The Wedding Experience
Your wedding doesn’t have to be stressful! When you hire us you get more than just wedding photographers. We will be there to help you through the planning stages, plan your timeline and be a listening ear when you just need to vent. Once the big day is here we will make sure you look flawless all day, and be the helping hand you didn’t even know you needed. We would love to give you storybook images to fit your love story.
We love to be able to create a high-end experience for our sweet couples on their big day. You spent so much time worrying out the details, now it is time to relax and soak up every minute of your wedding day. We’ve got you! We're experts at keeping your day running smoothly and on time, getting groomsmen to actually smile for photos, and capturing both the classic, timeless images as well as all those amazing in between moments.
AT ALLIE AND BRIAN PHOTOGRAPHY, WE VALUE OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR COUPLES ABOVE ALL ELSE.
Your romance is a fairy tale. Your wedding day should be too.
Our Signature Process
I. The Consultation
You’ve seen us on social media or met us at a friend’s wedding. Now you’ve scoured every square inch of the website and love what you see. That means it is time to set up a consultation! You can send us a message here. We will be in touch shortly to set up a time to meet for coffee or hop on a quick Zoom call. We love the chance to start to get to know our future A&B couples right away. We do only take up to 12 weddings a year and tend to book about a year out, so it is best to reach out as soon as you are engaged or starting the planning process.
II. Engagement Session
Each of our wedding packages includes a complimentary engagement session. We will work with you to find the perfect time so you have pictures ready for your Save the Date cards. This is a fun evening for you and your fiancé to get all dressed up, let loose and just have fun. Capturing fun images with lots of movement and laughing that show off your connection is what the engagement session is all about. We also have noticed it really helps couples feel more comfortable being photographed on their wedding day. You’ve already been in front of our camera and know it is an enjoyable experience.
III. Timeline
This whole wedding planning thing is new (and possibly overwhelming) to you, but not to us! We love to help our A&B brides get their timelines put together for the day and share our expert advice so things don’t get too rushed for you, and we still get in those glowy golden sunset photos. We are here for you through the whole wedding process and will help curate a magical day that is uniquely you. Our brides love to check in and share pictures from dress shopping and ask who the best DJ in town is. Remember the part where Allie said she is wedding obsessed?!
IV. Wedding Day
It’s finally here! You get to recite your vows, say “I do” and dance the night away with family and friends. We will be there from the time your hair and makeup team is finishing up and all the way through the Cha-Cha Slide. We will work with you to make sure we get timeless images, creative images and those photojournalist moments of mom wiping a tear away.
V. Image Delivery
Within 48 hours of your wedding we will have a sneak peek up for you! It is so exciting to relive your day through all the gorgeous images. Then within 6 weeks you will have your full wedding gallery. We give you the rights to print and share the images as you like and we also offer professional printing for those keepsake prints to be treasured for generations to come.

Investment Details
Work with us
Comfortable and fun! Our past clients don’t just rave about their dreamy portraits but also their entire experience. We stay in touch from the very beginning and send out helpful information and are here to answer any questions you have. During your wedding day, we are there for you. We have helped carry decor in, bustled dresses and pinned boutineers. We will help keep you on your timeline and guide you through each part of the day. Having two photographers, we are able to split up to get you the most coverage. Brian usually spends the getting ready time with the guys while Allie is with the bride. We’ve already worked with you beforehand on the timeline, so we have plenty of time for all of the important pictures and made sure to carve out some time when the sun is glowy and dreamy to get those signature A&B pictures for you. We keep taking pictures during the toasts, your first dance as a couple and as the party gets going on the dance floor. Then we check in with you and hug you goodnight so you can keep on partying with your friends! Throughout the day, you can have peace of mind. We are fully licensed, insured and have back up gear for our back up gear.
WHAT WILL OUR EXPERIENCE BE LIKE?
We have learned through our years of experience that eight hours of coverage seems to be the golden amount of coverage. Any less, and we aren’t able to capture all those details you worked so hard on and end up rushed during those dreamy couples portraits. There are some weddings that do need more. For example, traditional Catholic ceremonies can add time or if your ceremony site and reception site are far apart. We are happy to work with each couple on their timeline and let them know what we think the right amount of coverage is for you. We are able to add coverage in hour blocks to your package.
Why Do You Only Have One Package?
Each trip is quoted specifically based on number of days, location and time of year. The quote is inclusive of hotel, airfare and expenses.
how much are travel services?
We typically book weddings at least 9 months ahead, usually 12-18 months before the wedding. Our 2022 wedding calendar is completely booked. We are still accepting limited 2023 dates. We don’t take on more than 12 weddings a year so we can fully give ourselves to each and every couple we have the honor of working with.
HOW FAR OUT ARE YOU BOOKED?
Within 6 weeks of your wedding, you will receive your private online gallery through email. You will have one month to download your images, and get unlimited downloads. This way you can have a copy on your phone and on your computer. You are also able to share with the family and friends of your choosing. After one month, your gallery can be reuploaded for a fee, so please make sure to backup a copy during the first month.
How and When Will I Receive My Gallery?
I will send you a text within the next 24 hours and let you know if we have your date open or not. If we don’t, I will point you in the direction of some other amazing photographers. If we do - yay!- let’s start the celebration. We will either grab a cup of coffee with the two of you, or jump on a quick Zoom call (depends on your location and schedule). This gives us both a chance to get to know each other more and make sure we are the perfect fit. When you are ready to move forward, Brian will send a contract for you to look over and sign. Once that is signed and your retainer is sent over, you are officially an A&B Bride!! Pop some champagne!
What Happens Once I Fill Out Your Inquiry Form?
Danielle & Jarred
Allie and Brian spent over an hour meeting with us to discuss what we had hoped our reception would look like, then customized a package for us that would allow them to capture more bridal party shots, family, and the party itself. They had a crazy quick turnaround and we could not be happier with the photos they got. We were also VERY impressed with their creativity in shots as we asked for some fun, nontraditional ones with the bridal party and we just heard so many great things about their personality and presence on our big day. 10/10 would use them again!
