Your Day, 

In Every Detail

Dear Bride,

I know what it’s like to dream about this day.
To imagine how it will feel when you walk down the aisle… how he’ll look at you… how fast your heart will beat as you say “I do.”

And I know this truth: your wedding day will go by in a blur of beauty, laughter, nerves, and joy. That’s why we do what we do.

At White Sands, we don’t just film events—we preserve moments that matter. The kind you’ll want to remember when you're holding hands years from now, or when your daughter asks what love looked like when it was just beginning.

We’re not here to stage your day. We’re here to witness it. To feel it with you. And to give you something that lets you feel it all over again, every time you press play.

With all my heart,
Jaelyn
Co-Founder, Wife, Storyteller, Friend

It starts with a hello. When you fill out our inquiry form, you’re not just booking vendors—you’re inviting storytellers into your day. From there, we’ll hop on a Zoom call to hear your vision, answer your questions, and see if we’re the right fit to tell your story.

1. Connect

When you’re ready, we’ll send over your custom proposal and contract. Everything is handled easily online—quick, simple, and secure. Once it’s signed, your date is officially reserved—and we’re already counting down the days right alongside you.

2. save the Date

Between booking and the big day, we’re never far. Whether you want vendor suggestions, timeline input, or just to share a fresh burst of inspiration, we’re here to support your vision and build trust long before we ever hit record.

3. Stay Connected

About a month before the wedding, we’ll reconnect to walk through your timeline, talk through the details, and make sure everything feels effortless. It’s our way of making sure nothing important gets missed—so the moments that matter most unfold naturally and beautifully.

4. Final Planning

You’ve done the planning—now it’s time to be fully present. We’ll be there quietly documenting the moments as they unfold: the quiet, the joyful, the unexpected. You focus on the people and the party. We’ve got the story.

5. The Big Day

After your day, we’ll edit and handcraft your gallery and film with care. Within eight weeks, everything will land in your inbox—ready to share, save, and return to anytime you want to feel it all over again.

HOW YOUR STORY COMES TO LIFE

Presence

We show up with more than cameras—we bring calm, care, and attention. From the moment we arrive, our focus is on the in-between glances, the natural light, the unscripted emotion. You’ll never feel rushed or over-posed—just supported, seen, and free to be fully in the moment while we quietly document it all.

Preparation

Great storytelling doesn’t happen by chance. In the weeks leading up to your wedding, we’ll learn your timeline, your priorities, and your vision. We plan with intention—down to the light, the locations, and the little things—so the day feels seamless and the moments unfold effortlessly.


Preserved

Once the celebration fades, what remains are the stories we captured. Every image and frame is edited with care, crafted to reflect how it all truly felt. What we deliver isn’t just a gallery or a film—it’s a legacy of love, preserved to relive and share for generations to come.


When will we receive our photos and film?

You can expect to receive both your full photo gallery and wedding film within 8 weeks of your wedding day. We’ve refined our process to ensure everything is delivered in that timeframe—without rushing the creative care your story deserves. Every image is hand-edited, and every frame is thoughtfully crafted to reflect the heart of your day.


Can we book you for just photography or just videography?

Yes. While we love offering a full photo and film experience, you’re welcome to book just one. Every couple’s needs are different, and we’re here to serve yours with the same attention, artistry, and intention—whether it’s photo, film, or both.

Do you work with our coordinator to ensure everything goes smoothly?

Absolutely. Collaboration is everything. We’ll work closely with your coordinator to make sure timelines run smooth and the day stays relaxed. It frees you up to focus on what matters most—and helps us stay ready for every meaningful moment.

What If the Weather Isn’t Perfect?

Unpredictable skies are part of coastal weddings—and we’re no strangers to adapting. With thoughtful planning and flexible pacing, we’ll make the most of whatever the day brings.

How involved are you during the wedding?

In sync with the flow of the day. We step in when needed, step back when we should, and document the moments you’ll want to return to most. While you stay grounded in the day, we stay focused on what matters—no stress, no fuss, just the moments you’ll want to relive.

How do we make things official?

After our initial call, we’ll send you a custom proposal and simple online contract. Once signed, your date is secured, and we’re all in. From there, we’ll stay connected as your day takes shape.
