Well Heyo!
Hey! My name is Nicole, and yes this picture is totally fine to use year-round even though it’s not Christmas. I’m master photographer along with my husband, Justin. We’ve found the greatest joy in photographing elopements and unique weddings, but quickly came across a problem. We need clones!
So, I came up with an idea that would forever change us for the better – quality wedding photography for everyone, everywhere, locally. Flash forward to now, we are so fortunate to have an absolute dream of a small business including a loyal team of master photographers and editors. We have a VERY small team of 1-2 people per city we are local to because we’re picky as hell about who we trust. These photographers are part of OUR team, not outsources.
In addition, Wanderlust is part of our sister company White Fox, who also serves 100+ couples a year, but only in TN + FL. We are SO happy and proud of our little business to have received 375+ 5-star reviews and counting, and to be Vet-owned and named on top by brides everywhere.
Your mouth may be on the floor, but our goal here is simple — We want you to feel like our only couple we’re working with.
We’re so so excited you’re here and we’re SO excited to chat with you more.
What should you expect while working with us?
service like no other
We only take a limited number of clients per year which means you have 100% of our attention. This means we help with your photo timeline, planning our hike, helping you find a rad hotel to stay in - anything you guys need. We’re here to be more than photographers. We’re here for any questions you may have! You’ll have meetings with your photographer, and then after your wedding you’ll be able to view your images with us and select images you’d like for your album or wall art.
Where are you located?
We’re local to TN, TX, and AZ. We have 1-2 photographers in each city that work WITH us directly (because let’s face it - we’re picky) that help us out when we have multiple weddings the same day. We do NOT outsource like corporations.
How to book
We require a 30% nonrefundable down-payment to secure your spot on our calendar for your wedding. The remainder isn’t due until 30 days prior to the wedding. You may pay in whatever payments along the way you wish. All remainder payments are done on a secure, private, online client portal you will always have access to throughout our time together.
Your Images
We hand-edited every single image you see on this website, and what you will receive. We take pride in our images and do them one by one. However, we know how anxious you are to get your images back (and we were too), so they’ll all be back in an industry breaking 14 days! All of our packages are all-inclusive - all the images edited for ya - print release - with 0 fees!
When to Book
I recommend booking about 6-12 months from your wedding date, however we take bookings up to 2-2.5 years out depending on availability.
Our Experience
We want our experience to be as one-time and special as your wedding, plain and simple. Whether you’re epically eloping or having a regular wedding, we want your EXPERIENCE to be epic. Your time with us is much different than other photographers, so feel free to get a scoop into it below!
CONSULT
First is first! Chatting on the phone makes everything easier since we’re going to be throwing a lot of words in your face and we don’t know about you, but we hate reading novel emails and texts.
SO to make it easier, we chat it up on the phone, see how much time you need, explain our entire process start to finish, talk about your dogs (oops did that slip in there), and start our relationship!
ENGAGEMENT
Your engagement session is 100% complimentary. We don’t charge at all for the engagement session fee, so if you’d like an engagement, this is a free option for you and to meet your photographer!
We’ll recommend a few of our favorite spots, get ‘er done, and then after, you’ll receive your images within 14 days.
The images will then be shown in a Reveal (our fancy way of saying, sit down and relax dang it, you’ve been busy af) and you’ll be able to choose the images you’d like to purchase, an album, or maybe some wall art instead.
QUESTIONNAIRE
This is when you will chat it up to confirm items and ask any last minute questions. Usually this is anywhere from 1 month - 2 weeks out from your wedding.
We’re always available to text it up through the process, and will be there to confirm final details if you’d like! Everything is usually done via email/text, but final details we’ll send a questionnaire to you so that you can give us those final deets!
WEDDING DAY!
It’s hereeeeee! Enjoy your wedding day, let us take care of the rest.
DAY AFTER SESSION // WEDDING REVEAL
Most of our couples add on a Day-After Session. This is great for an hour or two of couple’s photos exploring a different location than you explored the day before!
After that, comes the Reveal!
This is my FAVORITE part. This is the time when you get to see all of your images and get your digital gallery within 14 days of your wedding. We’ll meet up either in-person or online to do this and just take it all in.
After, we’ll look through some options and ways to preserve your wedding like albums or wall art, and design them for you.
And that’s our process! We’ll explain everything over the phone, but this gives a good insight on what to expect with us :)
