LET'S NARROW YOUR CHOICES

To match you with artists that fit your style and taste, we'll need to learn a little bit more about you. We use the most sophisticated way of matching - a human wedding expert that knows what to ask and can answer any questions. OR you can do it all online!

TALK TO HUMAN DARCY

TYPE TO "DIGITAL" DARCY

Hi, I'm Darcy! I'm a real human, and I get that not everyone wants to or even can talk on the phone on my schedule. So, I've put these questions and answers together into a 6 minute form so we can have that conversation right here. I've had literally thousands of phone calls with couples going through what you are right now! Just a few quick questions here, and I'll know enough about you to match you to the folks here who best fit your vibe. And if you have questions feel free to text or email. I type fast!

Before we get into it, let me just make sure.

Role *

That's so nice of you! What is your name?

Other name

Great! And who is getting married?

I've got your name from the form. What's your partner's first name?

Client name *

Partner1 name *

Partner name *

Thanks! Nice to meet you!

Let's talk about your event a bit.

How long is the event you're planning? *

For something this short I would recommend our 4 hour elopement packages. I know it seems like you're going to be done in a flash, but getting ready, the build-up, ceremony, couple and wedding party and family portraits take time and it all goes by in a flash. Your elopement will be short, but your memories still need to last a lifetime!

A quick ceremony or reception, all happening in one place, usually means a full day 6 hour wedding package. This gives you time for the ceremony, couple and wedding party and family portraits. You'll also have time for EITHER getting ready or the couple's exit. It all happens so quickly, you'll want to make sure you don't miss a moment!

A typical 8-hr full day wedding package covers getting ready, the ceremony, the reception, couple and family portraits, cake, dances, entrances, and couple exit. This timeline gives you room to breathe and not feel rushed while you're making life-long mementos.

A 10-hr extended day wedding package gives you ample time from start to finish including changing locations. You'll have coverage of you getting ready, the ceremony, the reception, couple and family portraits, cake, dances, entrances, and couple exit. This timeline gives you room to breathe and not feel rushed while you're making life-long mementos.

If you're having a traditional Indian wedding or other multi-day event we will need to speak directly, by phone or text. Please fill out the rest of the form for your MAIN event, and I will be in touch personally.

Which image best describes the tone of your event? *

Seems like a classic event. You're going to want someone who can pose you at just the right angle to capture your love AND your very best side for portraits. Fortunately that leaves us a lot of great options!

Some events are just stunning. You need someone that can work with unusual colors and light and movement, to capture raw emotion, like in this photo of NAME + NAME. That gives me some ideas.

Ah, an elegant and natural wedding. It typically involves natural scenery, soft angles and lots of light. You can almost hear the water in the background, like at NAME + NAME's wedding. I know great artists for this.

Here are the services you indicated on the last page. Feel free to change them, otherwise, let's get into some details! I'll factor all this in when selecting your artist, because, like I said, we're all experts in something different here.

And don't worry, you're not deciding or buying anything here. This is just to help me.

Your Lead Photographer is the director of all your photography services. They consider angles, lighting, location, time of day and much more. You get to select your Lead to match your personality and style.

Videography is the ONLY way to capture the sound and motion of the most important day in your life. Unlike a Lead who needs to pose you, or a DJ who emcees your reception, your videographer will mostly stay behind the scenes, letting you be the focal point.

Our Creative Director will assign your videographer based on your specific needs around 8 weeks before your wedding date.

Your DJ is your emcee and music director. They'll play anything you like, but they also consider the age and background of the audience, feel the energy of the room, and work hard to make sure everyone is having a time they'll never forget. Their uplighting also works to make your photos and videos of the reception spectacular and dramatic.

Our Lead wedding photographers offer additional sessions like Engagement or Rehearsal dinner. You can also get a support photographer for additional angles and less rushing. It also opens up an option to get a Photobooth!

Are you considering any of these?

Are any of these important to you?

Engagement Session
2nd (Support) Photographer
Photobooth
Rehearsal Dinner
Extra Hours

If you have something very specific in mind, or there's a large gap in time between ceremony in reception, you can add extra hours to most photo packages. You can do this right up until your big day, but if you know now, that's good for me to know.

A rehearsal dinner session may be worth it if lorem ipsum but you're about to have hundreds of photos of those same people from the next day. Skip unless absolutely necessary.

If you're looking for fun shots of your guests from your reception you can't beat a photobooth. A support photographer can set up and check in on the photobooth periodically.

Consider a 2nd photographer for large events, complicated schedules, or challenging venues. This support photographer will keep a schedule running smoothly and capture alternate angles of once-in-a-lifetime moment. You'll also need a support photographer if you want a photobooth, as they'll help set up and manage that.

Engagement sessions are great to use for Save the Date announcements or for a signed Guestbook at the wedding. They're a great way to meet your photographer before your wedding. If you need your session to be in another city, I can help with that too.

How about additional video services?

Drone
1min Social Media Highlight Reel
5min Highlight Reel
45min Full Day Reel
Photos from Video
Premium Services
Drone Reel
Ceremony Live Streaming

Don't. Just don't. No matter how much you want to pay. You may very well get drone footage, and we won't charge you extra for it, or extra to include it in your highlight. We can't just guarantee drone availability, venue permissions, or weather. So don't plan on it. AT ALL. But you might be pleasantly surprised!

This will be the reel you share most often with friends, co-workers, and others. Short, punchy, captures the magic but doesn't impose, and very easy to share. Find a package that includes this for best pricing.

You can get a completely separate highlight of your wedding. Suitable for when different sides of large families want highlights focused on each side.

Since you're only interested in video, here's everything you need to know to proceed to booking!

DJs have some add-ons available

Separate Location
Additional Uplighting
Extra Hours

While DJ packages can include both Ceremony and Reception, they include one general venue. Unless the event is across 2 different physical addresses, you probably don't need this.

Would you like info on payment schedules, monthly payments, occupational discounts?

Yes!
No thanks

I know people work all sorts of different hours. And since I try to be available on the phone even nights and weekends, I do too! If I do have any questions...

what's not too early to text you?

And what's not too late?

How did you hear about us?

What's their name or referral code?
