Supporting You Every Step of the Way: Our Check-In Process for a Stress-Free Wedding Planning Experience
June 10, 2024
Planning a wedding is an exciting journey filled with anticipation, but it can also bring a whirlwind of decisions and details. AJV believes that every couple deserves a smooth and enjoyable planning experience, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. From the moment you book with us to the final delivery of your cherished wedding photos, our goal is to make you feel understood, supported, and confident as you prepare for your special day.
Our commitment to communication and support helps us capture your love story authentically and beautifully.
Booking: The First Steps
From the moment you decide to book with us, we start building a relationship based on understanding your unique vision and preferences. During our initial consultation, we discuss your wedding day dreams, answer any questions, and outline what you can expect from the AJV experience. We’ll also send you our wedding guide with everything you need to know about the next steps in our journey together.
Engagement Session
Next, we schedule your engagement session! This session is a wonderful opportunity for us to get to know each other better, and for you to become comfortable in front of the camera. We’ll choose a location that reflects your personalities and love story, and the resulting photos can be used for save-the-dates, your wedding website, or simply as a beautiful reminder of this special time in your lives.
Six Months Before the Wedding: Informal Check-In
This is a check in to see how planning is going. By now, you’ve probably chosen all of your wedding day vendors, and are getting pretty excited to finalize the smaller details of the day. If you’d like to meet up for a coffee to tell us all the latest plans, that’s amazing! If not, that’s okay too. We understand that juggling work, school and all of life’s other social events while wedding planning can be challenging. Just know that we are here to answer any questions you may have at this point in your wedding planning journey.
Two Months Before the Wedding: Planning Check-In
As your wedding day approaches, we check in to discuss any updates or changes to your plans. We’ll also send along our wedding day questionnaire, to ensure no family grouping is missed! This is an excellent opportunity for us to capture the timeline, shot list, and any specific requests you may have for your photography. We want to ensure that we’re fully aligned with your vision and prepared to capture all the moments that matter most to you.
One Month Before the Wedding: Final Details Check-In
With one month to go, we have a detailed conversation to finalize your wedding day schedule, confirm locations, and discuss any last-minute changes or additions. This check-in helps us coordinate with other vendors and ensures that we’re all set to capture your day without any surprises. We also review any specific family dynamics or special moments you want us to be aware of, ensuring we capture every meaningful interaction.
The Wedding Day: Full Support
On your wedding day, we’re not just your photographers; we’re your allies in creating a smooth and joyful experience. We arrive early to capture the setting and get acquainted with the venue. Throughout the day, we blend into the background, capturing candid moments while being available for any guidance or support you may need. Our aim is to make you feel comfortable and relaxed, allowing your love to shine through naturally in every photo.
Post-Wedding: Sneak Peeks and Final Gallery
After your wedding, we know you’re excited to relive your special day through our lens. That’s why we provide a sneak peek of some of the most memorable moments within 24 hours of your wedding. We then meticulously edit and curate your full gallery, ensuring every image reflects the beauty and emotion of your day. Once your gallery is ready, we deliver it with a personalized note and offer guidance on selecting prints or creating albums.
The Timeline: Our Journey Together
Our timeline illustrates the journey we take together, from booking to the delivery of your final gallery. Each step is designed to provide you with the support, understanding, and exceptional service you deserve.
Your wedding day is one of the most significant moments of your life, and we’re honored to be a part of it. Our check-in process is more than just a series of steps; it’s a commitment to making your wedding planning experience smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. We’re here to ensure that you feel supported and understood throughout your journey, so you can focus on celebrating your love story.
