Question 1

How do you help us prepare for our wedding day?

Accepted Answer

I stay in close touch with both you and the planner throughout the entire planning process. After our first discovery call you'll have unrestricted access to me as often as you need. I also have a complete wedding photography guide to help you prepare long before the big day. And even if you never read a word of it, I've still got you covered. A couple months before the wedding day I send you a brief questionnaire that covers any and all bases. It helps me make sure I have all the information I need to plan your timeline. It also lets me bother you both as little as possible with questions, just one and done!

Question 2

We get a little nervous in front of cameras, how do you make sure we look our best?

Accepted Answer

No need to worry at all! In over 7 years of photographing literally thousands of different people, I've never once met someone who felt truly comfortable in front of a camera, so you're not alone. I myself have yet to figure out the secret! That still hasn't stopped me from making countless couples and people look their absolute best. My style is very laid-back, I enjoy giving prompts over poses and letting the person in front of the camera take it wherever feels most natural for them. Our favorite photos of ourselves are usually the ones we feel represent us most authentically, so I try to encourage that on every shoot.

Question 3

Do you have options for a second photographer?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. My girlfriend (read: fiancée) of six years has been by my side at most weddings I've shot and is just as well-versed. My base prices do not include a second shooter, but I can handle most weddings on my own. However if you're planning on having a larger event with over 200 guests or so, I would highly recommend adding on a second shooter.

Question 4

How many photos do we receive? Will they be edited? Can I have the raw photos?

Accepted Answer

8 hours of coverage for me usually yields about 400-500 photos without a second shooter. They are all edited to represent your day as closely as possible while also making you and your loved ones look your best. I don't give out raw photos for the simple fact that most couples won't even have a way of looking at them without proper software. You can rest assured you will receive every usable or meaningful photo I take, even the blurry ones.

Question 5

How long does it take for us to get all of our photos?

Accepted Answer

My record so far is next-day delivery but typically about 2-4 weeks. I don't understand where the notion that couples should wait months for their photos came from, but that won't be happening here.

Question 6

How do I book my wedding date?

Accepted Answer

Once your wedding date is sealed and you've selected your proposal, I send over a contract for you to both sign. After you've signed and I've countersigned, it's a 50% deposit of your total balance and you're booked! The remainder is due one month before your wedding date.

Question 7

Your prices are a bit steep, do you have payment options?

Accepted Answer

If 2020 taught us anything it's that our finances are never guaranteed. So if you and your partner need a little flexibility with your payments, I'd be more than happy to help in any way I can.
