“Victoria was absolutely amazing to work with! She is very organized, has great time management, and takes beautiful photos! Victoria was available and quick to respond whenever I had a question. She truly cares about her clients and takes into account everything you tell her that you hope for on your special day!”
Kourtney Ellington
2020 VRP Bride
Hey there!
I'm Victoria Rayburn—an Indianapolis wedding photographer .
As a type A, detail-oriented person myself, I know it can be difficult to relax, let things go, and trust that everything will go according to plan—especially on your wedding day.
However, as a VRP bride, with thorough communication before your big day, a custom photo timeline, & a team of meticulous photographers (myself plus second shooters), you can soak up & enjoy your wedding day while knowing that every moment and detail is being thoughtfully photographed.
While I’m based in Indianapolis, I regularly photograph weddings and engagement sessions in Lafayette, Indiana; Chicago; throughout the US; and wherever else you’d like to go!

VRP brides!

to become a VRP bride?!
1
Meet me for coffee to find out if we’re a good fit.
As important as it is for you to find a wedding photographer with a photo style you like, it’s just as important—if not more important—for you to find a wedding photographer you feel comfortable working with and enjoy being around. After all, your wedding photographer will be with you more than almost anyone on your big day!
So, let’s start by meeting for coffee to discuss your big day and wedding photo needs and to make sure I’m the right wedding photographer for you!
Next: Save your date!

Save your date!
If you feel like we’re a good fit after our coffee date, it’ll be time to officially make you a VRP bride. Yay!
You’ll simply need to sign your contract online and submit a 50% non-refundable retainer. Then, the real fun can begin!
Next: Engagement photos!

Get comfortable in front of the camera with engagement photos.
Every wedding package includes complimentary engagement photos. This 90-minute session gives you a preview of what to expect on your wedding day, allows you to practice posing before the big day (This will help us get through photos more quickly and easily on your wedding day!), and captures this special time in your lives. Plus, you can use your photos for your save the dates!
Because I reserve weekends for weddings, engagement sessions are scheduled Monday-Thursday evenings two hours before the sun sets or at sunrise. These are the best times for photos because this is when the light is the softest and prettiest. And, great light is key to great photos!
Next: Design your wedding day timeline.

Design your wedding day timeline.
One thing that worries brides and grooms quite a bit is creating their wedding day timeline. To take some of the stress out of wedding planning, I’ll send you a suggested timeline for your wedding day. While we can absolutely make edits to this timeline, I’ll give you a suggested schedule that will:
- Include plenty of time for photos so you don’t feel rushed or overwhelmed.
- Allow you and your fiancé to have fun and soak up every moment of your wedding day.
- Keep your guests entertained by leaving little downtime.
While the timeline I share with you will largely be photo focused, if you are working with a wedding planner or coordinator, he or she will likely create an even more detailed timeline for you that include things such as arrival time for each of your vendors.
If you are working with a wedding planner or coordinator, I will share the timeline I suggest with your planner or coordinator and work with her/him to ensure there’s plenty of time for your wedding photos.
Next: Check in before the big day.

Check in before the big day.
Four weeks before your wedding, we’ll check in together for one final meeting. Whether we meet in person or chat via Google Meetings, we’ll walk through your timeline for your big day, go over all details, and make sure we’re on the same page. This way, you can relax during your wedding knowing that your wedding photos are under control!
Next: It’s your wedding day!
6
It’s your wedding day!
Your big day is finally here! While you soak up every moment, my second shooter and I will capture it all. From your gorgeous details to both posed and candid moments, we’ll make sure that your wedding photos will help you remember:
- Who you had the pleasure of celebrating your wedding with.
- The special (funny and sweet) moments.
- How you felt on your first day as husband and wife.
Next: Preview photos.

Receive previews of your big day via social media!
As a recent bride myself, I completely understand the anticipation of waiting to see your wedding photos! Because I know you’ll be excited to see, I’ll be sure to give you a few sneak peeks on social media!
The Monday following your wedding, you can expect a few previews on Facebook and Instagram. One week after your wedding, you can expect a full blog post that showcases approximately 100 photos from your wedding day!
Next: Receive your wedding photos!
8
Receive your wedding photos! Yay!
No more than eight weeks after your wedding, you’ll receive your wedding gallery in two ways:
- An online gallery (You’ll receive a custom link you can easily share with family and friends!)
- A flash drive
Next: Order your wedding album.

Order your wedding album.
Your wedding photos will help you remember your wedding day, how you felt, and why you fell in love. But, your wedding photos have another purpose: to help you tell your story to your children, grandchildren, and future generations.
To help you preserve your wedding photos and share your story, all VRP wedding photography packages include an heirloom wedding album.
After you’ve been able to see all of your wedding photos, I’ll design a mockup album for you that you can review online. From there, if you’d like to make changes or add, delete, or swap photos, we will make that happen!
You can learn more about wedding album options here!
