What’s Included In My Wedding Gallery?
From the beginning of the coverage to the end, my focus is to capture all your moments. I organize your gallery into specific events that happened that day and I focus on making your gallery as easy to operate as possible. Below is a list of general categories included in every wedding day album (except for any taken out if requested by the wedding couple) and lists of common photographs for each section of the album. Keep in mind that this is strictly a sample photo list from a general wedding gallery that I return. Requests to add specific poses/photographs and remove photographs are always accepted and are unique to your specific wedding. The purpose of this list is to give you a general idea of all the categories and photographs I keep in mind of on a wedding day.

All these categories and photo lists are subject to a wedding day’s accessibility of these items/events and access to capturing these photos. Every wedding day is different, and requests can always be made to add or remove categories and specific photographs.
