After this consult, if we're a good fit and you wish to have me photograph your event, I will then send over a contract, invoice and questionnaire. A non-refundable deposit is due at the time of booking to secure your wedding date.

03 | engagement photos


Engagement photos are more than fun snapshots; they’re one of the first mile markers in your wedding planning journey. This fun, low-stress photo session is like a wedding-day dry run. You’ll learn to perfect all sorts of flattering poses while capturing save-the-date and wedding-website content in the process. Plus, engagement sessions kick off one of your most important wedding-vendor relationships.

Engagement sessions are 1.5-2 hours long and include 2-3 outfit changes.

04 | timeline creation & review


I'm here to help! Planning a wedding is stressful enough without having to worry about creating a timeline. As part of the wedding photography experience with me, I offer my couples a complimentary, custom curated wedding day photography timeline. Prior to your big day, we will finalize the timeline and share it with the vendor team to ensure that your day runs smoothly.

I have worked with many vendors, so if you need recommendations, let me know.

05 | the wedding day


This is the part where you relax and enjoy the day. Trust your vendors, including myself, to do our jobs. We will work together as a team to make sure your day runs smoothly.

I will engage with you, your family and friends to capture your most precious, intimate moments together. I use a mix of both candid and styled photos to tell the complete story of your day.

“The moment I met Mandi I knew she would be the one to capture ALL the magic on my special day. Working with her has been a dream. We had several meetings leading up to my wedding day that made me feel my dreams would be captured and made a reality. Memories I will cherish for a lifetime. She gave great direction and heard any concerns I had. Photo was one aspect of planning a wedding I did not stress about at all because of Mandi. I can not wait to work with her in the future.”
