Question 1

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

I split my time primarily between Portland, Oregon and Phoenix, Arizona, but I thrive on travel and love capturing celebrations across the globe. I believe every love story deserves to be told in the setting that feels most meaningful to you—whether that’s a mountaintop in the PNW, a desert sunset in Arizona, or a coastline across the globe. This is why any of my collections include complimentary travel across the United States and am now accepting international destination wedding and elopements around the globe.

Question 2

How would we receive our photos?

Accepted Answer

Once your final gallery is ready, you’ll receive an online link with full access to download your stunning, high-resolution, professionally edited and mildly retouched images. Using this link, it is easy to view, download, share, and even order prints of your favorite moments. From emotional candids to picture-perfect portraits, every memory is yours to keep for a lifetime.

Question 3

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Although we will not edit every single photo we take throughout your day, we offer no maximum number of photos taken, edited and delivered for ALL of our elopement and wedding packages. We carefully sort through the photos of your big day and will deliver all the photos that are up to our professional standards, and that we think you will love! All final images delivered will have been professionally edited and mildly retouched to ensure they look beautiful and can be cherished for a lifetime.

Question 4

Do you offer drone photography?

Accepted Answer

Currently we do not offer drone photography services; however, we are happy to contract one out for an additional hourly cost. Ask us about it!

Question 5

We're a little awkward, but want candid photos. Can you help?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We operate largely using the mantra of "more prompting, less posing", and have worked with TONS of people who feel like they don't know what to do in front of a camera. Prior to your session, or wedding, we will get in touch with you and send you a Get-To-Know-You questionnaire, to help know how to best prompt you in a way that is authentic and true to you. The day of your session we will then guide you every step of the way with fun prompts to get the best candid, emotional moments we ALL are looking for.

Question 6

When's the best time to reach out and contact you if I'm interested?

Accepted Answer

The best time is always now, or as soon as you can! No amount of notice is too much. Sometimes we have the ability to accommodate short notice requests, and sometimes we unfortunately cannot as our books do start filling up 2+ years in advance. The more notice, the better, so we can make sure we are available to help!

Question 7

What is your booking process and how much do you require down?

Accepted Answer

Booking with us is designed to be simple and stress-free. Once you’re ready, we'll send you a single link where you can choose your package, select any add-ons, sign your contract, and submit your retainer—all in about 5–10 minutes. A 15% retainer officially secures your date, and the remaining balance can be paid however works best for you, with flexible payment plans starting at $350 per installment. No endless emails or paperwork—just a seamless process that keeps things easy and streamlined from the very start.

Question 8

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Just let me know if your venue requires it, and I'd be more than happy to send it over.

Question 9

Do you photograph destination weddings and elopements?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I’m based primarily in both Portland, Oregon and Phoenix, Arizona, but my heart is in destination work. I regularly travel across the country (and world!), and even have multiple collection options that include complimentary travel anywhere in the United States.* That means you don’t have to stress about extra logistics like travel fees— instead, you can trust your memories are great hands, wherever your love takes you.
