Question 1

What's your style?

Accepted Answer

For most of the day, I have a candid, documentary style. Those are the photos that freeze a moment in time, like someone mid-laugh, wiping away happy tears, or busting a move on the dance floor. These are the kinds of photos I live for—they’re also the ones you’ll cherish the most because they really capture how your day felt. That being said, there are parts of the day that require a bit more posing—those classic portraits that your family and friends will want to frame. Throughout the day, from family photos to cocktail hour, I’ll make sure to snap some classic smiling shots to balance out your gallery.

Question 2

How/when will we get our photos?

Accepted Answer

You'll get an online gallery of fully-edited images within 8 weeks. I know the wait is tough, so I'll send over a handful of sneak peek images within 2 weeks.

Question 3

Do you photoshop our photos?

Accepted Answer

It's a small bruise, pimple, or something that wouldn't be there in a week, I'll do my best to make it disappear. If you have additional photoshop requests after you get your gallery, they are available for an extra per-image fee. Because I believe your wedding should be documented as authentically as possible, I don't offer any major appearance-changing edits.

Question 4

Do we have to use you for prints and albums?

Accepted Answer

Your gallery comes with full printing rights—you are able to download high-resolution images and print them wherever you want. You also have the option of ordering prints, albums, and other products from your gallery through my professional print labs.

Question 5

Can we send you a shot list?

Accepted Answer

A month before your wedding, I'll send over a pre-wedding questionnaire. Here I'll ask for your "formal" photo list—any groupings of family and friends that you want to make sure you get group photos of. I will also ask for a list of any sentimental details you want to make sure to have photos of—whether it's a family heirloom or table numbers your sister hand-painted. For the rest of your day, I try not to work off a list. Instead, I just document the day as you live it.

Question 6

Can we book you for photo + video?

Accepted Answer

I don't offer combined photo and video packages. I haven’t figured out cloning yet, so I (Chelsea 👋) only book one wedding per weekend, acting as either lead photographer or videographer. That being said, I know how daunting it is to start the vendor search process all over. So if you hire me for photography, I'm more than happy to provide some videographer recommendations!

Question 7

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

I do! A certificate of insurance (COI) can be provided to your venue upon request.

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

As soon as possible, especially if you’re looking at a fall or holiday weekend wedding—those dates tend to book up over a year in advance. Once you reach out, I’ll let you know if I’m: a) available. b) other couples with your date have recently inquired.
