WEDDINGS

step-by-step GUIDE (swipe left⬅️)

WHAT TO EXPECT

Congratulations on your wedding! I’m so happy for you, and I’m grateful to be considered for your wedding!

You will spend most of your special day with me! (Probably more than anyone else in your wedding besides your spouse-to-be!) That means I will be more than your photographer and friend; I’ll be a day-of assistant of sorts! I’ll be ensuring to capture every important step of your wedding as we discussed the weeks leading up to your wedding, but also I will assist in making sure everything runs according to schedule and everything runs according to plan! I know when to be present and to direct, and I know when to step back and allow meaningful and intimate moments happen.

Before the day of your wedding, we will have discussed your wedding at length, what your desires are, and most importantly become friends in the process. This way, I can make it truly my duty to make your dream wedding a reality.
Step 1: DRINKS (or something like that)

Jokes aside, the biggest thing when it comes to choosing a wedding photographer—besides honesty and creativity—is the vibe. You’ll be spending most of your big day with me, and trust me, everything goes smoother if we’ve met beforehand! It’s not a dealbreaker if we don’t, but I’d genuinely love to meet you and your partner over drinks.
Seriously, let’s grab a drink! I’m not here to “sell” you—I just want to get to know you, whether you book me or not. I never say no to good conversation and meeting awesome people. I want to hear all about you two—your story, your interests, your dreams, and of course, your vision for the big day.

If you choose me as your photographer, I’ll take it from there! This ain’t my first rodeo—I know what I’m great at, and I’ll never promise something I can’t deliver. Weddings are my number one passion, strength, and source of personal joy (besides my own marriage, of course), so you can count on me to come through on your big day. I’ll work closely with your coordinator (if you’ve got one), the venue, and keep things running smoothly and on time!
Step 2: Book Me

If you haven’t already by the time we met for drinks, now all you have to do is book an appointment on my calendar! (There is a reason for this.) At this point, you will need to book an appointment on my website for the day your wedding! This way my calendar is blocked off for your special day, AND I have a wedding intake form built into my appointment scheduler, which goes over any details that we may have missed when we met in person!

Complimentary engagement sessions are included with all wedding bookings! After you book your appointment on my calendar for your wedding I will call you and we will figure out a separate date/time/location to photograph your free engagement portraits for those save-the-dates and invitations!

I have NO DEPOSITS, NO CANCELLATION FEES, and NO TRAVEL FEES for weddings. I operate by your word; if you chose me and we shake hands, then we are good to go. I will be there for your special day no matter what!
Step 3: More Planning

Then we wait! After you book your wedding on my calendar, we shoot your engagement session and get your save-the-dates and invitation photos out as soon as possible!

Then we sit and wait for the week BEFORE your wedding. The week before your wedding, I will have already contacted you or your coordinator to see if any changes have taken place.

If your wedding has a rehearsal, I WILL BE THERE! I love rehearsals, and they very important for me personally to be there the day before to get a lay-of-the-land if I’ve never shot at your venue before. It’s 100% necessary for me to be there for the rehearsal, but I definitely would love to come!

Then you get married!
Step 4: Payment

Payment in full must be sent to me before any photos/videos are delivered to you!

I do not take deposits! You can pay me the day before your wedding, or the day of your wedding! I can accept all major credit cards on my website for all bookings, however there is a 5% processing fee to use my “Pay Now” option for credit cards! Otherwise, I accept cash, PayPal, Zelle, and Venmo as well!

Once you pay, and immediately after your wedding I begin the editing process! All wedding photos are delivered two weeks after your wedding to a cloud location! Yes, that’s right, 2 week delivery on all wedding photos!

If you are booking wedding video with me, this is much more time consuming and all wedding videos are delivered within 2 months of your wedding day!

