Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Typically, couples book me about 10-14 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

Oftentimes, I’ll bring an assistant photographer along with me to assist in capturing a variety of photos for your wedding. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you extra and is included in my 6, 8, 10, and 12-hour packages.

Question 3

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I do not, however, include retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening. You may request these after receiving your final images for an additional charge.

Question 4

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

No, I focus on photography only (pun intended), so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. However, I do have some video friends that I enjoy working with and if you are in search of video services, I am happy to send you their info.

Question 5

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 8-10 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a USB drive with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.

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

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 6+ years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a wedding booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
