Question 1

Why should we choose you as our photographer?

Accepted Answer

Let’s be honest — there are a lot of wedding photographers out there, and the search can feel overwhelming. First, you should love your photographer’s work — not just like it — because their style will shape how you remember your day. Second, experience matters. With nearly 20 years and over 300 weddings under my belt, I bring not only the skill to deliver a stunning gallery, but also a calm, steady presence to help your day run smoothly. And finally, your photographer needs to fit your budget. I get it, weddings are a big investment, your photos are one of the few things that last beyond the day itself, so choose someone who feels worth it.

Question 2

How many images will we receive from our wedding?

Accepted Answer

There are a few factors that affect this — like the length of the wedding day, number of locations, guest count, and how much is happening throughout the day. That said, on average, I typically deliver around 1,000 to 1,200 images. Every wedding is different, but my priority is always quality and storytelling — so you’ll receive a full, beautifully curated gallery that captures all the moments, big and small

Question 3

Your website says you're based in Wilmington, NC. Will you travel for my wedding?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — I love to travel! I'm available for local, domestic, and international weddings, and have photographed couples all over the U.S. and abroad. My travel costs are additional to your wedding package and typically include airfare, baggage fees, and a moderate hotel stay if an overnight is required. That said, I do not charge travel fees for weddings in North or South Carolina. Planning an elopement or getting married somewhere incredible? I’d love to tag along and document your adventure!

Question 4

What kind of packages do you offer?

Accepted Answer

I offer a variety of Wedding Collections along with À La Carte options, so you can create a package that fits your exact needs. After photographing weddings for many years, I’ve found this approach gives my couples the flexibility to get exactly what they want — and nothing they don’t. While every event is different, all packages include 8 hours of coverage, which I’ve found to be the ideal minimum for capturing a full wedding day story, from getting ready to the dance floor.

Question 5

How do we reserve you for our wedding?

Accepted Answer

To officially reserve your wedding date, I require a signed contract and a 35% deposit based on your selected package. The entire booking process is done online — you'll get access to a personal client portal where you can review and modify your package, sign the contract, and make payments. Your final balance isn’t due until the wedding day, but you're welcome to make payments towards your balance at any time leading up to your date.
