The Details

01. The Booking Process

All of your contracts, emails, questionnaires, payments, timelines, etc. will all be located in one online portal that you will receive upon booking. To make things official, our booking specialist, Chelsea will be in contact to get all the information she needs to draft up and send over a proposal and payment link to your 25% non-refundable deposit. 

With so many different vendors to book and keep track of, we will keep things as streamlined as possible.

02. Let the Fun Begin

Included will be a copy of my Iris Moore Bridal Guide magazine with TONS of pages of helpful wedding information to get you started. From preparing for your engagement session to a sample wedding day timeline, we’ve got you covered. If you’re looking for vendor recommendations, we are MORE than happy to share some of our favs. Just ask when you book!

Once your wedding date is secure, be on the lookout for a little something fun coming to you in the mail. 

03. Engagement Shoot

This is one of my favorite parts of the planning because we finally get to meet IRL and hang out! If you’re able to make it to Key West for your session, we will go on a “Photo Safari” around the island, hitting some of our favorite iconic spots. You’ll quickly see why this shoot is a client favorite- even for our photo-loathing grooms! 

If an engagement session is part of your package, now is the time to start planning on when you’d like to do this.

04. Preparing

This will include all the details I need to get your photography timeline going - family photos, photo requests, special circumstances, etc. This will help insure everything goes just how you want it to on your special day and what parts of your day we will be there to capture and if you want to add more coverage to your package. 


2-3 months leading to your wedding day, I will send you a comprehensive wedding questionnaire.

05. Your Wedding Day

Our job is to worry about all of that and take care of the details. Just show up, and we’ve got the rest handled. I typically start with the bride and stick with her throughout the entire pre-wedding process. My 2nd shooter will go to the guys, and act as their candid photographer and “wrangler” to keep everyone on schedule. Again, no need to worry about what time it is - we’ve got it all under control!


Finally!!! All your hard work has paid off and it’s time to PARTY! Your job on this day is to forget about timelines, questionnaires, lists, agendas and just ENJOY.

06. After Your Wedding

We won’t bother you during this time, but rest assured we will be working hard at loading and sorting through your photos. Over the next two weeks or so, I will put together a sneak peek gallery of a handful of favorite images from your special day. Your entire online gallery will be delivered within 10-12 weeks of your wedding date. Until then, make sure you take the time to enjoy your status as newlyweds!


Many of you will enjoy a few additional days off the grid enjoying a mini or honeymoon. 

08. Wedding Albums

Sometimes this takes a few weeks to get to, as our schedule can get busy during season. However, once we start the process, I’ll give you all the details on how to pick your photos and edit all the drafts. But, make sure you complete this within a year of your gallery delivery date, as prices change and we have to adjust accordingly. If your package did not include a wedding album, you can always add one on, a la carte at any time, or even get one as a gift for your parents!

If your package includes a wedding album, we will begin the album designing process as soon as you are ready.

“DREAM TEAM PHOTOGRAPHY!!!!! Iris and her team were amazing. The sneak peaks are beautiful and I have received so many compliment already. Easy to work with between myself and our wedding party. Very good with communicating with the bridal party as far as posing and ideas for photos. We communicated via email very responsive. Sent us a detailed list of photos was wanted in advance from family pictures to couple only photos. Was lucky to have her for our January wedding in Key West.”

Iris,

Oh my goodness. I am so in love with all of these! You are SO FAST! Thank you again so much. I can't wait to get these printed. I will never stop looking at them. They are just so perfect. You are so talented!! If we ever need pictures again and happen to be in KW we will definitely call you =). 



Do yourself a HUGE favor and book Iris as your wedding photographer as soon as you can. I cannot overstate how comfortable Iris made my fiance and I feel on our wedding day. Iris is overwhelmingly warm and kind in addition to being professional and tactful. She made taking posed photographs - which can often be strange and uncomfortable - feel so natural and fun. During the reception, I had several guests comment on how discrete and unobtrusive Iris’s style of photography is. She truly felt like just another friend attending my wedding. Iris also delivered BEAUTIFUL fully edited sneak peeks of our wedding photographs less than three days after our wedding to hold us over before we receive the finished gallery. The pictures blew away any expectations I had. They are absolutely stunning with beautiful natural light and authentic poses and I have never felt more beautiful. THANK YOU Iris for being a wonderful photographer and for capturing the wedding of my dreams!

