Question 1

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 2

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

I work with both an assistant and a second photographer. There is no additional cost to have them at your wedding. My assistant acts as my own personal wedding planner. She keeps us on time and runs all my errands and lighting. My second photographer performs the typical role of getting shots of the groom, family, reception, etc. There is no additional cost. I do ask my B&G to cover their meals during the reception.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Typically, couples book me anywhere from 3-months to 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.

Question 4

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. All final images will be edited in Lightroom for color, saturation, exposure, cropping, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services through Photoshop like blemish removal, object removal, face swapping (if possible), skin smoothing, and slimming for 50-100 selected images you choose to go into your album.

Question 5

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

My turnaround time varies by season. All my B&Gs get a sneak peek within 72 hours after their wedding. These are about 10 retouched (Photoshop) images that highlight major moments from your day. It's a fun way to get my B&G excited to see their final photos. Photos gallery are typically ready within about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. B&Gs receive all images in a beautiful online gallery as well as on 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 50 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

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

Thankfully, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding and it's an emergency situation, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted second photographer. I will ensure your services are covered and edit the images myself. If a cancellation occurs prior to your wedding date, I will provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
