Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Typically, couples book me about 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 also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible.

Question 3

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

You’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 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 4

How many pictures will we get?

Accepted Answer

You can expect about 50 to 80 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 5

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 6

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 make sure you’re covered by one of my experienced colleagues with very similar shooting styles and I will edit all the photos myself.

Question 7

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

I'm currently living in sunny Miami and serving all of South Florida, but constantly traveling, so check my bucket list if you're looking for something international.

Question 8

Will you send the RAW photos?

Accepted Answer

Nope! Photography doesn't only consist of me taking the photos, a huge part of what you see is how I edit. Say you hire a chef and they only give you the raw ingredients. All you get is raw chicken. YIKES! I will include everything I know you'll love, and if you think I missed anything, just lmk! My goal is to have your blind trust, and if you do trust me, you won't ask for the RAWs.

Question 9

How does payment work?

Accepted Answer

A 30% retainer fee is required to secure your date, and the other 70% is due one month before your wedding. You'll be using a system where you can pay directly with your credit card and even set up auto-pay. If you'd rather set up a payment plan, we can work with that too.

Question 10

What if we cancel/reschedule?

Accepted Answer

Your retainer fee is non-refundable, but if you need to reschedule, a 30% rescheduling fee will be applied. Trust me, I don't want to keep your money, it's because once you're in my calendar, I am counting on that to help pay my bills, and might have already rejected other projects for that date.

Question 11

Will you Photoshop us?

Accepted Answer

Heck to the no! My photography is all about capturing you in your element, and in your truest form, but I'll happily get rid of any scars or pimples that wouldn't usually be there. I don't encourage body shaming nor unrealistic ideals, therefore, I will not alter your image. If that's what you're looking for, we're probably not a right match.

Question 12

What if your flight's delayed?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the destination, I always leave 1-3 days in advance. This way, even if my flights are delayed, there's enough of a buffer for me to get there the night before.

Question 13

How do travel expenses work?

Accepted Answer

My destination packages are all-inclusive, but there are different costs for national vs international destinations. No matter what, these always include a roundtrip ticket from Miami to your destination, transportation, hotel stays, and food per diem.

Question 14

Do you help with the timeline?

Accepted Answer

Of course, I work alongside you and your planner! Considering your priorities, we create a stress-free day, with enough time to get you those frame-worthy shots, some alone time with your lover, and leave plenty of room to paaartay!

Question 15

Are travel fees included?

Accepted Answer

Yes, travel packages are all-encompassing. I'm well aware how hectic planning a wedding can be, and the last thing I want is for you to have to worry about my travel expenses. No matter where in the world your wedding is, you can leave it in my hands.
