Your experience is what matters most.
Our responsibilities as your wedding photographer stretch far beyond capturing beautiful images on your wedding day.
Hello! We are so excited you’re here and we can’t wait to talk to you! Our vision for wedding photography combines love, emotion, and artistry together to create stunning visuals that will forever narrate your unique love story. At Zerbe Photography, we understand that your wedding day is a monumental chapter in your life, and we are dedicated to preserving the magic of the day through the lens of our cameras.
Our Style: A Blend of Elegance and Authenticity
Every couple's love story is one-of-a-kind, and we believe that your wedding photography should reflect that uniqueness. Our approach is to blend timeless elegance with genuine authenticity, ensuring that every photograph captures not just the events, but the genuine emotions, connections, and moments that make your day special.
Let's take a look below at the overall process of working with us!
Booking and Planning:
Upon inquiry, we'll set up a time for us to sit down via Zoom, phone or in-person for a free consultation. During the consultation, we want to learn more about your wedding day vision. We'll talk about your venue choice, color choices, special themes, fun sendoffs and much more! Every wedding is different and unique--there is a rhythm to discover and a flow to follow. Once we learn about your wedding day, we will dive deep into our services and packages. Our service is built to give you a phenomenal and enjoyable experience that you can look back on fondly for years to come. Once you have decided to book with us, the Zerbe Photography experience begins!
Engagement Session:
This 30-60 minute session can be booked anytime leading up to your wedding date! After working together to choose a perfect location and great outfits, we will get together and capture some great portraits for you to use for Save the Dates and your wedding website. We will focus on getting to know your photographic style and how you interact together as a couple. We will walk you both through everything step-by-step while finding the "poses" that work with your style (no stuffy prom poses here please). This is the time to get you both comfortable in front of the camera and also comfortable working with us.
Final Consultation & Timeline Preparation:
In the final months leading to your wedding day, we will be available to help with anything and everything you need - vendor recommendations, timeline preparation, planning suggestions and more. This is what Zerbe Photography experience is all about!
Check out our timeline sample below. We are incredibly thorough with these because we want to make sure your day goes super smooth which will definitely make it more enjoyable too!
When we are just a few weeks out, we will plan a consultation to finalize your wedding timeline and answer any last-minute questions. Our goal is for you to wake up on your big day with the peace of mind that this day will be all about marrying your soulmate and celebrating your amazing wedding!
Wedding Day:
The big day is here!! Thanks to all of the planning we’ve done, your wedding day is going to be super stress-free and fun. We will be there to capture every moment from beginning to end, so that you have memories to last a lifetime to come.
Photography Reveal:
In the following days after your wedding, we will be working to cull your photographs down to the best of the best. Galleries average a range of 400-1000 photographs at the end of the process. We also add some standard enhancements to the photographs to help bring out the best color and light density. In the meantime keep an eye out on our social media which will help you see some previews before the big reveal!
You can expect to meet for a reveal of your finished online gallery 2-4 weeks after your wedding. The online gallery showcases all of your stunning wedding photographs so that you can view, share, and order.
Your Created Product Suite:
There is a great selection of products to choose from that will showcase your wedding perfectly. Framed Portraits are a wonderful option to help relive your wedding every day. A 16x20 frame is the most popular size today, this portrait size can be placed almost anywhere in your home; however we normally recommend a living room space.
If you want a print that is really going to garner attention, how about a Canvas Wrap? Canvas Wraps are a true showcase-piece option that will "wow" people. Printed on fine-art canvas paper and wrapped on oak stretcher bars, you will not be disappointed in its beauty!
Depending on the collection you chose, a Miller's Signature Album is a phenomenal showcase option. We will work together to create a fabulous art piece that is exactly what you imagined it to be. Once we have finalized your design, the book is sent out to Miller's Print Lab where it will be assembled. This process typically takes 4-6 weeks to complete.
