Hello, friends! Marli Johnson here – a wedding and portrait photographer based in the beautiful city of Shreveport, Louisiana. Today, I wanted to take some time to share with you what the experience is truly like working alongside me to capture the most meaningful moments in your life’s journey.
When you choose me as your photographer, you’re not just hiring someone to take pictures – you’re welcoming a supportive friend into one of life’s most intimate celebrations. My approach seamlessly blends professionalism with warmth, putting you at ease from our very first consultation.
The Consultation
The first step is our initial consultation where we’ll get to know each other on a personal level. This meeting allows us to discuss your vision, style preferences, and any specific details you want highlighted on your big day. Honesty and understanding are paramount, as I truly believe we are our most authentic selves when we feel fully comfortable with the person behind the lens.
I’ll take the time to understand your unique love story and provide a comprehensive overview of my wedding packages, ensuring we find the perfect fit for your needs and budget. Consider this the start of an incredibly exciting journey! Learn more about the booking process and my additional services!
The Planning Process
Once we’ve had our consultation, I become your primary point of contact for all photography-related aspects of your event. My extensive experience allows me to adeptly collaborate with you in developing a thorough timeline for your wedding day. I’ll also liaise directly with your other vendors like venue coordinators, florists, and videographers to guarantee a cohesive, stress-free experience where every significant moment is captured flawlessly.
Your Wedding Day
When your long-awaited wedding day finally arrives, I’ll be there bright and early to meticulously prepare every detail before your grand entrance. With a keen eye for lighting, backdrops, and aesthetics, I’ll identify the most picturesque locations for your portraits and candids.
My photography style blends classic portraiture with authentic, candid moments. From your first look and ceremony to the reception festivities, I’ll be documenting it all – the romantic glances, joyous laughter, and heartfelt celebration of your love story.
The Editing Process
Once the wedding concludes, the true artistry begins. I’ll meticulously cull and edit every single image, enhancing colors, tones, and light to perfection. This allows the inherent beauty and genuine emotion of each photograph to be revealed in its most vibrant form. Check out some of my work here!
Your Wedding Gallery
Finally, it’s time for the grand unveiling – your dreamily curated online wedding gallery! This is where you can endlessly relive the magic of your special day through a collection of iconic images that celebrate your love, joy, and once-in-a-lifetime connection.
You’ll have full access to download high-resolution digital files or order printed memories. More importantly, you can easily share this gallery link with friends and family near and far, allowing them to experience your celebration’s most cherished moments.
More Than Just Photos
While my technical skill and eye for timeless imagery are crucial, so is the overall experience we share. I strive to be your biggest champion and cheerleader every step of the way, encouraging you to stay present, playful and focused on the profound beauty of your love.
My wife Lewis and our two children are the heartbeats of my life. That profound understanding of cherished family connections is what drives me to preserve the tender moments and meaningful memories that make up your unique love story.
The Marli Johnson Difference
When it comes to choosing your wedding photographer, I understand this is one of the most important and worthwhile decisions you’ll make. You need someone with an impeccable eye for detail who you can connect with personally. Someone who will protect and prioritize what matters most to you. Someone who will handle your treasured moments with utmost tenderness and care.
That’s what drives my “authentic, steady, and classic” photography style. When you look back on the Images we created together years from now, I believe those photographs should transport you right back to those emotional moments. They should rekindle the very sensations of joy, laughter, beauty, and tenderness you felt in that instance.
For me, that’s the true enduring legacy of photography – the ability to transcend time and reconnect us to the most meaningful experiences of our lives. If that resonates with your vision for your wedding day, I’d be honored to be the one to make it happen.
