Throughout our entire time together, we will be working as planning partners. I have crafted a Wedding Planning Guide exclusively for all my couples to help them along no matter where they are in the wedding planning process. Inside you'll find all kinds of tips, tricks and knowledge to help you dream up all kinds of possibilities and then plan effectively.
Step 03: Utilize your wedding guide
While optional, but strongly encouraged, planning your engagement session is the next step in the process. If you need, I will help you find a location, give you tips on what to wear, and direct you when in front of the camera if needed. This way you can see what it's like to create some bombass portraits of you and your partner before the big day.
Step 02: Engagement Session
Now that you're officially booked (hell yeah!!), I'd love to get to know you and your partner a little more so that I can learn how to best serve you when it comes time for your wedding day and/or engagement session. You can do this by filling out the "Did We Just Become Best Friends" Questionnaire.
step 01: get to know you
thE PROCESS
This is it! You get to marry the love of your life! I want you to be fully present on your wedding day; to feel safe enough to express yourself freely and live in each moment as they unfold throughout the day. I'll unobtrusively follow along to document all the things big and small that you'll be able to look at later on, and feel the same way all over again.
STEP 06: HAVE THE BEST FREAKIN' DAY EVER
Roughly 15 to 45 days prior to your celebration date (dependent upon the type of wedding you've chosen) we will finalize a timeline for your day. It will also be around then that you will decide what time you'd like for your photography coverage to start.
Step 05: timeline finalization
Once you start to get all your planning details in a row, make sure to share what you've decided on with me so I can be fully prepared for your celebration. We can also begin building a timeline for your wedding to get a rough idea of how your day will unfold.
step 04: the details come together
The raw, unedited images are not available for viewing or purchase. This is because they are unfinished art—my editing process is what creates the images you see across my website and my socials.
06. Do you provide raw image files?
When you're previewing your gallery online, yes, they will be watermarked. But when you download them or order prints through your gallery, your images will be watermark-free.
05. Are our digital images watermarked?
During the peak months of June through October, it will take an estimated 1-2 weeks after your wedding before your finished gallery is delivered to your inbox. That being said, I'm just as excited to see your finished images as you are—so you may see them much sooner.
04. How long does it take before we get our photos?
Oh lawd, no. And trust me you don't want every photo I take. Sometimes I manage to take photos of my feet as I swap from one camera body to the next. No, you'll get all the best photos from your day, I promise.
03. Will you deliver every photo you take?
Short answer, most likely. All National Parks and nearly all State Parks require a Special Events Permit to have your ceremony there. Make sure to look at your location's requirements. If you're not sure where to start, let me know and I can help.
02. We're eloping at "x" location—will we need a permit?
If you have booked an engagement session, getting on the schedule sooner rather than later is never a bad thing. Don't wait until 60 days before your celebration to reach out!
01. When should we reach out about scheduling our engagement session?
Have a question about your experience? I've got an answer! And if you don't see your question here, please reach out via email: heythere@donnamariephotoco.com.

If you haven't already, consider making a separate email for all things wedding planning related. This helps keep everything centralized and in order versus potentially getting lost among all the other emails you receive to your typical email address.
TIP #1:
CREATE A WEDDING EMAIL
There's no such thing as a dumb question! I promise. When consulting or working with wedding vendors, don't be afraid to ask lots of questions. We know that this is likely your first time planning a wedding or elopement.
TIP #2:
ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
In order to protect yourselves, as well as establish clear boundaries and expectations between you and your chosen vendors, get everything in writing. This way should something not be quite right or somewhat unclear, getting everything in writing is a solid action plan.
TIP #3:
GET IT IN WRITING.
Take inspiration from Pinterest, Instagram, website, and wedding magazines like Green Wedding Shoes. BUT, be sure to make it your own rather than strive to create a carbon copy of something you've seen someone else do. Your wedding day is about you and your partner, who are unlike any other couple on the planet. Your wedding day should reflect that.
TIP #4:
BE YOURSELVES AND MAKE DECISIONS ON WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU.
Not all of us have a limitless budget like Kim Kardashian. When you set a budget, respect it. At the same time, decide on which vendors are a non-negotiable (e.g., venue, photographer, musician, etc.) if you have your heart set on a certain one.
TIP #5:
RESPECT YOUR BUDGET.
It's true. And as silly as it may sound, it's so important for your wedding day. You've gotta love more than the product or service that a wedding vendor (like a photographer, or MUA) can produce. Make sure that you feel comfortable with them as they will be with you during some pretty important moments on your wedding day.
TIP #6:
YOU NEED TO VIBE WITH YOUR VENDORS.
It's better to have a "just-in-case" plan versus be left high and dry should something world changing happen the day before or day-of your wedding. If you're planning an outdoor wedding or elopement, what's your plan B if it rains? Remember to be flexible. Don't stress, I'll absolutely help you come up with your own contingency plan should you need.
TIP #7:
CREATE A CONTINGENCY PLAN
Many of us have been in the wedding industry for several years and have been a wedding or two in that time. But we're not mind readers. We're here to support you and your wedding day vision to the best of our ability, but we can only do that if we know what you're thinking or planning.
TIP #8:
COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR VENDORS
We can easily get caught up on dreaming big for our weddings because we want it to be a memorable experience for our guests. But, your wedding day is about you, your partner, and the love that you share. Don't treat them badly on your wedding day, of course. But don't try to put on an event with the primary intent of impressing them.
TIP #9:
DON'T TRY TO IMPRESS YOUR GUESTS
An important conversation to have with your partner is what you both expect or feel your vows should look like. Some couples want to write their own vows, others prefer the officiant or celebrant lead them in more traditional vows. Either way, make sure to talk with your partner about how you want your vows to happen.
TIP #10:
DISCUSS VOWS WITH YOUR PARTNER
Depending on when your planning for (I've had couples reach out with as little as 3 weeks to their chosen wedding date), make sure to take your time with wedding planning. It can very easily start to feel overwhelming and like a full time job in itself. And don't forget, I'm here to help you as much as you need along the way.
TIP #11:
TAKE YOUR TIME WITH PLANNING
Whether you're having a "just us" elopement, or bringing along 15 of your best besties, or having a backyard gathering with 50 of your favorite people, this guide is for you. No matter where you are in the planning process, this guide will help you dream, scheme, plan and live out your wedding day.

