Question 1

How many pictures will we get?

Accepted Answer

You will get every photo that I capture that day. I never want to delete any photos that are acceptable because there may be something in the photo that means something to you that I am not aware of. Typically, full weddings can expect between 1500 and 3000 photos depending on how lively the event is or if I have a second photographer.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

As soon as possible. My calendar fills up all year long and if I am available for your wedding day it may not last long. I do not block off any dates until the 50% deposit is paid and the contract is signed.

Question 3

Will you edit all of our photos?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I deliver fully edited galleries to my couples. If there are further edits requested, I will do select images up to 30 without additional charge.

Question 4

How long will it take to get our pictures?

Accepted Answer

The time varies depending on how many photos are captured. In general I promise no more than 5 weeks. I have yet to take that long but it is my worst case scenario time frame. Every couple gets a handful of photos the night of the event, fully edited to post and have while the gallery is being prepared.

Question 5

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

My base package only includes me but I do have options to add additional assistants or photographers. If a second photographer is added, I edit all of their photos with mine so that you get a seamless look across all of your photos.

Question 6

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes I do.

Question 7

Do you offer videography services?

Accepted Answer

Not at this time. If it is requested, I will attempt to get a 3-5 min highlight reel but do not guarantee results so I do not charge.

Question 8

Do you include engagement photos in your packages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every couple that books me for their wedding gets a free engagement shoot scheduled at their convenience based on my availability. I throw it in so that I can get to know the couple prior to the wedding day so that everything goes smoother and I have a feel for their personalities. I do not give discounts to remove it or to those who did an engagement session before booking me for their wedding. My engagement session fee is $350 if not scheduled after booking the wedding.

Question 9

How many hours are included in your packages?

Accepted Answer

There is no hour limit. I give full day price so that you do not have to determine how much of your day you can fit into your budget. I want my couples to get what they have always wanted and be able to look back on the entire day without worrying about times. This also helps tremendously in wedding planning leading up to the day so that you have full flexibility to plan it how you want.

Question 10

Do you offer elopement packages?

Accepted Answer

I do not offer a pre built package but will definitely put one together for you. If you want to get info on a package for your day, please reach out and I will get back to you right away.

Question 11

Do you do custom packages?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! If you would like a specific package, please reach out and I will work with you to put something together that will fit you and your day.

Question 12

Can a family member help you take photos of our event?

Accepted Answer

I will allow a family member with a camera to get additional coverage as long as they do not interfere with the job I am there to do. If you have a family member doing any sort of photography (camera, phone, drone, etc) I will not edit their photos unless an additional fee is paid. I also will not add their photos to the gallery unless an additional fee is paid.

Question 13

Can we print our own photos and albums?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I do not care what you do with your photos once I deliver them as long as you keep them as personal use (print, social media, family and friends, etc.) The only time I would need to be contacted is if you try and use them for commercial purposes.
