The Indigo Stories Experience
The Client Journey
Initial Connection
When you inquire, we'll schedule a personal call to:
- Determine if we're the right fit for each other
- Explore package options tailored specifically to your needs
- Discuss your vision and photography preferences
I don't believe in generic, one-size-fits-all experiences. I want to understand what images will truly resonate with you and create a customized approach.
Building Our Relationship
After securing your date with a contract and invoice:
- We'll exchange inspiration and ideas
- Discuss how to make your wedding events feel intimate and special
- Set up a meeting to deepen our connection
My Shooting Process
Before the Wedding Event
I arrive early to capture the atmosphere and details that set the stage for your day. While documenting the getting-ready process, I work unobtrusively, allowing natural moments to unfold. Rather than rigidly posing every shot, I offer gentle direction that brings out authentic expressions and interactions.
My stills are often "moving". I do not expect you to be as still and static as a statue.
For couple and group portraits, I find the perfect balance between direction and spontaneity. I'll guide you into natural positions and then give you space to interact genuinely. My approach is conversational and relaxed, creating an environment where you feel comfortable being yourselves.
Reception and Celebrations
As the celebration continues, I blend into the background while remaining alert to meaningful interactions. I anticipate moments before they happen, positioning myself to capture the joyful chaos of the dance floor, the heartfelt speeches, and the quiet moments you share with loved ones.
My Post-Production Approach
Thoughtful Selection
After your wedding, I carefully review every image, selecting those that best tell your story. I look beyond technical perfection to find the frames that carry emotional weight and narrative significance.
Artistic Editing
Each selected image receives individualized attention in my editing process. I enhance the natural qualities of the photo while maintaining consistency across your collection. My editing style emphasizes:
- Colors that feel lived-in rather than digital, creating cinematic nostalgia in your photos
- As opposed to "light and airy", I find beauty in the dance between shadow and light. I embrace the shadows with a delicate balance.
Personalized Delivery
Your final collection is delivered in a custom online gallery where you can easily view, download, and share your images. I also provide guidance on printing options and album design to ensure your photographs are preserved in tangible form, not just digital files.
Ongoing Relationship
My commitment to your images doesn't end with delivery. I remain available to answer questions about your photographs and assist with any future printing or album needs you might have.

Second Photographer
I'll help assess whether a second photographer would enhance coverage of your special day. For some weddings—particularly those with larger guest counts, multiple locations, or when the couple is getting ready separately—a second photographer can capture additional moments and perspectives. During our planning conversations, I'll offer honest guidance based on your unique wedding vision and logistics, but the decision will always remain entirely yours. My priority is creating the photography experience that best serves your specific celebration.
Day-After Coverage
Yesterday was packed with activities and moved very fast. Today is calmer. This shoot is just for you two. You're married and high off the excitement of yesterday. Let's document this unique feeling in a half or full-day shoot.
