Hi there, my partner Caden and I are getting married on May 1, 2027 at the Baton Rouge Gallery in City Park. We’ve been together for 15 years and are excited to finally bring our friends and families together to tie the knot. We’re hoping to have a photographer there to capture first looks, ceremony, and reception. Thank you!

    Hi Ayla!
    
    Thanks so much for reaching out! I'm available for your date and would love to celebrate with you two!
    
    15 years together and finally making it official - that is the best setup for a wedding! I love that you're bringing everyone together to celebrate what you've already built.
    
    The Baton Rouge Gallery in City Park is such a cool venue!
    
    Your budget of $4,000 works well with my collections. My 8-hour package is $3,800, which would cover first looks, ceremony, and reception perfectly. Here's my investment guide if you want to take a look: https://hannahherpincreative.com/wedding-investment-guide/
    
    If that feels like a good fit, just reply back and I'll send over all the details!
    
    Talk soon,
    Hannah

    Hi Hannah,
    
    Thanks so much for getting back to me! I'm very excited - your photos are so great. I'd also be curious about how you think your 6-hour package could work - we're not worried about exit photos (or photos of me getting to lit on the dance floor lol), but I do want to take photos early before the ceremony with my fiance and our wedding party at the very least. That way we have more time to enjoy cocktail hour!
    
    Timeline-wise, our venue is closed to the public at 6, so we're thinking starting the ceremony at 6:30. 
    
    Thanks! 
    Ayla

    Hi Ayla! 
    
    You have the exact right idea of how to make 6 hours work! I always say that dancing shots can get very repetitive! And if you aren’t worried about the exit then 6 hours is more than doable! 
    I have a whole process to help you figure out your photo timeline so we’re making to most of your time and putting those hours where they matter the most to you!

    That sounds amazing. I'd love to chat sometime next week perhaps to touch base and just go over any questions. Caden and I typically both work 9-5 during the week, but he has Fridays off and I also have flexibility of when I can take lunch. Would you be free Friday, 7/31 to chat perhaps? Or I can be flexible other days during the week if you think it works with just the two of us.
  5. I sent
    I would love that! I’m free on the 31st!
    Of course, I would love to meet you both, but I can just chat with you if you wouldn’t want to wait as long.
  6. They replied
    The 31st sounds great. Maybe around noon?
    
    My number is 985-285-9472 but I can plan to call you that day.
  7. I sent
    That’s perfect! I’ll put it on my calendar!

    I’m ready to jump on the phone whenever you are!

    Hi Ayla, 
    
        It was so nice chatting with you today! Below is the link to your online booking proposal that I told you about on the phone. It's 3 steps, and once all three steps are completed, you'll be on my calendar! The first page corresponds to the investment guide I sent over. It's where you can pick the exact options you'd like. The second page is the agreement, which can be signed online. The third page is the invoice for the retainer, which is 25% of the overall options you've chosen. If you run into any problems or questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to me!

    Hi Hannah,
    
    I'm just checking in. I reviewed your contract, and I'm just going to let Caden review this week. We should be able to put down the deposit next week to confirm and hold our date. 
    
    Best,
    Ayla

    Sounds great! If he has any questions for me while looking it over, just let me know!

    Hi Ayla!
    
    Just wanted to check in and see how things are going! Did Caden get a chance to look everything over?
    
    If your plans have changed at all or you have any questions, just let me know - I'm happy to help however I can! I'd love to stay in the loop 
    
    Talk soon,
    Hannah
