A TOP-SHELF TRI-STATE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE
VEIL AND AS SIMPLE AS YOUR GRANDMOTHER’S PEARLS
As
timeless
AS A CATHEDRAL
We believe the perfect wedding day is made in the in-between. In a toast with your closest friends between makeup and slipping into your gown. In a quiet vow practice between your first look and that trip down the aisle. In a few tender moments away from guests’ eyes between “I now pronounce you…” and the reception. There’s so much to look forward to and enjoy on your wedding day, and we don’t want you to miss (or ever forget!) a single moment.
So, enjoy peace of mind as our team turns your romantic celebration into artwork you’ll cherish for a lifetime! We'll craft your timeline while you finalize your florist. We’ll build your photo list while you search for the perfect gown. We'll corral the bridal party while you trade decade-old inside jokes. We’ll fix the lipstick smudges, straighten boutonnieres, and bustle your gown while you enter fully into the best day of your life. We’ll be interactive when required and discrete when necessary. And when it’s all said and done? You'll get to experience our one-of-a-kind gallery reveal which includes design guidance to help you turn your favorite moments into heirlooms and art. That’s what we mean by top-shelf! And we can’t wait to bring it to you.

We aren't fans of waiting until the last minute or keeping our clients in the dark. So, why delay in laying out the initial timeline of your day? As soon as you book, we’ll send you a questionnaire to help us craft the preliminary timeline for your day, giving us plenty of time to adjust it before crunch time.

The day you’ve been waiting for will arrive before you know it: gallery reveal day! We believe your wedding photos deserve a little more fanfare than an unceremonious email containing a digital gallery. So, as soon as your images are ready, you’ll hop on your pre-scheduled Reveal & Ordering appointment to see your entire set of images for the first time, presented in a breathtaking album slideshow! Then, our design team will help you customize your bespoke, museum-quality heirlooms so you can treasure them forever.

The adventure with Idalia doesn’t end with a heartwarming wedding album on your coffee table. Your wedding is just the beginning of a new adventure, and we want to help you preserve every special milestone still to come. As a member of the Idalia family, you now have access to our lifestyle and studio portrait collections! That means we're just an email away when you’re ready to celebrate an anniversary, newborn, or just another year with your growing family. We can’t wait to catch up with you time and time again as we fill your home with art!
SHOULD BE RELIVED EVERY HOLIDAY, ANNIVERSARY,
BECAUSE
your
MEMORIES
and cozy
SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Most couples looking for a photographer make the mistake of thinking a digital gallery is all they need, but if that’s all you get in a wedding collection, you’ll find yourself scrolling through your wedding images on your phone instead of cozying up on the couch together to flip through your beautiful album.
Luckily, if there’s one thing we have in common with our clients, it’s a passion for turning moments into art. For decorating our lives with moments frozen in time. We hope your favorite wedding image is the last thing you see on the night of your first anniversary and the first thing you see the morning of your 50th. That’s why we put a unique emphasis on heirloom design at Idalia Photography. So, whether it’s a framed print hanging over your fireplace or an album covered in the fingerprints of your future children and grandchildren, let’s turn your wedding day into art.
The
heirlooms
“I AM STILL SPEECHLESS EVERY TIME I OPEN OUR ALBUM.”
When we first met her at our engagement photos, she was so kind and a joy to work with, and she made the nervous, awkward feelings of being in front of a camera disappear. She followed up with us multiple times before our wedding day to make sure everything was perfect. The moment I saw her on my wedding day, I felt a huge sigh of relief knowing she was there and she and her team were going to capture the most special day for us perfectly.
KAITLIN, BRIDE
Q: How many hours of coverage should we book?
A: With us, you never have to worry over whether you need eight hours of photography or ten. Unless you’re planning a 50-guest-or-fewer micro wedding, ALL of our collections include a full day of photography from prep to cake!
Q: What do you mean when you say you offer a full-service experience?
A: We believe your photography experience should not end with a link to a gallery or a review request. No, thank you! Our experience begins before your step in front of the camera with impeccable planning and continues afterward, with an art design-oriented gallery reveal. We want your images—your love story—to get out of your inbox and into your hands.
Q: Can we print images on our own?
A: Absolutely! You can continue to print images from your gallery store long after your design appointment. We’ll simply give you a head start with your album the day you see your photos! No stressing over design or searching for a reliable lab necessary!
Q: How would you describe your editing style?
A: Our primary concern is to give you images that will stand the test of time while still delighting you today. By blending the light and airy look so popular today with true-to-life tones, your gallery will look as tasteful on your golden anniversary as it does on your first!
The
Investment
SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST CLICKS OF A CAMERA
We believe luxury is about more than crystal-clear, tasteful imagery. It’s about perfection in the smallest details, beginning the moment you book. To ensure every detail is covered, our collections are thoughtfully designed to bring you joy before, during, and long after your wedding day.
Your wedding is one of a kind, and your photography experience should reflect that. Reach out to learn more about our offerings and start planning your timeless wedding photography experience.
“Exceeded our expectations in every way!”
Our wedding photos came out STUNNING! Not only were the photos incredible, but the professionalism and kindness they showed to us that day made us and our families so happy and comfortable. I would recommend Alex and her team without hesitation to anyone, and I hope every bride is as lucky as I was to get to work with such amazing people!
