Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Most couples book 12–18 months out, especially for popular spring and fall weekends in Boston. If your date is sooner, definitely still reach out—I sometimes have last-minute availability.

Question 2

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

I typically work solo so I can keep the coverage natural and unobtrusive. If you’d like a second photographer, I offer that option—great for larger weddings or when you want extra coverage of different angles.

Question 3

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every photo you receive is edited by me for color, tone, and style so it reflects the candid, documentary look you see in my portfolio. I don’t send unedited or RAW files.

Question 4

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I specialize in hybrid photo-video coverage, so alongside photos I can also create short highlight films that capture the movement and energy of your day without needing a full video team.

Question 5

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

I deliver a handful of preview images within a week. Full galleries are delivered within 2-3 weeks of your wedding

Question 6

How many pictures will we get?

Accepted Answer

For a full wedding day, most couples receive 600–900 edited images. The exact number depends on your coverage and what unfolds during the day.

Question 7

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I’m fully insured, and most venues in New England require that from wedding vendors.

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

In the rare event of an emergency, I have a trusted network of professional photographers I can call on to step in. You’d still receive the same editing and delivery from me so your final gallery matches my style.

Question 9

What makes your style wedding documentary photography?

Accepted Answer

It’s candid and grounded in real moments, not poses.

Question 10

Do you photograph weddings outside Boston?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. While I’m based in Boston, I also cover weddings across New England, including North Shore MA wedding venues, Cape Cod, Rhode Island, and beyond.

Can we print the images?

Can we customize a package?

Definitely, I offer collections for everything from Boston elopements to full weekends.

Question 14

What’s included in full-day wedding photography coverage?

Typically, it takes 8+ hours to cover everything from prep to dance floor.

Question 15

What’s your payment structure?

A 30% retainer secures your date. The balance is due one week before the wedding.

Question 16

What time should photography start?

Question 18

Do you take family group shots?

Question 19

What’s your editing style?

Accepted Answer

Natural, warm, true-to-life tones that feel timeless, not trendy.
