Question 1

What camera gear do you shoot with & do you have any backup equipment?

Accepted Answer

I shoot with Fujifilm mirrorless cameras, known for their exceptional image quality and reliability. For every wedding, I bring two camera bodies, extra SD cards, multiple lenses, and multiple flashes. This setup allows me to capture a wide range of angles and moments seamlessly. Additionally, having backup equipment ensures I’m fully prepared in case something goes wrong, so I can continue documenting your day without interruption.

Question 2

Will you be our photographer on our wedding day?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I will be the main photographer on your wedding day, and I’m truly excited to spend this special day by your side, capturing all the beautiful moments. From the intimate details to the joyful celebrations, I can’t wait to document your love story and create lasting memories through my lens.

Question 3

What happens if you become ill or have an emergency on our wedding day?

Accepted Answer

Thankfully, I have a strong network of friends in the photography industry, and in the unlikely event that I am ill or face an emergency on your wedding day, I will find a replacement photographer to step in. If your collection includes a second shooter or you’ve added one on, they will take over in my absence, and I will work to find another professional to fill in as the second shooter. Your wedding day will still be covered with the same level of care and attention to detail.

Question 4

What will you wear on our wedding day?

Accepted Answer

When we’re planning your wedding day, I’ll ask about the attire to make sure I blend in seamlessly with your guests. If you don’t have a specific preference, I will default to something professional. Typically, I wear a dark dress or dress pants paired with a nice top—this helps me stay discreet while still looking polished and ready for the occasion. My goal is to be present without drawing unnecessary attention away from your celebration.

Question 5

How long after the wedding will we have to wait to see any photos?

Accepted Answer

I love sharing sneak peeks from your wedding day as soon as possible! You can expect a few highlights either through social media, email, or text within a week of your wedding. When it comes to your full gallery, I take great care in reviewing all the photos to pick the best moments and then carefully edit them to ensure they’re perfect. This thoughtful process takes time, but you can expect to receive the complete gallery within approximately ninety days after your wedding day.

Question 6

What is your attitude normally like on a wedding day? How would you describe your working style?

Accepted Answer

I’d say my style is a mix of type A take-charge professionalism with the friendly, laid-back vibe of a friend who’s there to document your big day. I do my best to keep things moving smoothly and on time, especially when there’s a lot to get done. At the same time, I want the experience to be fun and stress-free for you. I’m there to guide you, but also to make sure you’re enjoying every moment of your wedding day!

Question 7

How many weddings/events do you typically photograph in one weekend?

Accepted Answer

I typically limit myself to photographing one wedding or large event per weekend to ensure I can give each couple my full attention and focus. During my busy season in the fall, I may take on a portrait session or two in addition to weddings. On rare occasions, I might photograph two or more events in one weekend, but I always make sure I can provide the same high level of service and attention to detail for each.

Question 8

Do you allow other people (guests) to take photos while you are?

Accepted Answer

I ask that other people, including guests, DJs, and event staff, refrain from interrupting the portrait sessions so we can stay efficient and make the most of your time on your big day. That being said, I’m always happy to take group photos on someone’s phone if needed. I also don’t mind if people take pictures behind me or to the side, as long as they’re not distracting or getting in the way of the process. My goal is to get the best shots while keeping things moving smoothly, but I’m flexible and happy to accommodate when I can!

Question 9

How long have you been shooting weddings? How many weddings have you photographed?

Accepted Answer

I have been photographing weddings for over thirteen years, with my journey beginning in 2011 when I captured my very first wedding. Since then, I have had the privilege of documenting more than one hundred beautiful celebrations of love. Each wedding has been a unique experience, allowing me to grow not only as a photographer but also as a storyteller, preserving the cherished moments and emotions that make every couple’s day truly special.

Question 10

What is your photography style?

Accepted Answer

My photography style blends traditional and photojournalistic approaches, capturing candid moments as they unfold naturally while also creating beautifully composed portraits. I aim to blend into the background, documenting the genuine emotions and details that make your wedding unique. During portrait sessions, I offer gentle guidance to help you feel confident and look your best, creating timeless images that reflect your love story. My goal is to provide a mix of heartfelt, spontaneous moments and elegant portraits you'll cherish for years to come.

Question 11

Can we see the full galleries of a few of your recent weddings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely! You can view a full gallery to get a better sense of my work. In fact, I’m happy to provide multiple completed galleries from different weddings, showcasing a variety of lighting situations—from bright outdoor ceremonies to dimly lit receptions. This way, you can see how I handle different environments and ensure my style aligns with your vision for your wedding day.

Question 12

Do you include engagement photos in your packages? What about wedding events not on the day of the wedding, like rehearsal dinners?

Accepted Answer

I offer three collections to suit a variety of wedding day needs. The smallest collection includes six hours of continuous coverage to capture key moments, along with all edited digital images. Every collection also includes a complimentary engagement session, allowing us to connect and help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, ensuring natural photos on your wedding day. Additional coverage, such as for a rehearsal dinner or day-after brunch, can be added, as well as the option for a second photographer or an album.

Question 13

Do you offer retouching, color adjustment, or other corrective services? Are those included or an additional charge?

Accepted Answer

Basic editing, including exposure adjustments and color correction, is included with all of my photography services to ensure your images look their best. If you’re interested in additional retouching or corrective services beyond standard editing, I’m happy to provide those for an additional fee. This allows you to customize the level of post-processing to suit your preferences and needs.