“Iris was more than we could have asked for in a wedding photographer. She was incredibly responsive and helpful during the planning period and shared so much advice and tips with me (outside of photography). Iris and Arlette were so much fun to work with and they really made my husband and I feel comfortable and normal on our wedding day. I was nervous about being too stiff and awkward, but they work magic and made it a great experience for us both. Iris has an amazing eye for details and capturing beautiful shots, posed or candid! Her photos are stunning and we are so happy to have worked with Iris. You can't go wrong!”

“We absolutely LOVE Iris! We’re from Ohio and did a destination wedding in Key West. We looked at many photographers but really loved Iris’s style. We chose our package and a year before our wedding went to Key West to do our engagement pictures. She was so much fun and listened to the things we liked. We got our engagement pictures back very quickly and they turned out incredible.”

Arianne & Kyle 

Iris,

We are speechless! 
These photos are more than we could have ever imagined! You and Arlette truly captured each moment perfectly. I knew when I picked you that our photos would turn out perfectly!!!!
We were a rowdy group and our wedding was more than we could have ever imagined. Each time we look at these pics we will be able to relive that day, especially that wild dance party in the rain!

After the wedding so many of our guests were complimenting you and Arlette and how professional and organized you were. All my bridesmaids said they wish they could have you for their weddings :) 

Should Kyle and I ever need photos taken when we are in Key West we know who to call :)

What are the next steps in securing you for our wedding date?

Once you have confirmed your date and are ready to book, our team will send you a digital proposal that outlines all included in your wedding package. Once you have confirmed everything is correct, you will electronically sign and send back to us. At that time, you will also make a 25% deposit payment through a secure online portal that accepts any major credit card. Once both of these are complete, you will be officially booked! Be on the lookout for something coming in the mail to kick off this amazing, fun journey to "I Do"!  

As we get closer to our date, is there anything we need to do to better prepare? 

Once you book, I will send you a comprehensive guide that will help you better prepare for your wedding and know exactly what to expect with your photography coverage. From first looks, to sample photography timelines, to family photo lists, you'll be able to educate yourself on all items related to photography for your wedding. 

Wedding FAQs

Is editing included in your pricing?

Yes. All images are fully edited for lighting, color, slight skin softening and minor photoshop edits. Given the large amount of photos you receive, additional, more complex photoshop requests may require an extra charge. Please be aware of tan-lines and burns, as sometimes these edits become difficult and time-consuming - delaying the return of your photos. Our team does their best to catch any untucked shirts or stray hairs during picture time, but somet things may go unnoticed. Please note, fixing these issues post-edit takes extra time. We do not sell RAW images. 

When you book an associate photographer, you are getting the same experience you would if you booked with Iris as your photographer - the planning, client relations, timeline building, phone calls, delivery of images, etc. When we get closer to your date, Iris will connect you with your photographers (2), so you have the opportunity to schedule a phone call or FaceTime. They will be cc'd on all the finalized planning, so they are on the same page. If you are in town, we can even schedule a meeting with your lead photographer, whom you will know who it is at the time of booking. We have portfolios for all our associate photographers, which is located on our website. We pick your team based on availability. They all have worked together over the years, so they are a well-oiled machine for you! Most all of our associates have their own independent businesses, but their edit style makes their final product look very different than what Iris Moore Photography delivers, so we do not share their personal social medias to avoid any confusion.

When is my final balance due?

Your final balance is due 30 days out from your event. You will be automatically reminded by the electronic invoicing system we use. 

Is there a limit to how many photos you will shoot?

It's difficult to give an exact number because certain parts of your day are being shot at varying rates. But, on average, we deliver around 100 images per hour. You will receive images fully edited and ready to print. 

