Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Typically, couples book me about 8-12 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. If I am available on your date, it's yours!

Question 2

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

For weddings other than elopements / micro weddings, second photographers are always in your package. I analyze all other wedding scenarios and bring additional photographers or assistants as needed.

Question 3

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. All final images will be edited to match my style to ensure they look beautiful and as expected.

Question 4

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

I partner with my sister and her husband's business, Happy Haven Studios! We have an awesome package deal where we work together on your wedding day. We make the best team, that's what you get with family! :)

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 6-12 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a full online gallery for constant access and 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 150 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 the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll do everything in my power to make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant/second shooter. One of the many perks and assurances of providing second shooters with my larger wedding packages. 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 if needed as well.

Question 9

How do you describe your wedding style?

Accepted Answer

soft, joyful, and timeless. I strive to stay true to color, while allowing your colors to pop.

Question 10

Is a deposit required to book?

Accepted Answer

Wedding deposits are 25% of your package. Once your deposit is received and your contract is signed, we can begin our process & your date is officially saved for you!
