MAKE SURE IT'S THE OPENING WITH THE DOUBLE STAIRS IN THE BACK
I WILL BE IN THE HALLWAY PRETENDING TO WAIT TO TAKE A PHOTO OR TAKING "RANDOM PICS". When I see you, you can ask for me to "take a cell phone photo for you" and then you can do it as well! We'll have to play it a little by ear since there isn't enough prep time before entry.
WE DID IT!
Now what?
ONE | Go celebrate! Let all the happiness sink in
TWO | If you have a remaining balance, it is typically due the Monday after your big day
THREE | Galleries are delivered in two -three weeks!
Depending on the wedding season, sneak peeks may be sent out or you will receive the whole gallery all at once!
FOUR | We love to see you share the love!
