Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Typically, couples book me about 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. My Traditional Wedding Package includes an engagement session that can be scheduled as soon as you have booked your wedding date!

Question 2

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, I’ll bring an assistant to help with set up and lighting, depending on the size of your wedding. Every package includes the option to add a second photographer for an additional fee.

Question 3

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All final images will be edited personally by me for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful and your gallery is cohesive.

Question 4

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 5

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

You will receive a sneak peek gallery of 50-100 images within 3 days. For your final gallery turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll see your final gallery 4-6 weeks after your wedding. And I guarantee your gallery by 8 weeks.

Question 6

How can I share my gallery and images with family and friends?

Accepted Answer

Your gallery and/or individual images are very easy to share! Simply send the link and anyone you would like can access your gallery, download, and order prints and products.

Question 7

How many pictures will we get?

Accepted Answer

You can expect at least 50-100 images per hour of photography time on your wedding day. I tend to take a lot of images in order to ensure I don't miss a single moment!

Question 8

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 9

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

Accepted Answer

In all my years as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a 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 should you request that option.

Question 10

How do you keep our photos safe and guarantee you don't miss anything?

Accepted Answer

I arrive equipped with multiple cameras, dual memory card slots with one set as a backup, multiple batteries, and memory cards. Your images are backed up first on my duplicate memory card, then uploaded to my hard drive, and saved once again to an external hard drive. That way I have your images kept safe in several different places!

Question 11

What is your approach to wedding photography?

Accepted Answer

I love to make sure you have a gallery full of every amazing moment from your wedding day. I know it can feel intimidating to step in front of the camera, so I give plenty of guidance during portrait time! During the more candid moments of the day, I like to blend in and catch the events as they unfold. This way you have a beautiful mix of images that tell the story of your special day.

Question 12

Can I order prints and albums through you?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Prints, wall art, and albums can be ordered within the store connected to your gallery. They will ship directly to you from a professional lab. I will design a beautiful wedding album to get you started with the design process. You can either make changes and additions yourself, or let me know what edits you would like made. And I will make sure you have the most perfect heirloom album possible.
