic not just to post on instagram but to create stunning wall art to decorate their home to enjoy every single day!
If you are in my area let’s grab a coffee and get to know each other a little. If not lets jump on skype and talk it out that way. I want to hear all about how you two met, the proposal and your wedding day plans. I also want to tell you everything I can about the Janelle Jaqueline Photography experience from start to finish. I am going to answer every single one of your questions as well.
Lets Meet
Booking
So you are ready to book me for your wedding day. YAY! This is so exciting. There are just a couple things that are required before I can add you to my calendar. To make it official a 25% deposit and a digitally signed contract are required. The contract will indicate when future payments are due. Once that is done you are officially a Janelle Jaqueline Bride!
The first thing we will do after you book with me is to start planing your ENGAGEMENT SESSION! It is the perfect way for us to get to know each other. It is also really helpful practice for your wedding day. So when we get to you actual wedding day you will be relaxed and comfortable in front of my camera. If you already have an idea in mind for your engagement session that is awesome! I want you to share your vision so we can bring it to life. But if you haven’t quite mapped it out yet that’s fine too. I love to help my clients prep, plan and execute an engagement session that will fit your style.

Time to prep
Shortly after booking with me you will receive your JJP Bridal Guide in the mail. It has a ton of information and tips to help ensure that your engagement session and wedding day are as seamless as possible. We will continue to be in touch through out the planning process. I want to hear all your ideas, see your pinterest boards, and know about all the details so when your wedding day is here we have a solid plan and we can breath easy.
About 30 days before your wedding you will also receive a pre-wedding day questionnaire. Your answers to my questionnaire are also important to help me get organized and be prepared. One of the most important details to me is your wedding day timeline.
Photography is not just another vendor.. I will be involved in every part of your day from start to finish. Although every wedding day is different, ideally I would like to arrive just before your make up makeup artist starts working on your bridal make up. That way I can begin shooting all your lovely details and then flow right into getting the final touches of your glam. Whether you do a first look or decide to wait until you walk down the aisle I will be there to capture every smile and maybe a few tears.

Time to Prep
Shortly after booking with me you will receive a welcome email with a questionnaire for you to fill out with information about your wedding day.

Your answers to my questionnaire are also important to help me get organized and be prepared. One of the most important details to me is your wedding day timeline. No wedding day is complete without one. I want to be involved with you and your planner to help create your timeline for two reasons.
1) To ensure a realistic amount of time and consideration is given to the formal photographic portion of your day.
2) I also want to make sure that the timing of everything matches up with the most ideal natural sunlight.
We will continue to be in touch all the way up until your wedding day making sure we plan everything out thoroughly. I want to hear all your ideas, see your pinterest boards, and also double and triple check all the details so when your wedding day is here we have a solid plan and we can breath easy.

Gallery Reveal Session & Album Design
Hand editing your wedding images can take up to 8 weeks. But I know you are anxious to see (and maybe even share) them. So within a week of your wedding I will send you a couple sneak peaks. So about 2 month after your wedding day we will meet schedule a time to meet, either in person or on zoom, to look over the images from your wedding. During the gallery reveal you will be able to purchase prints, wall art for your home, and even save the dates for your wedding! You will also get to see you
Immediately following the gallery reveal I will send you a link to your online gallery with all of your final, retouched, high-resolution images. You can share the link with your family and friends, post to social media and more! I recommend changing the lock screen on your phone first :) Also, don’t forget! Your gallery comes with unlimited downloads for you and anyone you share the link with, as well as the option for your family and friends to also purchase prints from my professional lab and have them drop-shipped straight to your door.
From there we will jump right into designing a beautiful album for you. You can have your wedding album in your hand within 4 months of your big day if we plan this right.

Friends For Life
Although your wedding day will come and go I love when my clients become more like friends and family. I want to keep in touch and would love to photograph your special moments for the rest of your life.
