Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Typically, couples book me about 8-12 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.

Question 2

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. All final images will be edited for my style as well as color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful.

Question 3

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

As a standalone service I do, but I will not shoot both on your wedding day. I prefer focusing on one only, so you can get the best wedding pictures or video as possible.

Question 4

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. There is an extra charge for second photographers.

Question 5

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 6-8 weeks after your wedding.

Question 6

How many pictures will we get?

Accepted Answer

You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.

Question 7

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

Of course I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

Question 8

What’s your back-up plan if you can’t photograph our wedding as planned?

Accepted Answer

In my 10 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