What does the 6 hour package cover?

What kind of experience should i expect when working with an associate photographer?

All of our wedding day coverage is consecutive (we do not allocate coverage throughout the day with "pauses"). 6 hours allows for some getting ready coverage and pre-ceremony portraits (first-look, bridal party, family formals), followed by ceremony, cocktail and the beginning of your reception (typically, enough to cover all the formalities -toasts, dances, cake cutting, etc.). There are not as many breaks for the couple or cushion for timing with this package. A sample photo timeline for 6 hours of coverage is as follows - PLEASE NOTE, EVERYONE'S TIMELINE WILL BE DIFFERENT, THIS IS NOT WHAT YOURS WILL SPECIFICALLY LOOK LIKE, IT'S JUST FOR REFERENCE   
     3:30pm - Getting ready coverage begins (Lead shooter w/               bride & 2nd shooter w/ groom) - details, robe shots, fun                   candids, etc. 
    4:15pm - Bride dressed - followed by solo portraits of bride or        any first look photos with family and/or bridesmaids 
    4:45pm - B + G First Look - a few portraits of couple to follow
    5:00pm - Bridesmaid photos to happen w/ lead shooter while        2nd shooter to take groomsmen photos 
    5:00pm - Groom photos with his guys & solo portraits   
    5:30pm - Entire group bridal party photos                      
    5:45pm - Formal photos complete - everyone hidden away &          freshen for ceremony
   6:00pm - Ceremony - formal family photos to follow at                     ceremony - couple to join cocktail hour upon completion 
   6:30pm - Cocktail hour - end of cocktail hour pull B + G for               sunset portraits, depending on what time sunset is on your event
   7:30pm - Reception - all formalities to occur before photo leaves
   9:30pm - Photography coverage ends

What does the 8 hour package cover?

How are my images delivered?

Images are delivered to clients through an online private gallery. You will have the ability to download and share all images in their full resolution format - no downsizing occurs at all, so you can print as big as you would like. 

What is a private online gallery?

Is there a requirement to purchase anything additional from you, such as a photo album or prints?

If my wedding is tiny, do I still need 2 photographers? Can I do less than 6 hours?

How soon will I get my pictures back?

We notice your prices are higher than other photographers in town. what makes you different?

Your private online gallery is an online platform for you to view, share AND download all your digital images. It's a very user-friendly program that allows clients to download all the images from their wedding, directly to their personal device(s). The images are full-resolution, ready to print files. The program is almost like a high-end dropbox, but it is desinged for wedding photography. You can download individaul photos, or all the photos at once. There's even web-sized versions of photos that can be downloaded, so all your social media posts look great! You can share the link to the gallery to anyone you'd like, and they can also download any photos they like (easier that having to burn CDs or send USBs to family/friends). 

Nope! Some packages include albums. You have 1 year to complete your album before you have an extra $150 charge (prices increase yearly with our manufacturer). We will send you a reminder to complete your album before your due date. If you do not have an album included with your package, you still have the option to purchase one. Please note, album pricing is discounted when included in the package. Additionally, we do offer prints and all different types of products, which are directly available through your online gallery. However, you have the rights to print through any company. 

Absolutely! We encourage couples to pick a package that fits with their initial budget if they know they want to get on the books. You can upgrade at anytime. This usually happens after we send out our photography questionnaire (60 days out), which will give you a better idea of all the things you want captured throughout your event.

We know how excited everyone is to get their wedding photos back and relive their day! So, our team works VERY hard to return photos as quickly as possible. To hold you over, we deliver a sneak peek gallery within the first 2 weeks or so of your wedding. This includes around 100-150 images - plenty to hold you over an highlight your day! However, because we value the quality of your images, it takes us around 10-12 weeks to get your fully edited gallery delivered.

Why would I want the unlimited coverage package?

