THE CLIENT PROMPT >>
1. A CHAT: Communication is the foundation of our process. For this specific commission, the bride envisioned a cinematic, 1980s Hong Kong-inspired elopement. Together, we curated a series of New York locations to bring that specific noir-inspired reality to life.
2. A TAILORED NARRATIVE: We thrive on collaboration. Our goal is to translate who you are and what you love into photographs that tell your story with authenticity.
THE SHOOT >>
1. MAKE IT FUN: We are all about keeping things relaxed and enjoyable. We bring your shot list to keep things on track, but we are also totally flexible.
AFTER THE SESSION >>
1. BACKING IT UP: We back everything up to the cloud and an external hard drive. We label all the cards and hold onto them until your gallery is ready.
2. EDITING SELECTS: We go through the shots looking for the good stuff, the real moments — the laughter, the connections, the little details that tell your story. We edit and meticulously post-process for a polished, cohesive look.
3. DELIVERY: Once the gallery is ready, we will email you a shareable link to all the images. Yes, you get every single image from the shoot! Savor those jpegs, share them on social, and then you can take your time to pick your favorites to adorn the walls of your home. Trust us, you are gonna want to print and frame these.
