1. INQUIRY + CONSULTATION
We receive your inquiry with all important event details. We make initial contact via phone or text to set up a consultation, in person or virtual, to explain our whole process, understand your event needs and review pricing, collections and options. Our pricing is highly customizable and we love making our couples the most adored people in the world by providing the ultimate wedding photography experience!
2. CONTRACT + RETAINER
After the consultation, we'll send over a personalized quote with the retainer and contract. When all those details are smoothed out, your date is officially locked on our calendar. At that point, we do not accept any other commissions for the day, so it's very important to be absolutely sure we love working with one another!
3. SESSIONS + QUESTIONNAIRES
We start planning all our booked pre-wedding sessions such as engagement photography, or a bridal session, offering outfit suggestions, locations and all the details to make it an extra fun, relaxing adventure.
The wedding questionnaire is sent out and we begin working on the wedding day photography timeline, to be embedded in the master timeline of your wedding planner.

Our Experience
STEP BY STEP
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
How far in advance should we book you for our wedding?
Typically, couples book Andree Photo about 12 - 18 months before their wedding date. We encourage you to reach out as soon as possible for our full wedding availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame. Reach out and let's talk!
Do you work with assistants or other photographers?
A second professional photographer is a subtle, yet amazing addition to our wedding day!
If your significant other is getting ready in a different location, the second photographer can easily capture the getting ready process with their attendees.
Also, during ceremony and reception, the Second photographer will capture a different vision than the Lead photographer, ensuring that your day is covered from a multitude of angles!
If there are multiple venues or events going on at the same time, having multiple photographers on hand re-assures the Couple that absolutely nothing of the flow of a wedding day gets missed!
For certain collections, Second Photographer services are included, or we would just bring a photographer's assistant.
How Would You Describe Your Photographic Style?
Andree Photo has a crisp, vibrant, colorful, documentary style of wedding photography. We mainly photograph candidly to capture the true feeling of your wedding day, though we will also spend time prompting and directing our couples for more dramatic end results. We love and use natural lighting, along with additional artificial lighting for extra sparkle!
Do You Photograph Micro Weddings And Elopements?
My team and I adore micro-weddings and elopements! Due to increased demand of Saturday and Sunday weddings, there is an eight hour minimum for booking a weekend event with Andree Photo (Saturday or Sunday). If your intimate wedding is on a weekend less than two weeks away and we still have the date available, we are happy to photograph it. Just reach out and ask!
How Do We Book You For Our Wedding?
Start by filling out the contact form with details about the wedding/event date and location! We’ll follow up with our collections and schedule a time for a phone or video consultation. You'll have the chance to ask questions and we'll get to know you and your partner a bit more! To secure the date, we will send a quote and contract, plus invoice for a 25% retainer. Once both those are completed, we're in business, baby!
How Long Will It Take To See Our Photos?
Turnaround times vary by season. Because we apply artisan edits and believe in exquisite over ultra-fast, you’ll typically be able to view images online about 8-12 weeks after your wedding. A few previews may be offered, time and season permitting. Printed products included in your booked collection will depend on album and wall art design choices and print lab delivery. All products and your USB drive will be delivered in person or via mail at the same time. All purchased products must be redeemed within a year of the event.
What Kind Of Wedding Albums Do You Offer?
We adore seeing your beautiful images come to life, and we have lots of gorgeous album options. Albums are included in two of our all inclusive wedding day collections. Our wedding albums and books are flush mount, lay-flat style. Albums can be ordered leather or linen bound, printed on photographic archival paper. Books are press printed, with leather/linen covers. Artisan designed covers and storage boxes are available as add-ons.
What Do Your Collections Generally Include?
All wedding collections include delivery of high-res artisan edited digital files with a personal use print release. Available add-ons are wedding albums, gift photo prints, save the date and thank you cards, gallery wraps, acrylic and metal prints, heirloom glass boxes and more. Please inquire for more details or challenge us to make something new.
What Are Your Travel Fees?
We request travel fees for locations more than 2 hours or 150 miles outside of Mobile, AL. This way we can commit to spending the day and evening with you and not worry about having to drive long distances late at night. Depending on the location of your event, travel/lodging is generally no more than $350 for the Alabama area. For an accurate estimate for your national or destination wedding location, please request details directly at laura@andreephotography.com!
Do You Offer Engagement or Couples' Sessions?
Absolutely! An engagement or couples' session is a chance to get used to being photographed with your partner, as well as working with your photographer. We recommend meaningful locations like an urban area, a beautiful park where you take your pup for a walk, the beach or even the top of a mountain (always up for an adventure!). Some of our collections have these sessions included, or they may be added a la carte.
