I take on no more than twelve weddings each year in order to ensure that I am able to truly get to know my couples and provide the highest level of personal service and support to you throughout the planning process.
My attention to detail, backed by a solid workflow - developed over the course of twelve years capturing well over 100 weddings - makes me an able guide who will support you and help make your wedding preparations seamless without letting stress or confusion creep in.
When your wedding weekend arrives, I'll be by your side through it all as a warm and reassuring presence. That allows you to be fully present and vulnerable for every sweet moment and allows me capture who you really are - your most honest and unguarded selves.
The result is an artfully crafted gallery of photographs that not only tell the story of your celebration but also evokes the love and joy you felt all weekend long.
Can you hold the date for us?
Dates are reserved with the signing of the contact and payment of the booking fee. However, if we have met and you're still in the process of making a decision, I will never give your date away without reaching back out to give you 24 hours to decide before I give the date away to another couple.
All payments can be made right online with a credit card or I'm happy to accept a check as well.
I have general liability insurance and equipment insurance and I’m happy to provide proof of insurance to your venue if needed.
I currently do not charge travel fees for New England or upstate NY weddings. I’m more than happy to venture beyond New England as well, and in that case I do charge a travel fee that is adjusted on a case-by-case basis and allows me to cover the cost of my journey as necessary to best capture your wedding.
Do you work with a second photographer?
Always. I believe that the real love story is often found in the small moments and the moments in between. Having a second photographer with me for the day allows me to get two perspectives in the big moments, as well as capture more of the small moments that tell your full love story.
We'll work together prior to your wedding to create a rain plan for all of your formal portraits. We'll find an alternative you love and the most important part is knowing we have a plan in place, even if we don't need to use it!
How long does it take to Receive our photos?
Your photos will be ready for you 6-8 weeks after your wedding date. I’ll post a preview for you within 48 hours of your wedding though, so you won’t have to wait 6 weeks to see how gorgeous you looked on your wedding day!
When I get home from your wedding I upload all of the images on an external hard drive and back them up onto the cloud. When your images are ready, the final edits are uploaded into an online gallery that serves as a third backup.
Generally, you'll receive between 75-100 images per hour of coverage. Every photo you receive is edited to ensure the highest quality finished product.
As the artist who created the images, I retain the copyright. However, all digital products include personal printing rights. That means you're welcome to share them digitally and in print.
"Lynne was an absolute joy to work with! Not only did she deliver truly impeccable quality photos, but she also took the time in the months leading up to our wedding to really get to know us and determine the core spirit of what we wanted from our wedding weekend - and this thoughtful consideration of what was most important to us really shines through in the photographs."
She was thoughtful, artistic, and genuine every step of the way. From the very start, she was kind and prompt with all communications... By the time the weekend came around, we were excited to spend more time with her. The photos that she created are gorgeous and everyone in my family and bridal party were blown away because she captured the weekend flawlessly.
The minute I spoke with Lynne on the phone I knew she was the photographer for us. She truly is a dream to work with. Her calmness and kind heart really helped in moments of stress the day of. She captured our day beautifully. Her work has a light and airy feeling. We are both so so happy with our wedding photos.
About ten weeks after your wedding, you'll get to relive your wedding day in an online gallery brimming with memories. And we'll design your heirloom wedding album so that the weekend can be enjoyed for generations to come.
You'll celebrate all weekend long as you welcome loved ones, say your vows, hug your family, dance, laugh, cry happy tears, and have the best time. I'll be there to capture it all. Then, within 72 hours, you'll have a few sneak peeks to enjoy as you head off on your honeymoon.
A week or two before your wedding, we'll have a final preparatory conversation. It's a quick touch-point to make sure you know that I'll be exactly where I need to be to capture every emotion and special moment.
Three months before your wedding I'll send along a questionnaire to help you plan your family portrait combinations. I'll print the list and bring it with me so that you won't worry about them on your wedding day and can focus on hugging your family members instead!
Throughout the planning process, I'll send along tips and things to consider that will help you feel confident that your wedding day will be seamless and that your photographs look timeless and effortless. You'll also receive my newsletter with additional inspiration every couple of weeks.
I'll schedule a call several months before your wedding to talk through your day-of timeline. We'll ensure you have the time you need for the candid and posed photos you're dreaming of, as well as that things will flow smoothly so you can relax and be fully present.
We'll pick a locale that's both beautiful and meaningful to the two of you. I'll provide a style guide and outfit inspiration and then we'll create photo magic together to honor your engagement. It will be relaxing and fun and I'll guide you every step of the way to make sure the results are stunning photos that truly reflect your unique love.
You'll reserve your date by electronically accepting the quote, signing the contract, and paying the booking fee. Next, you'll receive a welcome email with next steps in our planning process, along with a copy of my wedding magazine, full of planning tips and advice just for my sweet couples.
We'll get to know each other on a video call. We'll talk about your love story and wedding weekend and I'll answer your questions. You'll ensure I'm the right fit to tell your love story as it deserves to be told. Then I'll follow up with a custom proposal based on our conversation and what matters most to you.
