Question 1

How long will it take for me to receive my gallery?

Accepted Answer

Wedding galleries typically take 8-12 weeks, espcially during busy season (June- November) to ensure you get the absolute best images from your day! But you will receive sneak peeks 48hrs after your wedding day!

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

I’ve never canceled 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! But myself or a family member would have to be dying for me to ever cancel a wedding!

Question 3

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

100%! All images are handpicked by me and edited to be vibrant and true to color! You picked your wedding colors for a reason and they deserve to be showcased in true-to-life coloring!

Question 4

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

Not at this time but I do know plenty of videographers that would be a great fit for you!

Question 5

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 6

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 7

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

All of my packages come with a second shooter! So you have double the coverage your whole day!

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

Typically, couples book me about 13-24 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 9

What it's like working with me Step 1

Accepted Answer

We Chat! I prefer to schedule a call either by phone or zoom to get to know each other a bit before we move forward in the process. I love it when you ask a lot of questions so make sure you bring them to your consultation! During this call, we discuss your vision, your wants and needs out of your photography, what's most important to you out of your day, and most importantly how you both met! I also tell you about myself so you get a feel for the person capturing your wedding day! You can't get this day back so it's so important we connect on the same level!

Question 10

What it's like working with me Step 2

Accepted Answer

After our call, I send you a proposal based on your needs and the options discussed during our chat! Then I wait! I give you some time to consider your options as this is a major purchase. You MUST be comfortable with whoever is behind the camera and 100% sure who you want capturing your wedding day. Otherwise, you could get back photos you don't 100% love and nobody wants that! You only get awkward photos if you feel awkward with the person behind the camera.

Question 11

What it's like working with me Step 3

Accepted Answer

You decided to move forward! That's amazing and I'm so excited to be working with you! Now that we're a team we schedule your engagement session to help you get even more comfortable with me and in front of the camera. We work on your timeline and other vendors if you need help finding them! I'm here to help your wedding day be as smooth as possible because it can be very overwhelming if you don't know where else to start! We set up 2 consultation calls to go over everything. First about 6 months before your wedding date and the second about 6 weeks before for finalizations to your timeline! Finally lets create some magic!

Question 12

How to you keep my images safe?

Accepted Answer

Back up back up back up! I shoot with dual slots for my sd cards on my camera so every time I click they write to two cards! which are always bought brand new for each wedding. Then as soon as I arrive home they are backed up to an external hard drive and stay on the original cards until your images are delivered via your online gallery!

Question 13

How do you photograph weddings?

Accepted Answer

My biggest goal and passion is to make sure you look back on your gallery and remember all those special moments between the two of you that make you as a couple so unique. It's an honor and a privilege to be a part of your day and that reflects into your gallery. I'm a photographer who understands that this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment for the two of you and I do everything I can to make sure you have something worthwhile and memorable to look back on! I shoot very candidly and documentry but do offer direction if needed. Prompts and mom jokes to get you laughing. Works every time if you feel stuck!
