So Your considering having me as your wedding photographer?! My answer is not only yes, but HECK YESSSS! So grab your diet coke, sit back, and relax. Ive got you boo!
But first things first, introductions…
The Kristi Alyse Wedding Experience
not only will I provide beautiful, meaningful images, i’ll also provide an amazing photographic experience! I understand that you probably AREN'T used to being in front of the camera, but im used to being behind the camera and ive helped lots of couples over the years find their groove and let themselves be seen. When my couples feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, that results in genuine, joyful images!
Here is what some of the many Kristi Alyse brides had to say about their experience...
“Kristi is an amazing photographer! She made our wedding day so amazing! I am so happy with the outcome of our photos, she was very helpful, fun and became part of the wedding and a friend. She takes time to get to know you and what you are envisioning your big day to be, she makes sure to get all your wanted shots and then took so many more that I didn’t even think about that we will cherish. We highly recommend Kristi to capture and shoot any event that you may have, she is a truly gifted and wonderful photographer. - Chrissy L.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-Turn Around Time-
I give every image the time and care it needs and never rush through this processes, but with years of experience photographing weddings, I have become very efficient in processing images! Im thrilled to be able to offer an incredibly fast turn around time of under 1 week for your engagement and formal sessions, and 2-3 weeks for your wedding day images!
-How many images are delivered-
Unlike some other wedding photographers, I don’t limit how many images you will receive. I deliver every image that is worthy of being seen. I will take PLENTY of photos, but part of my job is to curate what you receive. You wont get the 15 photos I take all in a row of you cutting your cake, you don’t need that many! But you will receive every image that I think you will LOVE and that will tell the story story of your day. Engagement and Formal sessions average 75-100 images and 50-75 images per hour of shooting time on the wedding day.
-Payment Schedule-
To officially book your wedding date I require a $150 non-refundable retainer. $300 will be due at the time of your engagement and formal shoots, and the remaining balance is due 1 week before the wedding day. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, check, paypal or venmo. Do you have a product or service that you offer? Let me know, I might be interested in a full or partial trade!
-Post Processing-
All images will have basic post processing done with our signature editing style. This includes basic color and exposure corrections. We don’t believe in editing your photos to the point of being unrecognizable. We think you should remember your wedding day EXACTLY the way it was. Of course we will be happy to edit away a pimple or two that popped up unexpectedly, but extensive cosmetic touch ups are not included, and honestly, aren’t usually necessary because you will be GLOWING!
-Digital Delivery-
After I have processed your images, I will deliver high resolution digital files to you via an emailed link to your online gallery where you can download your images! My clients prefer the digital delivery over waiting for a cd or jump drive to be delivered. You don't have to worry about loosing or damaging a cd, or forgetting to take the thumb drive to your moms house to show her the photos! You can share your link with whoever you want!
-Shooting Style-
My work has been described as being a joyful and intimate spin on fine art wedding photography. Sometimes fine art photography can feel a little stiff, so I like to make sure my photos have personality! I put work in before your shoot to make sure we have the perfect location and that you feel comfortable and prepped for your shoot! This way, you can relax, be yourself, and just enjoy the shoot! Ill send you my posing crash course to teach you what we are going to be doing, review it with you before we start shooting, and take time to get to know you as a couple so I can really capture YOU. And on the wedding day I will take charge and direct when I need to, and at other times throughout your day ill stay out of the way and simply capture things as they unfold!
