A little bit about Captured by Jami and her inspiration:
Jami is a born and raised Alaskan, youngest of three, and an absolute Disney fanatic. She is married to a wonderful man named Bridger, and they have one spoiled rotten excuse for a dog named Copper. Her favorite thing about photography is sharing in the excitement of life changing moments, she find so much joy in helping people preserve those memories for a lifetime. Jami believes an image has the ability to transport you back to the past, it has the power to bring back the emotions you felt, and to keep the things and people you love safe.
We’re engaged! Now what?
Once you’re ready to start the planning process, take a second and make a list of your top 3-5 things that’s your want to incorporate at your wedding, then compare and meld your lists. Once you’ve got your list, reach out to your top vendors to see what date they have available. This way you make sure you and your fiancé are on the same page and you can check off your most important factors first.
When Should our brides book their photographer?
I’ve booked weddings as far as 18 months in advance to just one month. My advice is, reach out as soon as you have a date! Weekends fill up fast and far in advance. There is nothing worse then having turn someone away because you’re already booked.
Let’s talk pricing
My peak season wedding packages begin at $2475 and I offer custom packages for intimate weddings and elopements.
Favorite Wedding Tradition
First Dance. I cry every time and they will never get old.
Wedding Tradition you could live without
Bouquet/Garter Toss. There is often times a very small number of people who join in and it really puts your guests on the spot.
“Bateau Tip: Not doing a garter toss? That’s okay!
A garter can be something special between you and your husband and makes a great wedding keepsake! ”
Final Thoughts
Make sure to meet with your vendors before booking. You want to make sure that they are 1. Professional and 2. The right fit for you. Using experienced professionals means you’ll have access to their knowledge and you will benefit from their expertise. Having a team that you trust is the only way you’ll be able to relax and enjoy.
