THE PROCESS

FROM FIRST MESSAGE TO FINAL GALLERY — HOW EVENT BOOKING WORKS

Guests enjoying Cinco de Mayo party in vibrant attire under tents

01

Step 1: Inquire for Availability

Start by filling out the event inquiry form to share your date, timing, and event details. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, graduation, or small gathering — I’ll review everything to make sure I’m the right fit and available for your celebration.

You’ll hear back from me shortly with next steps, package recommendations, and any questions I may have before we move forward.

02

Step 2: Confirm Coverage + Details

Once I confirm availability, I’ll send over a proposal tailored to your event needs — 1 hour, 2 hours, or more. We’ll finalize the location, start time, and timeline coverage together so nothing important is missed.

This is also where we’ll clarify any travel needs, access info, or special notes you’d like me to know in advance.

    Step 4: Celebrate Your Day

    I’ll arrive early with all necessary lighting equipment and start capturing the energy, connection, and little details that make your event memorable.

    From group photos and decor to candid moments and crowd reactions, I’ll move through your celebration with ease and intention, so you can stay fully present.

    This add-on is available for $150.

    If you’re looking for a full highlight video or edited film, I’d be happy to refer a trusted local videographer.
