FAQ

What is Your Style?

I am a lifestyle wedding photographer. What that means is that I capture moments as they unfold in front of me, but also step in and help set the scene for the perfect shot when I need to.  I love the authenticity of documenting your day as it naturally occurs, but also enjoy finding ways to weave your personalities into the photos I take. This is how I find the perfect harmony of classic and modern wedding photography.

What Kind of Weddings Do You Photograph?

I believe that all kinds of love should be celebrated and I welcome couples from all walks of life. I love everyone and believe that love is love!

Do You Travel For Weddings?

Yes! I offer special rates for destination weddings! Please contact me for further information or keep scrolling for more detailed travel details!

How Do I book my date?

After your consultation, I will send over a custom proposal that will include an agreement and link to make an online payment. A non refundable retainer of $1000 and a signed contract are required to book your date. Click here to Inquire!

How Early Should I book?

Most couples book between one year and six months in advance. I am currently booking 2019 and 2020 weddings.

How Do I Make Payments?

All payments can be made online. A link will be provided to you in your custom proposal.

What kind of payment plans do you offer?

I offer monthly or quarterly payment plans. All payments must be made thirty days prior to your wedding date.

When Will I receive my gallery?

I will deliver your gallery 8-10 weeks following your wedding.

Do you have backup equiptment?

Absolutely.

How many images Will I Receive In My Gallery?

On average I shoot between 50 and 100 images per hour during a wedding. From there, I sort through them all and select the very best ones. Each wedding is different and has many variables so it’s hard to say exactly how many images will be in your gallery. That being said, I don’t believe in capping the number of images you receive and want you to have as many incredible memories from your day as possible! If you’d like to see examples of a full wedding gallery to get a feel for what I deliver, I’d be happy to share some with you!

Are you insured?

Yes! I will happily provide proof of insurance for your venue.
