The Bride's Guide to a Birchwood Wedding

Step 1: Friendship!


Step 1: Friendship!




We believe just like marriages, the right person is important when choosing your wedding photographer! We know Birch Brides are very unique and we work hard to find them! We serve a bride that acknowledges that if she wants intimate, beautiful pictures then she needs more than beautiful portraits. She needs an Experience! The first step toward working with us is determining if we are the right match for you! After we get to know you a little online, we can see if we are a great pair. Then, we can move forward with the booking process!

Step Two: Save the Date!

Congratulations! You’re a Birch Bride! Let’s make it official and save your date! Making sure your date is secure can start the planning process. We’ll send you a custom online booking proposal where you can review your contract, and pay your deposit. Then, you’ll officially be a Birchwood Couple! It’s time to get started!!!

Let the fun begin! After you become an official Birchwood Couple, we will schedule your engagement session! No worries if you’re nervous about your portraits being taken! Even if your fiancé “hates having pictures taken” or you feel like you’re not photogenic We will walk you through everything! It is my goal to make you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera so you can be your best self! I will spend enough time with you to get rid of any nervousness or anxiety you may feel. After your engagement session you’ll be featured on our Facebook page, Instagram and our Birchwood blog. We will also send you an online gallery of images to download and share however you wish! There is even an option to print right from your gallery too so we have you covered!

Step Four: Talking Through Timelines

Step Four: Talking Through Timelines



Once we are about 8 weeks out from your big day we will start preparing your wedding day timeline. We love creating custom timelines for our couples to ensure we capture every aspect of your wedding day. We don’t want to miss a thing! You know all those dreamy portraits, fun friend shots, and detail images that look like they are straight out of a magazine?! We work with our Birchwood Couples to plan their day so they can have images like that of their own. Making a photography-friendly wedding is important so we can capture all those images you just love!!

The day is finally here! It is now time for you to enjoy your day and let us do the work! We believe in telling the full story of our couples wedding day so we never shoot less than an 8 hour day. This day is going to go so quickly so we make it a priority to capture traditional shots that every bride needs while also capturing moments in between. The week after your wedding we will post a Blog featuring your wedding day! We like to share our weddings while everyone is still excited instead of keeping our couples waiting.

Step Six: Gallery Delivery


Step Six: Gallery Delivery



After your big day, your blog posts, and some posts on social media you’ll get your full gallery 6 to 8 weeks after your wedding day. I encourage all of my couples to sit down together and get cozy while they look through their images. If your package includes an album, this is where we would start the design of your album.
