Question 1

How can I book you for my wedding day?

Accepted Answer

First things first, get in touch so we can make sure your wedding date is available. If it is, then we can start planning your big day! We will meet for coffee or hop on Skype to make sure you’re feeling 100% confident in your investment. Then, once the contract is signed and the 30% non-refundable retainer is paid, I’m officially your wedding photographer!

Question 2

How far in advance should I book you for my wedding?

Accepted Answer

My availability is first come first served, and I commit to a limited number of weddings each year to ensure I can give my couples the time and attention they deserve. Because of this, I recommend booking no less than 9 months to a year in advance, but I do have brides booking up to 18 months before their wedding day, so booking ASAP is definitely the best way to go.

Question 3

How do you accept payments?

Accepted Answer

Because I want to make this process as convenient as possible, there are aaaaaall kinds of ways to send over your deposit or final payment. I accept checks, cash, money orders, Venmo and Chase QuickPay.

Question 4

When will I receive my final gallery?

Accepted Answer

For engagement and lifestyle sessions, you can expect your photos in 2 to 3 weeks. For those much larger wedding galleries, I ask that you give me 6 to 8 weeks to edit your images and deliver the best possible art from your special day.

Question 5

How many images will I receive?

Accepted Answer

I do my best to guarantee 45+ images per hour. Each image you receive will be edited to perfection and ready to print or share!

Question 6

What gear do you use?

Accepted Answer

You’ll see me rolling up to your wedding day with a pair of Canon 5D Mark ivs on my HoldFast Money Maker strap. My bag is always stuffed with many different lenses for any situation that might arise, including a 50mm f/1.2, a 24-70mm f/2.8, a 70-200mm f/2.8, a 35mm f/1.4, and an 85mm f/1.2. I also come prepared for lowlight or indoor situations with my Godox flash strobes.

Question 7

Do you offer videography?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, we don’t right now, as we are committed to delivering the best of the best in one art form. We do, however, have some wildly talented videographers to recommend if you are looking to hire one.

Question 8

Will you send me all of the photos you take?

Accepted Answer

While we do send you every image taken on your wedding day, we do send every single one that showcases you, your guests, and your wedding day story in its best light. I promise you, if an image is missing there is a very good reason, whether it was out of focus, poorly lit, or someone’s face was doing a weird thing. But don’t worry, you will receive a full gallery of images to love.
