Typically, couples book me between 6-12 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 8

Do you take engagement photos?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! In fact, an engagement session is one of the biggest recommendations we want you to consider when hiring your wedding photographer. Besides getting killer images of the two of you, this is the time to start building the relationship with your photographer.

Question 9

How many weddings a year do you take?

Accepted Answer

I do no more than 30 weddings a year. I prefer to provide exceptional service and a personal experience for each wedding couple, which means I choose not to accept multiple back-to-back weddings per weekend. By doing this, I am not limiting myself, rather I am allowing me to fully commit to each and every client.

Question 10

What’s a “first look” and do I need one?

Accepted Answer

A first look is simply a choice to see each other before the ceremony, and have the flexibility and freedom to take all of your wedding party and/or family photos ahead of time.We highly encourage a first look if your ceremony and reception are taking place at the same venue. This will allow you more time for your important photos, and to enjoy your cocktail hour with your guests.

Who is your second photographer?

Accepted Answer

I work with several professional independent photographers that I vetted personally to shoot in a consistent manner.

Question 12

I use several professional digital and film cameras (Contax 645, Fujifilm GFX 50S, XH-1, X-Pro2). A range of professional lenses, and other lighting equipment

Question 18

What happens if you can’t make it to the wedding?

It would take a pretty grave situation for me to miss your wedding. If for some horrible reason I was unable to be there, I will secure a replacement photographer with similar artistic style. If a replacement photographer can not be found, I will give a full refund
