Step 1 - let’s save your date

After inquiring, we will talk about your vision, secure your date with a deposit and a signed contract! Once it’s officially official, we will hit the ground running and you may or may not receive a sweet little treat!

Step 2 - Let’s be friends

As your wedding photographer, I am with you from the moment you inquire until after the wedding (and hopefully for many years after)! I want to provide not only a memorable experience for my clients, but truly create a legacy for you all. I cannot do this without getting to know you!

Step 3 - Let’s start planning

Time to hit the ground running! We will schedule your sessions if they are included in your collection, create a custom timeline for your wedding and more to make sure wedding day is free of stress! Sessions are a great way to play in front of the camera, go on an adventure together to create new memories and give me a look into your relationship at a deeper level!

Step 4 - Let’s get married

The day you have been waiting for! Wedding day is full of moments you do not want to forget with your favorite people surrounding you! It’s time to sit back, relax, trust your vendors you have hired & party because before you know it, you are walking through your exit! No matter the weather, both indoors and out, in bright light or at night, it’s the best day of your lives so let’s prove it!

Step 5 - Let’s relive it

Once your wedding day has come and gone, your images will be edited & delivered with natural, true to color style! Delivered through an online gallery, it’s easy to use wherever you are and an excellent way to share with family & friends who are just as eager to relive it with you!

Step 6 - Let’s let it last forever

If your wedding collection included an album, we will start designing your album as soon as you receive your online gallery. Together, we will create your wedding album with your favorite images, your choice of album cover and several other options to make it unique if you wish. After approving the design, your custom album will be printed & delivered to enjoy for many years to come!

 
 

 

Wedding & Elopement FAQ


What is your ideal couple?

I believe in working with couples that appreciate my style, vision & creativity and truly prioritize photography for their special occasions.

 

Describe your style?

Magnetic, natural and creatively unthinkable. I'm not saying you have to hike a mountain or jump into the ocean in your wedding dress (although it's proven to be pretty amazing). All I'm asking is to let me be the go-getter photographer that inspires people to save your picture on Pinterest & not the other way around. Let's jump in puddles, give eskimo kisses, hike to a view or simply take a stroll downtown. Whatever you envision, let's make it a reality.

 

Do you travel?

YES!! I specialize in destination weddings and have been to some truly incredible places (pst pst, my favorite is Cabo San Lucas, MX). But YES! I offer special deals on destination weddings, elopements & sessions. And if you're thinking anywhere near the Mediterranean Sea, there's no question if I'm coming with you.

 

How long is the turnaround on our pictures?

Depending on the wedding coverage provided, an average wedding day takes at least 2-3 months to edit & deliver. For portrait collections, turnaround time is roughly 15-30 days (both weddings & session turnaround times depend on the season).

 

How much does your average client spend on a wedding collection?

The average ABP client spends around $4,300.00. This package includes a second photographer. Even though I am able & like to photograph weddings by myself, I strongly encourage all clients to consider having on a second photographer hired by ABP to their package to give them a second perspective of their wedding. See below for more information about a second photographer.

 

How many images will we receive?

Average wedding day with 1 photographer can result in at least 500 images at the minimum depending on the time frame. If interested in hiring 2 photographers through ABP, the image count will increase. Image count with portrait collections vary per session.

 

How do we receive the images?

Each wedding is placed on a custom USB drive and delivered via person or postal mail. Portrait sessions are downloadable via a link sent by email.

 

Can we print the images ourselves or post them on social media?

Yes, you are allowed to print as many images as you want & share them on any social media. However, this does not mean you may edit, add filters or enter the images for contests in any way without the photographer's permission.

 

I love your work, how do I book you?

UM… YES!! To book a portrait collection or wedding, please feel free to contact me via the contact form or via my cell phone to ensure we get you on the calendar! Dates fill up fast so it's better to have a tentative date and play it by ear than have nothing scheduled at all. If you are a bride (or researching photographers for one), I say we grab a cup of coffee or beverage of your choice in person to go over your thoughts as to wedding details, see if our personalities match well, save your date with a deposit, go over contracts and ultimately get to know each other.

 

Do you offer a second photographer & if so, who?

Yes, I absolutely LOVE working with second photographers! I think it's a very wise investment to have a second photographer if you’re interested. I have several trusted second photographers I work with for each and every wedding that is interested in hiring a second photographer through Anna Bowser Photography.
