Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Typically, couples book me about 12 - 18 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.

Question 2

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant or second professional photographers depending on the size of your wedding and collection booked.

Question 3

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. All final delivery images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.

Question 4

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. However, I do work closely with and recommend vetted videographers with whom I have a great working relationship!

Question 5

How long will it take to see our photos?

Accepted Answer

Turnaround times vary by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view images online about 8-12 weeks after your wedding. Printed products included in your booked collection will depend on print lab delivery. All products and your USB drive will be delivered in person or via mail at the same time. All products must be redeemed within a year of the event.

Question 6

How many images will we get?

Accepted Answer

There isn't a totally set number, we deliver all images that are deemed great! You can expect about 80 to 100 final delivery images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding collection, number of guests, venue type, and other factors on your wedding day.

Question 7

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 8

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

Accepted Answer

In my 11 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I'd be unable to photograph your wedding due to sickness or unforeseen circumstances, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my professional photographer colleagues. All of this will be detailed more in the contract we will cover at booking time.

Question 9

How would you describe your photographic style?

Accepted Answer

I offer a crisp, vibrant, colorful, photojournalistic style of wedding photography. I mainly photograph candidly to capture the true feeling of your wedding day, though I will also spend some time prompting and directing my couples for some more dramatic pictures.

Question 10

My reception space is dark. Do you bring your own lighting?

Accepted Answer

No need to ask! While I typically photograph as much as possible with natural light, once the sun goes down I break out the off-camera lighting to make sure your reception photographs are as beautiful and clear as possible. I’ve photographed weddings in as many different lighting scenarios as you can imagine.

Question 11

Do you photograph micro weddings and elopements?

Accepted Answer

I adore micro-weddings and elopements! Due to the popularity of Saturday and Sunday weddings, I do have a six-hour minimum on Saturday and Sunday. If your intimate Saturday or Sunday wedding is less than two weeks away and I still have the date available, I'm happy to photograph it. Just reach out and ask!

Question 12

What if there is inclement weather? How do you handle that?

Accepted Answer

The Gulf Coast boasts some of the most amazing venues and locations for weddings, but it’s imminent that weather may not always work in our favor. The best way to have no worries is to be prepared! I recommend a back-up location for your ceremony or a tent in case of rain, and provide umbrellas for guests. Umbrellas can make for some fun photos, even if it drizzles outside.

Question 13

Do you provide the original unedited RAW image files?

Accepted Answer

The images in your gallery will be edited to improve color, saturation, lighting, and sharpness, then exported to a JPG format that is easier to handle for online and print — all of which is a standard process for digital photographers. Therefore, I do not provide any unedited RAW images.

Question 14

What are your travel fees?

Accepted Answer

I request travel fees for locations more than 2 hours or 150 miles of Mobile, AL. This way I can commit to spending the day and evening with you and not worry about having to drive long distances late at night. Depending on the location of your event, travel/lodging is generally no more than $350 for the Alabama area. For an accurate estimate for your wedding location, please contact me directly!

Question 15

Do you offer engagement or couples' sessions?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! An engagement session is a chance to get used to being photographed with your partner, as well as working with your photographer. I recommend meaningful locations like an urban area, a beautiful park where you take your dog for a walk, or even the top of a mountain (I’m always up for an adventure)! Some of my collections have these sessions included, or they may be added a la carte.

Question 16

How do we book you for our wedding?

Accepted Answer

Start by filling out my contact form with details about the wedding/event date and location! I’ll follow up with my collections and schedule a time for a discovery call. You'll have the chance to ask questions and I'll get to know you and your partner a bit more! To secure the date, I will send a quote and contract, plus invoice for a 25% retainer. Once both those are completed, I am all yours!

Question 17

What kind of wedding albums do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We love to see your photos come to life, and we have lots of album options. Albums are included in two of our all inclusive wedding day collections. Our wedding albums and books are flush mount, lay-flat style. Albums are leather or linen bound, printed on photographic archival paper. Books are press printed, with leather/linen covers. Custom designed covers and storage boxes available a la carte.

Question 18

Do you retain copyright of photos?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as your professional wedding photographer and the creator of the photos, I will retain copyright of all wedding images, however I always provide an official printing release, allowing unlimited personal use and printing of wedding photos for the couple named in the signed contract. Since copyright stuff is pretty serious and dull, I can’t really make any good jokes about it. Bummer.

Question 19

What do your collections generally include?

Accepted Answer

All wedding collections include delivery of high-res professionally edited digital files with a personal use print release. Available add-ons are wedding albums, photo prints, save the date and thank you cards, gallery wraps, acrylic and metal prints and more. Feel free to ask for more details or challenge us to make something new.
