Thanks for reaching out — I read every message myself, and you'll hear back from me within 24 hours.

What happens next

Three steps, and no guesswork.

  1. 01

    A real reply, within 24 hours

    Not an auto-responder. I'll check your date against my calendar and write back personally either way — open or not, you'll know quickly.

  2. 02

    If your date is open, we'll talk

    We'll set up a time to really sit down together — video, phone, or here at the studio. That's where we get into collections, pricing, and what your day actually needs, once I know it's yours to plan.

  3. 03

    You decide with everything in front of you

    If it feels like a fit, I'll send everything over to hold your date. If it doesn't, I'll happily point you toward someone who is a better fit — no hard feelings, ever.

One quick favor: add Jared@DaysAwayCreative.com to your contacts now. My reply has a habit of hiding in the Promotions tab or the spam folder, and I'd hate for you to think I forgot about you.

A note from me

Photographing weddings is a privilege.

I don't take it lightly that you're trusting one person to be there for the whole thing — the nervous part, the loud part, the part at the end when everyone's shoes are off.

Planning this can get overwhelming. I've done it enough times to help you get ahead of the parts that trip couples up, and I'll be around for the whole run-up, not just the day itself.

And when the photos are ready, you won't get a link in your inbox and a shrug. You'll come to the studio in South Philly, and we'll put your day up on the big screen together. It's my favorite part of the job.

Talk soon.
