What is a Reveal Party and Design Session?

What is a Reveal Party and Design Session?


This is our way to say thank you to YOU! (and for us to hang out after the crazy fun of your wedding day)

We’ll invite you to our studio. You and your partner will be able to hang out on a comfy couch, eat snacks, and watch a cinematic premiere of all of your wedding photos for the first time on a big projection screen! Then, we’ll help you design your wedding album and your wall art!

When will my Reveal Party and Design Session be?


For all couples with an album included in their collection, I’ll schedule your Reveal Party and Design session three to six weeks after your wedding!

Our studio manager, Karen, will host your Reveal Party and Design Session at our studio in Quincy, MA.

What can I expect during my Reveal Party and Design Session?


You’ll get to see your wedding photos for the first time!
Think… big projection screen, comfy couch, snacks and drinks, and a slideshow of ALL of your wedding photos photographs!

Design your wedding album
Karen will help you select your favorite wedding photographs and design your wedding album with you. You’ll be able to collaborate with her to sequence each of your wedding photos, and then select how you want your wedding album cover looks – everything from the color of the leather to the words you want inscribed! 

Design artwork for your home
Once your album is done, we move onto the walls of your home! Is your home more traditional, where your photos would look best in custom frames? Does it have a cozier and comfy look, and in which case we might want to look into a matte frameless print or a canvas? Is it modern and edgy, where we want a large piece of wall art like a metal or an acrylic? 

Order photo gifts for your family
Many of our couples ask us to help them design a collage of prints for their parents’ home. Some decide to purchase a gift certificate towards an album for their parents to customize and have their own Design Session on their own!

View your online gallery
After your Reveal Party and Design Session, we’ll send you home with a link to your online gallery where you and your family can view your photographs and order small prints for yourselves! :)The second way that you can receive you

How much do couples typically invest in their Wedding Album and Wall Art?


Typically, most of our couples spend between $2000-8000 on album upgrades, wall art, and photo gifts.

Most couples already have a base Signature Wedding Album included, which is a 10×10″ album with the first 20 pages and 50 photographs. Additional photographs are $30 each.
Parent Albums start at $800
Wall Art Singles start at $500
Wall Art Collections start at $1200

Can our Reveal Party and Design Session be virtual?

Absolutely! We’d be more than happy to do a screen share and celebrate with you via a Zoom link!

What if I do not have a wedding album or cannot make a Reveal Party?


No problem! We’ll e-mail you a link to your online gallery!
Though this isn’t as fun as the Reveal Party and Design Session, we understand!

We do ask that once you get the online gallery link to your wedding photographs, that you share the moment of viewing your photographs together, uninterrupted, and without distraction! 

Our team works hard to create these beautiful photographs for you, and we hope that your first impression of your photographs won’t be on phone in your work bathroom. 🙂

How long are most Reveal Party and Design Sessions?

Three hours in total. One hour to review all of your photographs. Two hours to design your wedding album and wall art!

How many photographs will we see in our full set?

An 8 hour wedding day with two photographers will produce, on average, 500-800 finished wedding photographs. 

If you’re thinking about hiring us as your photography team, please reach out and ask to see samples of full wedding galleries that are similar to the vibe of wedding that you’re planning!

Can you retouch a few things in my Wedding Album?


Yes, for simple things, I (Nicole) will handle it, free of charge.

For complex work, we have a skilled retoucher on our team that has a PhD in photoshop wizardry. His hourly rate is $150/hour and he’s happy to give you an estimate for your request prior to starting the work. 

Our studio’s philosophy is producing photographs that are natural and real, but we understand that sometimes there are special things that didn’t happen on the day, and that our couples may want some photographs fabricated.

Do we have the rights to the photographs?


Yes, you have the personal rights to your wedding photographs. The copyright always belongs to the photography studio. This essentially means that you cannot sell your photographs commercially to a company or a brand. 

However, you are more than welcome to make thank you cards, mouse pads, and life-size cardboard cutouts for personal use. 

I’d like to send the photographs to my vendors. Is that okay?


Please have your vendors contact us for commercial usage for your photographs. Often times, a link back to our site crediting our work is all we’ll ask.
