Iron Lace Photography
weddings
I am thrilled you are interested in choosing me to document your special day! I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who inspires you, and someone who eases wedding day jitters. And, hopefully someone who eventually becomes a friend. I'm excited to give you a little tour so you can learn more about me - the process of working together - and my wedding collections! Let's dive in!
Treasure the moments that don’t last forever…
My business isn't about pictures, it's about people. It's not about weddings, it's about marriages. It's not about transactions, it's about relationships. And it's not about one day, it's about a lifetime. I can't wait to connect with you and tell your love story.
About Me
Hey, I’m Jess!
I’m a mama of three of the most special humans. One happens to be a Childhood Cancer Survivor. My husband and I have been married over 10 years and we reside in Clarksville, Tn.
I enjoy ASMR videos, makeup, nail art and books! I love to read scary books but not watch scary movies (sometimes they’re too real LOL). Im a huge nerd for Star Wars, LOTR, and Harry Potter. Yes, I will absolutely ask what your zodiac sign is.
I’ve been a photographer for over 10 years now and have created memories for so many families. Wedding portrait work are some of my favorites as I love getting to meet new couples and learn how their love story started!
The Experience
A simple, stress-free process from initial inquiry to products in your hand!
If you love the final photos I deliver but don’t love the experience behind them, I haven’t done my job! When you look at your wedding photos, I hope you’ll fondly remember your experience with me! I prioritize communication, connection, and clear expectations throughout the process, so you’ll know exactly what to expect each step of the way.
THE PROCESS
Let’s break it down!
Step 1: Paying your retainer & signing your contract
To book your wedding, a $600 fee is required to hold a spot for you in my calendar. This fee is also taken out of the final total of your Collection! Along with paying your non refundable retainer you’ll also sign your contract that will go over all the details in your Collection, as well as cover where your wedding will take place. This is VERY important and I cannot secure your date in my calendar without both of these. Because of my busy schedule and children I only allow myself to shoot 1 wedding per month. This spot books up very quickly because of it so I want to make sure we have everything squared away!
Step 2: Your engagement session
Some of my Collections include a mini engagement session! This gives extra time for us to connect with each other a little more as well as allows me get to know your chemistry with your partner and how best to photograph it!
Step 3: Day of details
A month before the wedding we will sit down and meet for lunch or coffee and make a schedule of events for the day! This is where we will get very detailed down to the half hour and I will help put together a photography schedule that will go with your wants and needs as well as working around the other vendors at your big day! Your final balance will also be due here if you havent been paying an in-house monthly installment plan with me!
Step 4: its time to get married!
Its your big day! The day you’ve been waiting for your whole life! My second shooter and I will be showing up anywhere from an hour to a half hour early to scope out the area and get our equipment ready! If you’d like to get a friendly text to let you know we’ve arrived we can! We are there to empower you, keep the day stress free, keep you guys laughing and having fun!
Step 5: Photo Delivery
After the big day is all said and done, I will make my way home, back up your images on several different hard drives (for safe keeping) and begin to share sneak peeks throughout my social media platforms. Depending on the season it will take anywhere from 4-12 weeks to get your images back. After I deliver your digital gallery, if you have chosen a Collection with print products we will go over how to select your images for those and I will begin to design your wall art and/or heirloom album!
F.A.Q
have more questions for me?
Can I provide a photo list for you? ABSOLUTELY!
What if it rains on my wedding day? Embrace the rain!
We can either stay indoors or play in the rain! Totally your call!
My partner and I have never taken professional photos. Will you pose us? YES! Down to where to look and place your hands!
Will you photograph another wedding on the same day as my wedding? NO! Your wedding is our only focus that day!
Do you charge a travel fee? Yes! There is a small travel fee for weddings outside of the Clarksville, TN area!
Do you have liability insurance? Yes I do and I can provide the proper paperwork for your vendor if needed!
