Expect a reply within 48 hours. Then, you can schedule a video consultation at your convenience.
This consultation will be used to align the vision of your wedding with our offerings.
The details within your questionnaire will be used to advise any timeline changes,
as well as to refine our artistic vision for your story.
A call will finalize the last details, and
re-center the
focus on you and
your connection.
Your marriage will be documented with a calming presence and a guiding touch, so you can enjoy each moment with peace of mind. Just days after your wedding, you’ll find a sneak peek of your memories, and your final gallery will be sent within 8 weeks.
After the consultation, we will personalize your coverage and send a contract for review. Your date(s) will be officially reserved with your signatures and a submitted service retainer payment.
In preparation for your wedding, you’ll receive a questionnaire. This will be an opportunity to share more about your events, and what you value most about it all.
We’ll create an open channel of communication with your planner to coordinate your vision and timelines – and in the end create an extraordinary experience for you to savor.
How will you work with our planner?
We carefully select the film type based on skin tones, weather and the pace of the day. Typically, your most impactful moments will be documented with film, and digital photography will be used for fast-paced and interactive moments.
How will you incorporate film photography?
Most of our work is here in the DMV area (Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia) and across the East Coast. Akbar lives among the quiet scenery of Leesburg, Virginia.
