Interview and Consultation
You'll start by filling out a form on our Contact Page. We'll schedule a face to face introduction where we will hear more about you and the vision you have for your wedding! If it seems like it could be a good fit, we'll continue on with the consultation portion where we will design a custom tailored proposal that will best fit the needs for your day.

Get To Know Your Photographer
After booking, your photographer will be anxious to get to know you better! We want to know your likes, dislikes, dreams and vision for your wedding photos. We can meet over drinks or zoom if it's more convenient. Your engagement session is also great way to get started and for you to begin to feel comfortable in front of the camera.

The Planning Process
We will start with a series of questionnaires and begin building your day-of timeline with you or your wedding coordinator. Our goal is to ensure that your photography coverage works perfectly so you can RELAX on your wedding day... we got you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver RAW files?
When you hire EVP you are not only hiring us to take photos, you are also saying you trust our creative vision and direction. The RAW files are incomplete works of art and for this reason we will never deliver the RAW files as they do not represent our completed body of work.
Is there a travel fee?
There is a travel fee for wedding and engagement sessions outside a
30 mile radius outside of Chicago.
Destination weddings have an all-inclusive fee.
