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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"By far the most professional company that’s out there. He went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I were cared for, heard, and to make the most amazing wedding film. Don’t look any further, Matt is the best out there!"
"I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience I had working with White Sands Weddings.... I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality photography and a seamless, enjoyable experience. Thank you again for your outstanding work!"
"If I had to sum up everything in one sentence: You will never find someone else who will treat your wedding as if it's their own, like Matt will do for you."
I can't recommend Matt Oakes with White Sands Weddings. You will not be disappointed. Matt... thank you from both Paul and I for capturing our special day!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Your love story is already unfolding—let’s plan how we’ll capture it.
