okay so you are tired of the bull and just want the nitty gritty details to be able to just chill and know that your photographers are going to do everything they say they will and more so here is the process:
We send you sneaks within 3-5 days
Wedding day comes & Its the best day ever
We schedule a Final timeline call
WE schedule a Rough draft Timeline call for wedding day
WE deliver your gallery in 60-90 days bc we don't use AI to select or edit your images
WE KNOW other photographers might be quicker with their deliveries but we do not use Ai to edit or cull our images.
We do not support this method and we take pride knowing every image is touched by a human because your images deserve to be cared for like buried treasure.

My wife and I couldn’t be happier with Xo Golden Photography! They were professional, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. The photos are absolutely stunning, capturing both the special posed moments and candid ones perfectly. Their attention to detail and creativity blew us away, and we've received so many compliments on how beautiful the pictures turned out.
If you want a photographer who will capture your day flawlessly, Xo Golden Photography is the best choice. We highly recommend them!
Thank you so much Jess & Trish! <3

A: We honestly can give you an estimate but on average with an 100+ guest list and 8 hours of coverage you can bet you will receive 600+ images. But if you ask for galleries you will see there are sometimes 1k+
Image count all depends on the amount of activities, time to take photos, amount of details, amount of guests and so forth!
A: Great Question! If something happens to us a trusted photographer will step in as Lead and we will reach out to our trusted network of photographers we've developed over the last 15 years throughout the states depending on where the wedding is and reach out to find a second photographer so no need to fret.... You are in great hands, Golden actually ✨
A: While this seems like a silly question to some... it isnt. We believe that all businesses should be able to state what their morals, beliefs & policies are.
So to answer your question = fuck no... we dont support a p*d* file.
And if that means you dont wanna work with us... good 😊
A: Of course! But As you may have seen our website is LGBTQIA+ CENTERED. That's because LGBTQIA+ LOVE has only been legal since 2015 so while Straight Cis-Het folks have always had the right to get married since the beginning of time.... us LGBTQIA+ folks have only been allowed to lawfully and equally say I do for a little over 10 years. And as Lesbians ourselves we feel its EXTRA important that our community knows they are safe here... and as an ally this should be something to be proud and to know you are booking LGBTQ+ photographer and supporting their efforts to shine light on celebrating ALL LOVE EQUALLY.
Whether you're having a backyard wedding or a ballroom, whether you follow every tradition or none of them...its YOUR story and we want it to reflect that through and through. Honest photos mean you get to see how the day truly happened... the big belly laughs that make you squish up your nose, the shoes kicked off on the floor bc heels after hours of dancing gave you blisters, your best friend droppin it down low, then splitting their pants.... the real, real... that is what we vow to you and if that sounds like the party you want to remember then click that book now button >>>> you wont regret it!
Your wedding is not a backdrop for our portfolio. It's your actual life. And we are here to document it AS IT IS, not push you to perform for trends or algorithms.
No wedding needs to be featured in a publication to be worth remembering beautifully. If you've ever felt like your day or vision wasn't "enough" that ends here.
