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 work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. For my Paradise Collections, I do bring another lead photographer or videographer to help me capture your day, plus sometimes an assistant as well to help our team run smoothly all day.

Question 3

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening or people removal (or add in) for an additional charge. I personally edit every photo according to my light and airy style.

Question 4

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I offer both photo or wedding film options, plus my #1 couple-preferred combo option--the Paradise Collection (that includes both photo and film).

Question 5

How many pictures will we get?

Accepted Answer

You can expect about 80 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. In 2023, I returned on average 800-1500 photos per 8-10 hour wedding day. It all depends on how many details you have, the size of your bridal party and family, plus any additional events throughout the day. I have returned 1,500+ photos for a 6 hour wedding day before due to the amount of details the wedding had, so it all depends on your day!

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 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, if you choose to cancel my services. I am absolutely confident that my past associates have stepped in for me (during a maternity leave) and did an AMAZING job--I only hire the best! So please know you are my priority and not just a means of income--I truly care about you and your day and I go to great lengths to make sure I give you my all!

Question 7

Do you travel outside of South Dakota for weddings?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I am always up to travel to a gorgeous destination spot to capture your big day! I have traveled all over the US and am very comfortable jumping on a plane to a new adventure. Though I am based in Minnesota and South Dakota for most of my weddings I capture, I am always willing to follow you wherever you go! I do have a list of destination spots in the US and outside of the US where I would capture your wedding day for FREE, as long as you pay for me to get there! Let me know the name of your venue and I can let you know if that spot is on my dream list or not!
