WEDDING INVESTMENT
I am truly honored that you are considering becoming a PYP Bride! Choosing the perfect photographer for your wedding day is one of the most important decisions in wedding planning. As a former bride, I understand how special this day is to you. It’s more than just “a day” and being a PYP Bride is more than just being a client. I call this “The Wedding Experience Journey” because I want our entire time together to be filled with beautiful moments for you and your groom! The PYP Team will work incredibly hard to ensure this happens for you!
Your wedding is a reflection of you, and your photographs should show the authentic moments of love and happiness that you experience on your day. You have spent years dreaming, and possibly months of already planning every detail to make this day perfect. During wedding season, we shoot anywhere from 1 to 3 weddings per month! We are confidentially experienced in the expected and unexpected situations that a wedding day can bring! I, along with my team, will be there to guide you through your day so that you are as worry free as possible; all while we capture the tiny details, the big moments, and the moments you never got to see. Your wedding day will soon become a day in the past and that gorgeous dress will be stored away. Years from now, when you are telling your children and grandchildren about your wedding day, I not only want you to remember how it all looked, I want you to remember how you felt during every smile, every tear, and during every uncontrollable burst of laughter. I want you to be able to pull out your photographs and laugh, and maybe even cry, when you tell a story about each one.
Your Engagement Session
I strongly believe a big part of being able to capture those beautiful, raw moments that tell your story, is for us to spend some time together beforehand; this allows us to gain a level of comfort before your big day. To give us both this opportunity, a complimentary engagement session is included with every wedding collection! This gives us a chance to chat and work together before the busyness of the wedding day arrives! We will use this time to go through basic (and advanced) levels of posing to create connections that will give us the opportunity to have more portraits on your wedding day! This makes portraits on wedding day a BREEZE! Wedding days are so fast paced, with not much time to learn the core posing, so I believe this is KEY to creating the most beautiful wedding day portraits! You will find even more detailed information about your engagement session in your booking proposal!
your booking proposal and investment
To take the next step in becoming a PYP Bride, an in-depth booking proposal will be emailed to you so that you can review your wedding collection, payment options, and learn even more about how our time together works! Essentially, your booking proposal is a detailed digital booking packet! I understand that planning the wedding of your dreams needs to be planned slowly and quite some time in advance, so wedding collections can be made in payment installments. A 25% non-refundable booking retainer is required to secure your wedding date. Retainers are applied towards your wedding collection balance. The remainder of your collection is then set up in installments. Standard installments range from 1-10 monthly payments, depending on how far out your wedding date is. However, I am happy to discuss an installment payment plan that is more convenient for you! Once the 25% retainer to secure your date is complete, we can discuss an option for the balance that works best for you!
Once you complete your proposal, we will officially be a team!
GOODBYE, STRESS! HELLO, FUN!
You will receive several emails from me to kick off this wonderful experience! Including The Wedding Experience Guide, Bridal Guide, AND Groom’s Guide! Over 50 pages jam packed with information, engagement session prep, wardrobe styling, preferred vendor lists, and more! Say goodbye to the what should be the most stressful parts of planning your big day! Girl, I have your back! OH…I almost forgot the best part…we will work together to create a timeline that will plan the day just how you’ve always imagined! After we have a chat, and you fill out a questionnaire, I will create a timeline that practically plans out your wedding day! From start to finish, for both you AND your squad! And of course, you can make changes to the timeline as you wish! So not only do you get beautiful images with PYP, you also get a wardrobe stylist, timeline maker, and day of coordinator; not to mention a TEAM full of wedding experts to give you all the inside scoops that you need! While I spend most of wedding day with you, the Bride- we also have an associate photographer who specializes in working just with your Groom Squad! So that both YOU AND YOUR GROOM get the undivided wedding day attention that you both deserve! You will find all of this and more in your Wedding Guide after booking!

REQUEST YOUR BOOKING PROPOSAL!
Wedding dates fill up quickly! To take the next step in The Wedding Experience, request your booking proposal HERE! Once you receive your booking proposal, your date will be “held” during the proposals active period, so that you will have time to read even more in depth of the whole experience!
Holding date during active period & proposal expiration: Your proposal holds your date to give you time to review wedding collections. There is no obligation to book by requesting a proposal, because they do expire after a couple days! After expiration, the held date is released and moves forward to the next inquiry. When that one expires, it moves on to the next inquiry, and so on… Therefore, once your proposal expires, the date may not be available by the time it circles back around! To secure your date, you will want to complete the proposal before it’s expiration!
NOTE: PYP BOOKS WEDDINGS BY QUANTITY AT A FIRST COME BASIS. PYP DOES NOT BOOK OUT EVERY SATURDAY; SO ONCE THE MONTH IS MAXED OUT IN QUANTITY, THAT MONTH NOW BECOMES UNAVAILABLE.
I would love to begin this journey with you!
