On the day of your wedding, emotions are running high. All the planning and preparation are finally taking form. You only get one take to orchestrate the perfect performance.

But what if there was a cheat code, and we could do it all again? Wouldn't that be amazing?

Enter an often-overlooked element of your wedding, the rehearsal dinner.

You can hire a photographer for that too!

Here are a few reasons why you might consider hiring a photographer for your rehearsal dinner:

1. There's less tension in the air: A rehearsal dinner is typically more intimate and relaxed than your wedding day. With a little less stress, your photographer can capture natural and unguarded moments that might be more difficult to capture during the formalities of your wedding day. Take two, or three, or as many as you need. No pressure.

2. Opportunity to spend time with your guests pre-celebration: Spoiler alert! You're on a tight schedule on your wedding day. There isn't much opportunity to interact with family and friends. With a photographer, you can capture unique, candid moments with your loved ones during your rehearsal dinner.

3. Get to know your photographer better: If you plan on hiring the same photographer for your wedding, having them attend your rehearsal dinner can be an excellent opportunity to get to know them better. It can help build a rapport and make you feel more comfortable with them, which can help when it comes to taking photos on your wedding day.

We exist to preserve once-in-a-lifetime moments for you to relive forever. Your rehearsal dinner is an extension of your wedding. Providing you the opportunity to build upon it and create additional photo opportunities with the people that matter the most.

Would we be your rehearsal dinner photographers, you ask? "We do, we do, we do-ooh."

Please send us a message, and we'll be delighted to tailor a package to your needs.
