Question 1

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4 weeks after your wedding. But, you can expect to receive a sneak peak gallery the day after your wedding so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.

Question 2

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the package you choose—such as the Premiere Collection—a second photographer may be included. At times, I may also bring an assistant to help out but this will not affect your overall price.

Question 3

Will you edit all our pictures? Do you do retouching?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every delivered image receives professional color correction and tonal refinement to ensure consistency, balance, and a timeless finish. For mid-to-close-up images during key moments, I apply light skin cleanup, subtle blemish removal, and distraction removal where appropriate. The goal is always enhancement without over-altering. You should look like yourself — just your best, most natural self. Each wedding collection also includes 10 advanced retouched images, which you may personally select after receiving your gallery. Additional advanced retouching beyond the included 10 images is available for a small fee.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Typically, couples book me at least 6 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. The sooner you ask the more likely I am to be available.

Question 5

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I offer video services that include everything from documentary-style edits to cinematic highlight trailers. If you choose to add video, I’ll personally oversee my team of trusted videographers and editors to ensure every moment of your day is beautifully captured and professionally crafted while I take your photos.

Question 6

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

Question 7

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, weather, and other factors.

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

In my 6 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled 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 trusted colleagues or contracted shooters who will be able to take care of everything you need.

Question 9

Are our photos safely backed up?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I shoot to two SD cards simultaneously throughout the day for added security. Once I’m home, I back up your photos in three places: locally to a hard drive, online to Dropbox, and I store the second SD card in a fireproof safe. These backups are maintained until your gallery is delivered and you’ve approved it.
