By Jordan Gensler Photography | Editorial Wedding Photographer | Atlanta + Beyond
Welcome! I’m so honored to be part of your story. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, this guide is designed to help you feel confident, stylish, and fully present on your big day — with photos that reflect all the magic of it.
Here’s how we’ll work together to make that happen.
⸻
01. Your Vision, Your Legacy
Before anything, I want to get to know you — your story, your vibe, and the feeling you want your wedding to have. Whether it’s elegant, modern, romantic, or whimsical, your vision shapes the photography.
What to Expect from Me:
• A pre-wedding consult to align on must-have moments and editorial inspiration
• Timeline support to maximize beautiful light and flow
• A calm, grounding presence throughout your day
• Images delivered in color + timeless black & white edits via Pic-Time with print shop access

02. Engagement & Pre-Wedding Session Style Tips
These sessions are where we get comfortable, have fun, and capture your chemistry before the wedding. Think of it as a date — just with a camera.
What to Wear:
• Neutrals and earth tones photograph beautifully (avoid loud logos or neons)
• For women: flowing dresses, statement sleeves, soft fabrics, and layers add movement and elegance
• For men: fitted blazers, muted button-downs, or elevated casual (think: linen or cashmere)
• Avoid matchy-matchy; instead, complement each other’s tones
Pro Tip: Bring two outfits — one dressy, one relaxed — and I’ll help you choose which works best with your location.

03. Timeline Tips for Picture-Perfect Flow
Light matters. So do emotions. I help you build a timeline that ensures we get both.
Ideal Photography Windows:
• Details + Getting Ready: Allow 45–60 mins before you dress to photograph flatlays (invites, rings, perfume, heirlooms) + candid prep moments.
• First Look: If you’re doing one, schedule at least 30–40 minutes with some privacy.
• Golden Hour Portraits: Aim for 30 minutes around sunset — the light is soft, romantic, and incredibly flattering.

04. The Editorial Touch
This isn’t about stiff poses. It’s about artful direction that makes you feel natural, elegant, and confident.
Posing Philosophy:
• I guide you with prompts, not rigid instructions.
• I pay close attention to hands, posture, and connection to make your portraits editorial and emotive.
• My goal? For you to look like yourself — just a little more cinematic.

05. Delivery & Beyond
After the day is over, I get to work curating your story. You’ll receive:
• Sneak peeks within 72 hours
• Full online gallery within 3–4 weeks
• Heirloom album design services if included in your package
• Guidance on printing, sharing, and preserving your images for future generations

Your Story Deserves to Be Beautifully Told
You’re not just hiring a photographer — you’re investing in how this moment will be remembered for the rest of your life. I’m here to help you feel at ease, look amazing, and receive images that feel effortless, timeless, and full of emotion.
Let’s create something unforgettable.
