weddings
& HONEYMOONS!
Life captured. Moments cherished.
HELLO. I AM VALERIE BOGLE AND I’M VERY HAPPY TO MEET YOU. I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TELL YOU A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF AND WHY PHOTOGRAPHY IS SUCH A PASSION OF MINE. I’ll begin by telling you that prior to my life as a professional photographer, my days were spent as an Art Director, Designer and a Model. I’ve always been drawn to the creative side of things. Throughout my career, I’ve been all around the camera, from conceptualizing and art directing shoots for clients like Publix, Royal Caribbean Cruiselines, as well as most of the Marriott Hotel Brands; Residence Inn, Marriott, Fairfield Inn & Suites, Springhill Suites and Courtyard. Not to mention in front of the camera for companies like Coca-Cola, Florida Tourism, Publix, Kash n’ Karry, Brighthouse Networks, Carnival Cruiselines, and too many more to mention. During this time, my time shooting was for fun, for friends, family and personal vacation photo journaling (which reminds me, don’t forget to ask me about my Honeymoon Photography!!!!). Anyhow, it was clear that in the center of all I’ve enjoyed doing...was a camera! To this day, it is fair to say that one of my greatest passions is still photography. Now I get to share it with you! 813.390.0583 valerie@valeriebogle.com valeriebogle.com
I love meeting with clients and talking (read: gushing) about their big day. I love capturing my couples’ love at their engagement sessions and at their wedding. And I love editing all of their photographs and then creating beautiful albums and keepsakes that they’ll cherish for years. Sigh. I just adore it all. As someone who’s been on the other side of the camera (my wedding was six years ago), I totally understand the excitement, the nerves and even the stress that goes into planning a wedding. Think of me as not just your photographer, but as a friend who will listen to what type of photos you’re after, and give you one less thing to worry about! Unlike some photographers, I shoot weddings in a more editorial and journalistic style than posed although there are always the standard shots to get like the bride & groom with the wedding party and such. But, I focus on getting those moments when people don’t realize you’re watching—ultimately capturing the mood and essence of the bigger story—a stolen kiss, a family hug, a child dancing...the things that are better when not planned. Why so thorough? Because, I believe details are exceedingly important. For that reason, I work closely with you to give you the piece of mind to enjoy each moment, while I’m busy shooting them. After all this day is all about you! I look forward to getting to know you and capturing photos that you’ll cherish for years to come!

THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION!
Before diving into the details about wedding photography services, let me fill you in on my Engagement Sessions! Some of my wedding packages actually include an Engagement Session, so thought you’d want to know more! The most common question asked about Engagement Sessions is,
“What are engagement photographs for? Everyone already knows we’re getting married!”
you have loads of people asking you for pictures of your bling! As for how the Engagement Session works, it’s all pretty straightforward. You and I work together to create a customized session. For example, we can shoot at the place you two had your first date, head to your favorite park or go somewhere that makes you just bubble with love from the inside out. These shoots are typically more lifestyle in nature, but that’s not to say we can’t shoot in the studio if that’s what suits you best.

WEDDING DAY COVERAGE
OK, so I know that selfishly as a professional photographer, I should just tell you to book your wedding with Valerie Bogle Photography and be done with it. For me, though, booking a wedding photographer is a really, really important decision that you shouldn’t take lightly.
First and foremost, I believe that you should book a wedding photographer who captures the types of images you love. In addition, I believe that the wedding photographer you choose should be someone whose company you enjoy. After all, you’re going to spend a lot of time with that person on your big day! They’re basically going to be your shadow! If you love the images you see on my website and in this welcome packet, that’s just one reason why you should book with me. Another reason? You want photos that capture your big day, photos you’ll be proud to share with your friends and family for years to come, and that’ll be exactly what I’m after. If you want to talk further, by all means, let’s meet for coffee..on me!

The coverage you get from Valerie Bogle Photography on your wedding day depends on the package you choose. Every package, though, includes coverage of your actual wedding day (ceremony and reception) with me, Valerie, as your photographer. From there, you can upgrade to additional coverage. I have second and third shooters available for additional packages. More shooters means more images to choose from, so that’s something to consider. You can also upgrade to additional hours of coverage. For example, some brides love to have a photographer there while they’re getting their hair and makeup done, or while the groom hangs with his buddies. No matter what package or add-ons you select, the photos from your wedding day will be beautiful. I take both journalistic/ lifestyle images and also the must-have posed shots. From the moment you secure your date with me, we’ll work together to make sure every single image you want is captured on your big day. Check out page nine and ten of this welcome packet to see exactly what we offer in terms of wedding day coverage. And, as always, if you have any questions you can shoot ‘em at me and I’ll answer them straight away!

TIPS & TRICKS
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Do a trial run of your makeup and hair. Both of you! If you can, photograph yourselves with trial hair and makeup to see how it shows up on camera. Then, make any appropriate adjustments. Choose all the appropriate undergarments for your big day. From your crinoline to your bustier to shape wear, what you’re wearing underneath your dress matters. Those items play a major supporting role—literally! Relax. I know it’s easier said than done, but when you’re relaxed and happy, that makes for some gorgeous photographs! Oh, and enjoy every minute! Be mindful of your posture. When I’m posing you for formals, I have no problem reminding people to stand up straight. However, I can’t exactly interrupt the ceremony to do so! Don’t be afraid to laugh or show emotion. This is your wedding day! Emotion is good! Let the flood gates open...it’s real life, it happens, and it makes for touching photos! Trust me. I’m here to help put you in the best light, the best backgrounds and pose you so that you look your absolute best in every single photo.

FAQS
WHAT IS HONEYMOON PHOTOGRAPHY? This is my latest offering...and I’m SOOOO excited about it! I have found that more often than not couples spend a good deal of money on their wedding, only to go away on an amazing trip to some far off place together for a week or two, and come back with only a handful of photos of them together. This breaks my heart! With my Honeymoon Package, I’ll customize days and times to be on hand, and completely out of your hair working behind the scenes to capture the exciting places you’ll be exploring. It will be done in a photo journalistic style. And upon my return, I will put together a Honeymoon companion album that focuses on some of the highlights of your trip...and all you have to focus on is enjoying every minute! (And in case you’re wondering, there won’t be any personal intimate shots..although I’m sure that goes without saying). :) Be sure to call Valerie to find out more about it!

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK WITH YOU? To book with Valerie Bogle Photography, just send me an email or call me to book. A $1000 nonrefundable deposit is due at time of booking. This locks in your date and ensures no one else can book on the same day!
DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH DESTINATION WEDDINGS OR WEDDINGS OUTSIDE YOUR IMMEDIATE AREA?
HOW LONG UNTIL I GET SEE MY PICTURES? I know waiting is tough, and timing is often dictated by number of shoots happening around the time of your wedding. However, your Photo Premiere will typically take place between 2-4 weeks after your wedding day.
DO YOU PROVIDE A WEDDING ALBUM?
Yes, ma’am! Contact me and we’ll talk details.
Yes! All of my wedding packages include a 30 page wedding album of some sort. You can always add an additional duplicate album onto your package at a greatly discounted cost.
DO YOU PROVIDE PARTIAL DAY COVERAGE?
DO YOU OFFER PROFESSIONAL RETOUCHING?
At this time, i do not offer partial wedding day coverage. Each of my wedding packages provides a different level of coverage, though, so you do have options.
I do include minor retouching with each image purchased. However, if more involved retouching is required, ie. covering blemishes, scars, tattoos, etc, a retouching fee may apply.