Dylan was the first photographer my husband and I reached out to. Within two minutes of our phone call, we KNEW he was the one. He clicked so well with us and with every single person at our wedding, he is STILL the talk of the town. Dylan went above and beyond in more ways than one. He was extremely considerate of our wants and needs. He coordinated and communicated very well with us and those that helped setup. He was everyone's hype man and we adore him for it. Overall, Dylan made my husband and I his priorities and it is CLEARLY evident in his work. Dylan was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, not only because he captured our day so beautifully, but because we also gained a great friend❤️

I'm telling you, hire Dylan Dylan photographed our wedding on 3/22/2025. Saying we were very please is an understatement . In our wedding photos Dylan captured the complete story of our wedding from the mundane ,( that i see know is not really mundane) to the the usual cake cutting ,family photos, plus fun and quirky. He captured it all. After looking at the photos , I am certain Dylan is in the top of the field of Event Photography .Then add in the ease and stealth in which he moves about taking photo after photo. My sisters were so impressed with Dylan we hired him to photograph my Mom's 90th Birthday Party . A 1st rate photographer, and great guy ,that's Dylan

Creative, Fun, and Timely, Dylan is the Wedding Pro! We can’t say enough amazing things about our wedding photographer, Dylan! From the moment he arrived, he instantly made us feel at ease with his friendly and up beat personality. His sense of humor had us laughing through every shot, which was exactly what we needed to stay relaxed on such a big day. Dylan came up with some incredibly creative and fun ideas for photos, making the whole experience feel more like a celebration than a formal photoshoot. He had an eye for the perfect candid moments, capturing genuine laughter, loving glances, and those small, unscripted moments that really made the day special. A highlight for us were the shots he got of our niece and nephew. Dylan really knew how to work with kids, capturing their personalities in such a natural, joyful way. The photos of them running around and being themselves were some of our favorites. And to top it all off, Dylan was incredibly timely in getting the photos to us after the wedding. We didn’t have to wait long at all to relive those beautiful memories, and the quality of the images blew us away. We’ll cherish these photos forever! If you’re looking for a photographer who brings a fun, relaxed vibe, creative ideas, and an eye for the special moments, then Dylan is the one! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I can’t say enough about Dylan Photo PHX. Im not going to say I am a Bridezilla, but I am very particular and bossy on how I like things. A perfectionist. Dylan asked thoughtful questions, did ample research, and was there with us every step of the way. He took pictures I would never thought of. Our wedding video I perfect because as a stressed bride I missed a lot of the fun. The video let me re-live our beautiful wedding without the stress of the day. Dylan and his partner maintained control of the day ensuring all shots were perfect, including the backgrounds. No little detail was missed. Absolutely perfect. Im so thankful for our photos and video because that was my most favorite day ever and I can revisit it whenever I want.

We had an incredible experience with Dylan Photo PHX! Dylan was truly the best—professional, friendly, and so easy to work with from start to finish. He was incredibly accommodating to our schedule and needs, making sure everything went smoothly and that we felt completely comfortable throughout. His creativity and attention to detail really shine through in the final photos, which turned out absolutely stunning. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and can’t recommend Dylan highly enough!

We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Dylan for senior pictures! From start to finish, Dylan made the entire process fun, comfortable, and stress-free. He has a great eye for locations, lighting, and natural poses, which really brought out my daughter’s personality in every shot. The photos turned out even better than I imagined—crisp, vibrant, and full of life. You can tell he genuinely cares about getting the perfect shot and making the experience memorable. I would highly recommend Dylan to anyone looking for high-quality senior pictures and a photographer who truly goes above and beyond!

Look no further Dylan took family photographs for my family and my husband and I were super impressed. Not only could he make our teenagers crack smiles, but he made us all loose and comfortable. He is punctual, a great communicator, creative, and gets your photos back in a timely manner. I highly recommend him for any photography needs big or small.

Live Band Photo's My band was in need of some professional live performance pics so we reached out to Dylan Photo PHX. After comparing bids and speaking with other companies, I found that Dylan was the most approachable, professional and affordable. Our event photo's came out great with many to chose from. Dylan Photo PHX really put in time to make sure he captured just the right shots and was aware of our vision. We recieve our photo's in a timely manner as promised. Dylan Photo PHX is our go to for professional photo's.