Trust us, you'll want to read this

With 8 hours, you have a little bit more cushion with timing throughout the day, allowing you to avoid the feeling of being rushed. 8 hours allows us to spend extra time on photographing details during the getting ready portion of your day, pre-ceremony portraits (first-look, possible photos around town, bridal party, family formals), followed by ceremony, cocktail and generally your entire reception, ending with a special exit (sparklers, etc.). A sample photo timeline for 8 hours of coverage is as follows - PLEASE NOTE, EVERYONE'S TIMELINE WILL BE DIFFERENT, THIS IS NOT WHAT YOURS WILL SPECIFICALLY LOOK LIKE, IT'S JUST FOR REFERENCE   
     2:30pm - Getting ready coverage begins (Lead shooter w/               bride & 2nd shooter w/ groom) - details, robe shots, fun                   candids, etc. 
    3:30pm - Bride dressed - followed by solo portraits of bride or        any first looks with family and/or bridesmaids 
    4:00pm - B + G First Look - portraits of couple to follow (option      to go around Key West and get some fun photos)
    4:00pm - Bridesmaid photos to happen w/ lead shooter while        2nd shooter to take groomsmen photos 
    4:00pm - Groom photos with his guys & solo portraits   
    4:30pm - Entire group bridal party photos 
    5:00pm - Family formal photos                  
    5:30pm - Formal photos complete - everyone hidden away &          freshen for ceremony
   6:00pm - Ceremony - formal family photos to follow at                     ceremony - couple to join cocktail hour upon completion 
   6:30pm - Cocktail hour - end of cocktail hour pull B + G for               sunset portraits, depending on what time sunset is on your event
   7:30pm - Reception begins
   10:30pm - Sparkler exit to end the reception

I don't need an engagement session or welcome party/rehearsal coverage. Do you offer discounts or wedding day coverage substitutions?

Can I add or change my package after I book?

With destination weddings, travel is usually involved. So, some couples make a whole trip out of their wedding with multiple events taking place throughout a week's span. This package is covers all your events (room to work on customizing if necessary) at a very discounted rate on hourly coverage combined. This package is also tailored for couples that have a reception that extends past 11pm or are interested in "after party" pictures downtown. 

All of our packages are designed to best fit the needs of our clients based on the countless number weddings we have shot. While we don't offer substitutions for engagement/rehearsal coverage, we do offer couples the ability to use the coverage as a separate portrait session (anniversary shoot, family, maternity, etc.) within two years of your wedding date. You also have the option to order two 16x20 framed prints instead, as well. 

Iris Moore Photography prides itself on being a high-end experience from start to finish, not just a photographer that shows up on your wedding day. This is something that is very important for our couples duirng the wedidng planning process, as it is can be very overwhleming, stressful and unfamiliar, especially if it is happening from afar. Over the last decade, we have realized that it takes a village to run a business at top performance, not just one person. So, our pricing reflects the workings of a full team, not just an individual. Our team has made it possible for Iris Moore Photography to offer a seamless, transparent, fun and dependable experience for all of our clients, from booking to post delivery of your images. All of our employees have stuck with us from the beginning because of the loyal, supportive, positive and fun environment we have been able to create - something that really stands out to our clients as they work with all of us along the way. The countless hours the entire team puts into making sure you are getting exactly what you want is something invaluable, in our opinion. With 4 associate photographers that are born and raised in Key West, we have a unique relationship with local vendors and the island itself. Making our clients feel like they are part of our island's One Human Family atmosphere the second they reach out to our team. Iris, herself, has made sure that each member of her team feels supported, appreciated and respected, which has created an atmosphere that translates to the client-vendor relationship. Our pricing makes it possible for Iris Moore Photography to provide for her team at a level required to maintain that type of atmosphere. 

I am getting married outside of Key West. Do you travel? Is there a fee?

All of our packages include a second shooter. We do not offer any wedding day coverage without two photographers. The second shooter not only acts as a photographer, but also as an assistant, direction and right hand man to the lead. 

Although we live in paradise, we do love to travel to other paradises! If you are having a destination wedding outside of the Florida Keys, let us know, and we can give you more information on our travel packages. Otherwise, the following travel fee's apply:
