Question 1

Do you allow guests at the elopements?

Accepted Answer

Yes you are welcome to invite up to 15 guests to your ceremony portion of the day as long as the location we choose allows it! I would be happy to walk you through all of this during the planning portion of our time together!

Question 2

How much do you help plan?

Accepted Answer

I will help you as much or as little as you desire me to be involved! I take on a very limited amount of elopements so I have more time to pour into each client! I will be available to you every week via email for any questions that arise. We also schedule 1-3 Zoom or in person meet-ups to plan your elopement together after you have filled out the elopement questionnaire. Typically, I come to these planning sessions with example timelines, location ideas, and suggested activities already worked up so that it is easier on the couple. I also can recommend places for dresses, hiking back packs, etc to make your day more special and practical!

Question 3

What Add-ons do you offer?

Accepted Answer

I offer the following: - Add me (a licensed cosmetologist in the state of Michigan) to do your Bridal Hair - Add me to Officiate your wedding - Add on a second shooter (my husband fills this role to keep the group intimate and make sure everyone works well together. You are welcome to meet him on our planning calls as well) - Add on a wedding album or buy prints and products

Question 4

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I do not give Raw photos or unedited photos. My elopement packages include all good images, edited and delivered via an online gallery.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

I typically book a year out but there are occasions I book farther out, or not as far out. The latest I would advise booking would be three months out, so we have time to get paperwork in order and properly plan!

Question 6

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. I do occasionally add a reel or short video but I do not do videography.

Question 7

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

You will get sneak peaks within three days of your elopement (sometimes same day) and this usually consists of 20 images. Then, you’ll be able to view your full gallery online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. The maximum time it would take would be 8 weeks, in the case that something in my life comes up, like an emergency.

Question 8

How many pictures will we get?

Accepted Answer

You can expect about 50 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your elopement package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.

Question 9

What is your pricing?

Accepted Answer

My packages start at $4,000 and are packed with value! For a limited time I am offering each of my packages at 50% off until I book each one of them. Once I have booked three packages, they will go back up to full price.
