Question 1

What primary photography style do you identify with?

Accepted Answer

My primary photography style is true-to-color. I focus on capturing images that reflect real life as it naturally looks and feels, with clean, accurate colors and timeless editing that won’t feel dated years from now.

Question 2

How Long Have you been shooting weddings?

Accepted Answer

I graduated from Youngstown State in 2013 and officially opened my business in February of 2014. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of photographing hundreds of weddings as a lead photographer, plus many more as a second shooter. Each one has helped shape my experience and love for wedding days.

Question 3

How far in advance should we book?

Accepted Answer

I always recommend reaching out to your photographer as soon as your venue is secured. I typically book one to two years in advance, so the earlier you inquire, the better chance you have of securing your date

Question 4

How long does it take to get our photos?

Accepted Answer

Your full wedding gallery will be delivered within four to eight weeks. I believe your images deserve time and care, so I don’t rush the editing process. I also share sneak peeks on social media throughout the editing process, as long as you’re comfortable with your images being shared.

Question 5

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I absolutely carry full professional liability and equipment insurance. Many venues require all vendors to provide proof of insurance before allowing them on their property. Even if you don’t choose me as your wedding photographer, I strongly encourage you to make sure whoever you hire is properly insured—it protects you, your venue, and your entire wedding day.

Question 6

What if we don't want to use our engagement session?

Accepted Answer

I always encourage my couples to use their engagement session. It’s a great way for us to get to know each other, get you comfortable in front of my camera, and talk through wedding details before the big day. That said, if an engagement session truly doesn’t work for you, I’m happy to transfer that time to your wedding day instead. So if you booked a six-hour collection, it would become seven hours of wedding day coverage, and an eight-hour collection would become nine hours.

Question 7

You sound great, how do I book!?

Accepted Answer

Booking is easy! The first step is choosing which wedding collection you’d like to move forward with. Once your collection is selected, a deposit is required to officially reserve your date (I do not hold dates without a deposit). After that, we can set up a payment plan if needed, with the remaining balance due one week before your wedding.
