photos and videos?

You'll receive your photos in an online gallery where you can download them at full-resolution and web-size resolution. There’s also a high quality print shop attached to your gallery for easy printing but only if you want to use the service.
For video, I also send over a link to your videos where you can download them at high resolution.

what if we want an engagement shoot

before our wedding date?

Perfect! Some packages come with a complimentary engagement shoot or you can add it on. It's such a great way to get used to being in front of the camera before your wedding day and makes the process so much smoother on your big day cause we get to hang ahead of time. :)

what are the next steps?

Let's hop on a call to hear more about your day, make sure we're a good fit and answer any questions you might have. If you decide to book with Sand and Stone, I'll send over a contract and payment plan. A month or so before your wedding day you'll receive a questionnaire and plan another call to go over all of the details for your day!

I photographed my first wedding when I was 17 which was 13 years ago. (wild!) I've since captured hundreds of weddings and elopements. It's the best job ever!

what if we have photo ideas?

​ Amazing!! I love the creative collaborative process with couples. If you want to, we can start a shared Pinterest board together so we can brainstorm the vibe of your photos and bring those poses and ideas into your day. Any and all ideas are welcome.

or wedding weekends?

Absolutely! There's an add-on section in the Wedding Pricing Guide which lays out hourly 'day-before' coverage but I can also create a custom package depending on how much coverage you need.
