Question 1

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

I carry full insurance because I take your wedding day—and the trust you place in me—very seriously. My business insurance keeps my LLC protected and meets all industry standards, while my personal equipment insurance covers my gear, whether I’m working or shooting for fun. Your peace of mind (and your venue’s!) is a top priority. If your venue needs a certificate of insurance, just let me know—I’m happy to provide it!

Question 2

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

You’ll get a preview of your photos as early as the next day with most packages, so you can start reliving the magic right away! While my contract guarantees delivery within 8 weeks, I typically deliver galleries in 2–4 weeks. I know how important your memories are, so I work hard to deliver them quickly without compromising quality. Plus, I securely store all photos, including undelivered ones, in perpetuity. This ensures your images are safe and accessible for future edits or requests.

Question 3

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Every final image is carefully edited to ensure consistency and quality, with adjustments to color, exposure, sharpness, and more. If you’d like further edits in the future, I’ll always have the original files ready to revisit. Your photos will be polished to look their absolute best and reflect your vision perfectly!

Question 4

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

I specialize exclusively in photography to ensure I can give my full attention to capturing your day with the highest quality and care. While I currently do not offer video services, I have had the pleasure of working with many talented videographers and would be happy to recommend professionals who can provide exceptional video coverage!

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

I take my commitment to your wedding day very seriously and do everything in my power to be present. In my years of experience, I’ve never had to cancel, even foregoing personal moments, like a close friend’s sudden funeral, to honor my responsibility to couples. That said, unforeseen and horrible circumstances can arise. To ensure full coverage, I highly recommend a package with a second photographer for added perspectives and backup equipment. If I can’t attend, I have a trusted network of skilled photographers ready to step in and ensure your day is captured beautifully and seamlessly.

Question 6

How many pictures will we get?

Accepted Answer

The number of photos you’ll receive depends on the length of your wedding day and the package you choose. On average, I deliver between 75 and 100 fully edited images per hour of coverage. My goal is to capture every meaningful moment, from the big events to the small, intimate details that make your day unique.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

I recommend booking as soon as you’ve set your wedding date, especially if it falls during peak wedding season (spring, summer, or fall). Many couples book me 12 to 18 months in advance to secure their date, as my calendar can fill up quickly. That said, if your wedding is sooner, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m happy to check availability and would love to capture your special day if I’m free!

Question 8

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I love working with assistants and second photographers to ensure your day is captured from every angle. Having a second photographer not only provides additional perspectives but also adds an extra layer of coverage and peace of mind. I highly recommend selecting a package that includes a second photographer, as it’s a service I’m thrilled to offer to make your wedding day photography even more comprehensive and seamless.

Question 9

What makes me different?

Accepted Answer

I’m endlessly curious and always looking for new adventures. I love tacos, a good bourbon, and getting my hands dirty tinkering with projects. During COVID, I taught myself how to rebuild a car engine—and it started on the first try! I’m also SCUBA certified (sharks are incredible), an avid hiker, and passionate about astrophotography. I’m always learning, exploring, and soaking up inspiration. If this sounds like your vibe, let’s connect! I’d love to get to know you and document your first look, first kiss, and first dance in a timeless and authentic way.
