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.
First, share some details with us about the fabulous party you’re planning through our contact page! We’ll be in touch within 48 hours to set up a time to connect about your vision.
We start by listening to your vision to recommend the perfect collection and photographer for your day. From there, we’ll guide you through our detailed Experience Guide, answering all your questions and ensuring everything is crystal clear. Once you're ready, you can secure your date or visit our studio to view our albums in person!
Once you’ve booked, you’ll receive our comprehensive Client Guide, access to your online Client Portal and a timeline questionnaire to kickstart planning your day. With everything organized early and every detail accounted for, you can relax knowing you're in good hands.
Your engagement is a fleeting yet beautiful chapter worth capturing. For your session, we’ll meet at a scenic or meaningful location. Within a few short weeks, your images will be ready, and your album pre-designed—both unveiled during your first gallery reveal with our design team
Three months before your wedding date, we’ll send a questionnaire to gather all the details about your day. Meanwhile, feel free to send over any final questions—or even nerves, excitement, and photos from your gown fitting! At T-1 Month, you'll have the option of meeting with your photographer on a video call to go over all the logistics of the day.
We’ll arrive on the morning of your wedding day just as the final touches are being put on your hair and makeup to capture the details and photos of your bridal party in their matching robes and slippers. Then, our team will be there throughout the day to document all the moving parts of your wedding day and we’ll stay until you’ve cut your wedding cake.
Reveal Day arrives before you know it! Instead of a simple email, you'll join a pre-scheduled virtual Reveal & Ordering appointment to experience your images in a stunning album slideshow. Our design team will then help you customize bespoke, museum-quality heirlooms to cherish forever.
Your journey with Idalia doesn’t end with a wedding album on your coffee table. As part of the Idalia family, you’ll have access to our lifestyle and studio portrait collections—perfect for anniversaries, newborn sessions, or celebrating your growing family. We’re just an email away and can’t wait to help you fill your home with art!
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.
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.
At Idalia Photography, we believe photography isn’t just about taking photos—it’s about crafting an experience where you feel seen, celebrated, and completely at ease every step of the way. It’s about transforming once-in-a-lifetime milestones into elegant, heartfelt memories that stand the test of time through cherished heirlooms.
On your wedding day, you’ll be supported by our dedicated three-person team, ensuring every moment is captured with care and precision. Behind the scenes, our in-house editors guarantee quick turnaround times, while our in-house design team creates bespoke, museum-quality heirlooms that beautifully tell your story.
We’re not just here to capture moments—we’re here to preserve them with intention, so they can be cherished for generations.
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 diverse offerings and see which one would best suit your needs.
Selecting a wedding photography package can be overwhelming. How many hours of coverage do you need? How many photographers? And how much additional, hands-on assistance? With Idalia, that’s all taken care of! We believe every couple deserves the best, so every collection we offer includes:
Wedding photography investments begin at $6,500 with Alex
and start at $5,000 with our team photographers
AVERAGE INVESTMENT IS $9,000 - $15,000
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!
BRITTANY, BRIDE
Q: How long until we see our wedding photos?
A: You won’t have to wait long to relive your wedding magic! Sneak peeks will arrive within 24–48 hours, and the full gallery experience is entirely in your hands. About a month before your wedding, you'll get access to our calendar to schedule your personalized Reveal. You choose the perfect day—starting as soon as five weeks after your wedding—to see your photos for the first time in a breathtaking album slideshow!
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!
