Things to consider on your wedding Day

Please feel free to always communicate your needs, whatever they may be.
Whatever the day brings, I’m here to help make this process as stress-free and welcoming as possible. Above all else, my goal is for you two to enjoy this time together, to feel seen, and to remember what matters most.

Every wedding unfolds differently. Some couples bring flowers and some family & friends. While some keep it just the two of them. Whatever shape yours takes, I’ll adjust with you — weaving together the bigger moments with the small, unscripted ones in between.

The groom is holding a paper and is wearing a light-colored suit with a boutonniere. Two women are visible in the foreground, one with her hair in a high ponytail and the other with her head slightly tilted. They are inside a well-lit room with large windows.

Behind her, a woman in a light blue dress adjusts her hair. To the left, a young woman in a black dress and black cardigan holds a small bag, and a man in glasses and a gray suit stands nearby. Several seated people are visible, including a man in a gray suit and glasses, and a woman in a pink dress. The background shows large glass doors with an ''Emergency Exit Only'' sign.

Check-In
(Ceremony Appointment)

About 10 to15 minutes before your ceremony time, you’ll check in at one of the windows. Here you’ll show your IDs and confirm your details.

This is also when your witness (or witnesses — you can have up to two) will sign the license, if you are having a public marriage.

Afterward, you’ll be asked to wait in the designated area until your officiant comes to great you and let everyone into the chapel.

Being Called In

When it’s your time, the officiant will bring you and your guests to the Wedding Chapel.

First Looks (if you choose one)

A woman in a white dress touches a young man in a military uniform as they walk together in a courthouse or government building.

If time allows, we can fit in a first look before check-in.

This is often one of the rare quiet pockets of the day — before the logistics begin. It doesn’t have to be posed or dramatic; it’s simply a chance to see each other, breathe, and ground yourselves in what the day is really about.

I’ll step back and let the moment be yours, quietly documenting it as it unfolds.

Your Ceremony

The ceremony itself is short and sweet. You’ll even get to walk down the aisle!

The officiant will guide you through every step. All you need to do is slow down: hold hands, look at each other, and let yourselves feel it.

And when it’s time for the kiss — linger just a second longer than you think you should. It feels good in the moment, and (selfishly) it also gives me the perfect chance to capture it..

Family & Group Photos

Right after the ceremony is the best time for family portraits. Everyone’s gathered and emotions are fresh.

We’ll get some at the altar in the chapel and then work our way outside for more portraits with your family and friends.

Your Portrait Time

After some couple’s portraits at the chapel, we’ll work our way outside for the outdoor locations.

We’ll wander together with intention but also space for spontaneity. Don’t worry about posing — just walk, whisper, laugh, lean in.
