Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Typically, couples book me about 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

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes. I have an amazing team of associate and second photographers that are trained in my style. Some of my wedding packages include a second photographer. This is something that will be discussed on our first touch base consult.

Question 3

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge. My style is timeless and true to color as seen in my portfolio.

Question 4

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

I have fast turnaround times! Turnaround time depends on the package- for micro weddings (2-4 hours) turnaround time is 4 weeks. For full wedding packages (6-12 hours) turnaround time is 8 weeks. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. You will receive a your online digital gallery link via email.

Question 5

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. However, I do have referrals for some amazing videographers that I work with often!

Question 6

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 wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.

Question 7

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

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

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 lead shooters. For full wedding packages (6-10 hours) those have a second shooter included. In that event, my scheduled second shooter would take over as lead. I would have another one from my team cover the second shooting.