session
Unless you’re a model, being photographed probably feels a little awkward. I do this for a living and I still always feel a little out of place when I have photos taken every year.
I'm a big fan of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how I work with you to create your portraits. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits - which is why I've found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time.
Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, I've taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding.
If your collection does not include an engagement session, I strongly encourage you to consider adding one! Enjoy these discounted rates if you decide to add one on!

You're likely to experience heightened emotions on your wedding day. This is perfectly normal, and okay. Don't be afraid to let those emotions show in the moment, as you're surrounded by friends, family, and vendors who fully support you. Give yourself extra time through the day so that you can be present in each moment, emotions and all.
TIP #1:
REMEMBER TO BREATHE
Before you get yourself ready to either walk down the aisle, or start your mountain top vow reading, take a second to pop your engagement ring over to your right hand. This way when your partner places your wedding band on your finger, you don't have to worry about moving it mid-exchange and potentially dropping it.
TIP #2:
POP YOUR ENGAGEMENT RING TO YOUR RIGHT HAND
If you didn't at least chuckle, I'm sorry. If you're carrying a bouquet on your ceremony day, remember this little rhyme. It will help you with the placement for your flowers. This way you're not carrying them right under your chin (which happens often due to nervousness). Leading to photos that look a little less than natural.
TIP #3:
PUBES NOT BEWBS
If you're wearing a dress on your wedding day, it may be easier for you to use the restroom while facing the back of the toilet--saving your dress from taking a particularly gross dip. Alternatively, if you have a friend that you're comfortable with, they could hold the dress for you.
TIP #4:
USING THE RESTROOM IN A DRESS
This emergency kit can literally save the day should something unexpected happen. Here's an example of what your emergency kit could contain:
TIP #5:
DON'T FORGET THE EMERGENCY KIT
- feminine products
- deodorant
- aspirin/Tylenol
- antiacids
- first aid kit
- sewing kit
- bobby pins
- double sided tape
- tide pen
- super glue
- nail file
- lint roller
- contact lenses
- small snack
- small mirror
Hide them in your bouquet, your pockets, or your dress, just make sure to have tissues or a handkerchief with you for your ceremony. You may think you're not gonna cry, but better to have them than not have them.
TIP #6:
BRING TISSUES WITH YOU TO THE CEREMONY
Take the time to be fully present in each moment throughout your day. This is a major life event, so you should take the time to really soak it all in. From the easy morning you planned, to the way your wedding attire feels on you, to stargazing together after the reception you deserve to make the most of your wedding day.
TIP #7:
ENJOY EACH MOMENT
Detail photos make a gorgeous way to remember all the small little things that went into your special day. Here is a small list of things to remember to bring and set aside for me to photograph to capture some of the fine details of your day.
Veil // Hair accessories // Dress Hanger // Shoes // Rings + Ring Boxes // Perfume // Jewelry // Invitation Suite (with envelopes) // Any other stationary // Vows or Vow Book // Some clippings from florist // Any sentimental pieces
