The story before the Story You’re not just getting married — you’re creating a feeling, a rhythm, a memory that will live in photographs. This is my way of seeing through your eyes before the first shutter clicks. Answer what calls to you. Skip what doesn’t. Let’s begin. 1. First, the Essentials - Just so I know who’s writing this beautiful story. Your Names / Wedding Date(s) / Planner or Coordinator Name 2. The Essence - Who are you in this moment, together? Who are you in this moment, together? What’s the energy of your day in three words? / A texture, scent, or sound that reminds you of this season of your life: 3. The Pulse - Every wedding has a heartbeat. What’s yours? What do you most want to feel again when you look back at these photos? / Any quiet rituals or loud surprises we should look out for? 4. The Map - Where should I be — and where should I linger? Where you’ll each be getting ready? / First look? Or meet at the altar? / Any moment we should treat like gold? 5. The People - Who matters? Who holds your history? Names of your VIPs (the ones you'd cry not to have in a photo)? / Any family dynamics we should navigate with care? 6. The Details - Not just things — the symbols of this chapter. Anything meaningful to photograph flat (rings, letters, perfume, fabrics)? / Are your clothes art? Tell me about them. / Any design elements you're obsessed with? 7. The Feel - Let’s talk style, not settings. Editorial, intentional, styled Raw, emotional, untamed Dreamy, light-soaked, romantic Bold, shadowy, cinematic Quiet and poetic A little of all of the above 8. The Mood - What does your story look like before it's lived? Drop a link to your Pinterest board, mood folder, or anything that visually inspires you: 9. The Creators - Your dream team I’d love to credit and collaborate with them. Drop names of planners, florists, stylists, designers and artists here: 10. Final Whisper Anything I haven’t asked, but should feel? Thank you. This story is yours — I’m just here to catch it in the light. 🤍
