Dawn Eicher Photography

Don’t worry, this isn’t a decision you’ll have to make alone! This is definitely an answer based on your budget and also what “milestone” moments you wish to cover. I will schedule a call with you both to review this is greater detail, and we can walk through the day and determine how much coverage you need. After our consultation, I’ll craft a custom proposal for you that includes my hourly recommendation based on all the determining factors. I have been a part of over 600+ weddings, so I am very familiar with the “flow” of a wedding day, and am happy to make suggestions. I do all I can to ensure you maximize my time and your budget!

In short, it’s a Family Portrait List we can work off of during the family photo portion of the day. It’s VERY helpful to have a full list of EVERY combination you wish to have me take. I don’t want to miss anyone, or any combination, so list away, and I can estimate the time it will take to finish the list. Typically it’s about a minute per combination. You can also include any "not to miss" moments such as details on a special petal toss, or your wedding day embroidered into his suit, etc... I'll be sure to capture anything specific you desire.

For larger weddings, I typically book 12-15 months in advance. In order to provide each of my couples the best experience possible, I book a limited number of large weddings per month. If you have the date chosen, book it! I will reserve your date up to two years in advance. As for delivery of your gallery, this depends on the time of year and the length of the wedding coverage. For weddings under 3 hours, my gallery delivery time is about 3-4 weeks. For weddings over 3 hours, it’s typically 4-6 weeks. I know every couple is anxious to see their beautiful wedding photos, and I do my best to get them to you as soon as possible. I promise it’s worth the wait, as I touch every photo and add my signature artisan edits. I appreciate your patience, and always look forward to the delivery! If you need your images RUSH delivered, please inquire prior to your wedding and I will check my availability.

Yes, I edit them simply for color correction and color enhancement only. The secret is still taking a great picture, but the “magic” and artistic flair happens in post processing. I try to give you many styles and colors, but if you have any particular dislikes, be sure to let me know. I’m always happy to go back and make subtle changes or convert additional photos to black and white, etc… I also will edit out anything distracting from the photo in regards to location. If you have any special requests regarding additional "photo-shopping", please inquire about my digital makeover packages. With digital makeovers, I am able to subtly make wrinkles and skin conditions less noticeable, eliminate bra straps and tattoos, soften suntan lines or burns, shrink double chins and shrink arm, waistlines, etc... If you're interested any of these enhancements, please reach out! I want you to be absolutely sure you love the finished product! The best advice I can give couples is invest in some great sun shirts and hats before the wedding, and avoid the sun. Having sunburns in your wedding photos is awful, and Photoshopping is very costly!

Yes I do! I love knowing you are printing those gorgeous photos and adorning your walls with them. I’m happy to help you with ordering prints, canvases, albums and even parent albums. They love those too, and makes wonderful holiday gifts! I price all of my packages with albums as a la carte options, but happy to help with design and printing those beautiful photos in an album.
