Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

I recommend booking one to two years before your wedding. The one-year mark is when my dates really start to fill up. I accept a limited number of weddings each year, so the sooner you book the greater chance you have of getting your date.

Question 2

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

I always work with a second photographer. This allows us to cover both parties getting ready simultaneously, moments right before and after walking down the aisle, both reactions during a first look, and simply more angles and moments are captured.

Question 3

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

I personally do not offer videography services, but I have worked with a ton of amazing videographers over the years and would be more than happy to give you some referrals!

Question 4

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Engagement sessions take about 1-2 weeks for photos to be done and the turnaround time for weddings is 4 weeks (with a sneak peek in just a few days!)

Question 5

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. If your venue requires a certificate of liability I am more than happy to send it over.

Question 6

How many pictures will we get?

Accepted Answer

You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.

Question 7

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. All final images are edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful.

Question 8

What’s your back-up plan if you can’t photograph our wedding as planned?

Accepted Answer

This has never happened in my photography career. I take the responsibility of being your wedding photographer very seriously. In the rare instance I can not photograph your wedding, my second photographer would become the lead. We would also find a replacement second photographer of the same quality and level of professionalism. I am part of multiple organizations which leaves me with a large network of exceptional photographers. Your wedding would be covered.

Question 9

What does all-day coverage mean?

Accepted Answer

Plainly put, we are with you for as long as you need us. Typically, we begin coverage about 1.5-2 hours prior to your ceremony or scheduled first look time and conclude after you cut the cake or dance your last dance. No need to try and squeeze your day into a certain number of packaged hours. We will build a timeline together to figure out exactly when you would like coverage to start and end.

Question 10

What kind of deposit do you require?

Accepted Answer

A $1,200 retainer and a signed contract are required to book your date. 50% of your balance is due ninety days before your event, with the final balance due 30 days prior to the wedding. Custom payment plans can also be arranged at the time of booking.
