Frequently Asked Questions
Do you Travel?
I LOVE destination weddings and events! I'm happy to create custom packages to fit your wedding or event plans. Travel and accommodation fees are included in destination packages, so you won't have to worry about any extra costs!
How long have you been doing this?
I've been a Photographer since 2016 and started shooting weddings in 2018.
How many photos do I get?
For weddings and special events, you'll receive a Digital Gallery with all of our best work from your special day. Of course, the longer you book us for, the more images you'll receive. For portraits and branding packages, you'll receive the number of images in the package you select.
How do we get our photos?
Your photos will be delivered digitally in a personalized, password-protected online gallery.
Do you retouch/edit photos?
Great question! I'd say 10% of the way my photos look comes down to the way I edit/retouch my photos. The other 90% is pure skill and technique used while shooting. Unlike other photographers, I strive to get it right "in camera" and I've invested a lot of time and resources into learning what makes a great photograph. Each photo receives basic color correction (if needed), cropping, adjustment for lighting etc. I meticulously frame and adjust my camera settings to give all images the vibe you see in my portfolio.
What's your turn around time?
Typically, the turnaround time for wedding galleries is approximately 4-6 weeks. During peak season (May-Nov), it may take up to 12 weeks, but we promise it'll be worth the wait! :) For special events and portraits, the turnaround time is 7-14 business days. Occasionally, your gallery may be ready sooner depending on our workload.
How do we book you?
The first step is to schedule an initial consultation. After our consultation, I will electronically send you a quote outlining what we've discussed. If that looks ok, approve the quote and I'll convert it to an invoice. I require a small retainer fee to secure your date and the remaining balance is due 48 hours prior to your wedding date. Dates cannot be reserved unless your retainer has been received. If you have more questions, contact me and I'll send you all the info.
How far out do you book?
We typically book weddings up to 12 months in advance. Portraits & Special Events may be booked no more than 6 months in advance.
What should we do for our engagement session?
Just simply show up! I'll take care of the rest. It helps if you have a location already in mind at the time of booking, but I'd be glad to do location scouting for you! Travel fees apply. :) And no need to worry about posing or being camera shy, I'll make sure you both look great!
What should I wear?
Great question! For individual portraits, solid colors work best (no lines or patterns). For couples, your attire should be color coordinated and not necessarily "matching". It also helps to dress for the season and the location. It's important to be stylish, yet comfortable. Contact me and I will send some examples.
