Question 1

How far in advance should we book you for our wedding?

Accepted Answer

I take bookings up to 1.5 years in advance, with most couples booking me 1 year in advance for weddings, and 3-6 months for elopements.

Question 2

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

All delivered images are fully edited. This includes color correction, crop/straightening, exposure, etc. Light retouching is included such as skin smoothing, but heavier retouching may incur a fee. I never "photoshop" anyone to look different than their natural selves, unless requested.

Question 3

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible.

Question 4

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Completed galleries will be availabile within 8 weeks for weddings, and 6 weeks for elopements. You will also receive several "sneak peek" images within a week (because I know you can't wait to see them!)

Question 5

How many pictures will we get?

Accepted Answer

You can expect your final gallery to have an average of 75-100 images per hour of coverage. Every wedding and elopement is different, so I don't limit the final number of images you receive!

Question 6

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

Question 7

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the timeline of the day, if I find the need for a second photographer I will have one with me! I always want to do what is most beneficial for your special day and the final outcome of your gallery. For bigger sized weddings, and most 8 and 10 hour days, I do usually end up needing an extra pair of hands and eyes.

Question 8

Do you offer additional coverage?

Accepted Answer

My packages are for continuous coverage, and cannot be split up throughout the day (for example: 2 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the evening). No matter what package is booked, I devote that entire day to you! If you are needing additional hours beyond your package, they can be added on for $550/hour

Question 9

Do you help with planning?

Accepted Answer

I don't consider myself a wedding planner, but I will do everything I can to help make sure you have the day of your dreams! I will gladly help with things such as vendor recommendations, timeline planning, and location hunting. I love to be involved, and share my knowledge and expertise!

Question 10

How do you keep our images safe?

Accepted Answer

My workflow process ensures the security of your irreplaceable memories. I shoot on double memory cards and always have back up cameras/lenses. Following your event, I back up all images on double hard drives as well as cloud storage, including the edited gallery when it is completed. My clients privacy is always priority. Online galleries are password protected, and if you would like to keep your images private I will always respect that.

Question 11

Do you offer prints and albums?

Accepted Answer

You are able to purchase high quality professional grade prints and other products such as albums through the store attached to your online gallery. All products have been hand picked by me to ensure quality, and accurate color to my edits. I love helping design wedding albums and offer that to my couples at no extra charge! For convenience, I do provide a limited print release that allows you to print elsewhere at your leisure for personal use, at any time.
