Kinda. Approximately 2-4 weeks prior to your wedding we will have an appointment to review timeline and all other details. We will request a specific shot list for family portraits and you may provide any other requests at that time.

The images that don’t make the final cut are either an exact duplicate of a final image or they are not a representation of my work.
