Frequently Asked Questions
Fill out the contact form here and I will contact you back whether or not I have your date available! From there, I will send you my pricing/welcome guide and we will schedule a discovery phone call or a meeting at a local coffee shop! Once you have decided on a package that best fits your needs, I will send you a lawyer written contract. Upon signing your contract, you will pay a non-refundable 25% retainer fee to reserve your date and the remaining balance will be paid 30 days prior to the wedding. I will send you my full wedding guide, go over my questionnaire, and form a detailed timeline. Then I will be anxiously awaiting your big day and I will always be there to help in any way I can to best serve YOU!
My turnaround time for lifestyle shoots is 3-4 weeks. For weddings, it's 8-10 weeks with a hefty sneak peek the week or two after your big day!
Absolutely NOT! I edit all of the photos that turn out. I don't believe in deleting a good photo to limit the amount of editing. I have a minimum of edited photos with all shoots that you can view here. Weddings can differ for each and every one, but I average around 100 photos per hour.
My editing is true to life, preserving natural colors and lighting for a timeless, authentic feel. I focus on capturing real moments - candid laughter, quiet emotions, and all the in-between details that make your wedding unique. My style is a mix of documentary storytelling and gently guided posing, ensuring you look and feel like you. The result? A beautiful, cohesive gallery filled with warmth, emotion, and the perfect balance of soft, natural tones and vibrant, true-to-color imagery with black and whites sprinkled within.
You will be emailed a link that brings you to your online gallery with all of your edited images. You can download them for free in high resolution and web resolution sizes. There are also printing options through my site. The link is easily shareable for friends and family! Please remember to download your full gallery when you receive it as there is an expiration.
I can assure you that you will have FUN! I give you poses and prompts that keep you moving throughout the session and I strive to make you feel very comfortable in front of the camera! I also love to get to know you more during the process while we move from spot to spot! Just let loose, be yourself, and enjoy the time you have together with your family, significant other, or maybe it's just you! I'm all about capturing the authentic YOU with years of posing experience!
If I feel the weather is going to negatively impact the final quality of your images whether it's rainy, muddy, or just too dark, we will reschedule for a better day. I will be closely watching the weather leading up to your date and be in contact with you! I believe a picture with the sun is far superior than when there are clouds. So if my schedule allows for us to reschedule for a sunnier day, I will happily provide you with that option.
Yes, I absolutely love traveling for weddings, it brings me so much joy! You can find my travel pricing details here, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Since weddings and elopements in different locations require personalized pricing, I’m happy to discuss specifics! Plus, right now I have a special offer: if you hire me to capture your wedding at one of my bucket list locations, I’ll photograph your wedding for FREE, with just the cost of my travel to you!
I shoot on two cards for every shoot to reduce the risk of corruption of your photo files. I have extras of all of my gear as well in case of a gear malfunction. I backup onto two hard drives after each shoot and wedding to ensure the safety of your photos while they wait to be edited. Once edited and sent, I keep the raw files for 6 months, then delete them. I always keep all of the final photos.
