Question 1

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

Sure do! I will send my insurance info to venues upon request from the venue via email!

Question 2

Do you offer video services?

Accepted Answer

I do, but as a separate service. I typically work on my own or with 1-2 other photographers, so I typically have my friend capture video while I capture photos. Extra charges apply for video services.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Most couples book me at least 6 months in advance to a year in advance, especially if they need engagement pictures! I’ve had a couple people book me 2 years in advance and for micro-weddings (5-30 guests) I’ve had couples book me 2-3 months before their big day. It truly all depends on the event type, but in order to guarantee your date being available, I always recommend to book me a year or more in advance to secure your date.

Question 4

What’s required for booking you?

Accepted Answer

I always love to have a phone call with my potential wedding clients to make sure we click! It’s not necessarily needed to book, especially if you already know you like my work, but I’m definitely more into calling than emailing back and forth about the wedding details because I like to connect with my clients on a deeper level and truly understand their needs. For booking though, you would need to: pay a $375-$500 non-refundable retainer fee (which is taken off the final wedding package total) and a signed contract with all your wedding details listed in there. This would include your wedding date, the package you’re choosing, etc.

Question 5

What happens if there’s a rowdy guest? How is that handled?

Accepted Answer

This happens more than you think! I’ve seen and dealt with all kinds of problems on wedding days and let me just say- it’s not your problem to deal with it’s mine and the coordinator’s job! Your job as the couple is to be calm, cool, and collected, enjoying your big day. If there truly is a guest or even a stranger (yes it’s happened before haha), then I’ll roll up my sleeves and have a calm discussion with them about their behavior. If someone needs to be kicked out of the venue for their behavior after being talked to, then we would ask for your permission, but other than that, your day should be fun and full of beautiful memories!

Question 6

Do you work with other photographers?

Accepted Answer

I do! I have an amazing team of photographers and cannot believe how lucky I am to be able to work with such talented artists!

Question 7

Do you offer Drone Photography and Videography?

Accepted Answer

Sure do! As of this year, I am officially able to offer drone photography and have a drone ready to use at any event! It's small and pretty quiet, but takes amazing pictures!

Question 8

How many pictures will we receive? How long does editing take?

Accepted Answer

Editing varies per wedding, but it's typically 50 edited pictures per hour and additional 50-100 edited pictures with a second photographer. BUT- these are just the minimums! It's usually a LOT more than this! Editing time for 2026 and beyond clients will be brand new and unique! I plan to stick to 12 weeks for editing time, but will give each client access to a personal countdown on their gallery, as it could be a lot sooner!

Question 9

Do you send sneak peeks?

Accepted Answer

Sure do! I send sneak peeks 24 hours after your wedding day! Sometimes-if I'm feeling ambitious- I'll send them that same night!

Question 10

What happens if you can't photograph our wedding as planned?

Accepted Answer

I have a ton of photographers I'm friends with in every state in the US that would be willing to help me last minute if something happened, BUT- I have never had to not attend a wedding before (knock on wood). I always have a ton of backup plans and options on hold in case of emergencies, but again- I've never had it happen before and don't plan on there being a scenario where that needs to happen. If I broke every bone in my body, I would still try and find a way to still make it to your wedding, as that's just how I am :)
