Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Typically, couples book me about 6-13 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 photographers depending on the size of your wedding.

Question 3

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

I am undeniably an over-deliver...er, when it comes to your final album. The only photos you are not receiving are the ones where eyes are closed, hair is in the way, flash didn't fire, or someone walked in front of the camera. I am a true believer in that you should have any and every photo from your day, every little silly moment that is captured with quality will be in your gallery.

Question 4

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 4-6 weeks after your wedding. All weddings and elopements will also receive next-day sneak peaks!

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

In my 5 years of experience 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.

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

Are the travel expenses included in your packages or covered additionally?

Accepted Answer

If your wedding, elopement, or session are in the 50 mile range of Bozeman or Livingston, no additional travel expenses are required. Any sessions requiring travel do not include transportation or lodging fees in the package price and will be determined on a case by case basis.

Question 8

How much is the deposit, and do you offer payment plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and yes! The deposit for your wedding, elopement, or session, is 20% of your total investment to hold your date. I do offer payment plans and will work with you to find a structure that will best suit you!

Question 9

We want something in-between a Full Coverage Wedding and an Elopement. Do you have a package for that?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Most weddings and elopements are a custom price based on location, length, size, and expectations of the photographer. I work with you to come up with a price that is fair for what your perfect day looks like.
