FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
+ DO YOU travel for weddings?
Absolutely! I love going to new and interesting destinations especially to shoot weddings. Travel rates are based on the destination and include roundtrip flights for one or two photographers, three to four nights stay, and local means of travel (rental car, bus/train, guide).
+ Do I need a second photographer?
I’m confident I can capture your wedding day by myself but, you might want a second photographer for any of these three reasons: 1) You have more than 150 guests.2) You and your partner are getting ready in locations that are far away from eachother. 3) You want more angles and more photos delivered.
+ what part of the wedding will you be photographing?
Wedding packages are flexible and include between six and twelve consecutive hours of coverage, and it’s completely up to you to decide when you want those hours to begin. Typically this is enough time to cover 2-3 hours before the ceremony and all the way to the end of the reception.
+ What photos do you usually capture?
I go by a shotlist that I customize for every client. With that said what you want, or more often what you don’t want shot is completely up to you. You can download my shotlist template by CLICKING HERE. I bet there are a few you didn’t consider.
+ HOW MANY PICTURES WILL I RECEIVE?
The number of photographs taken depend on many things - number of guests, hours of coverage, types of events, and so forth. My average for an eight hour day with a second shooter is 650 images, but that number may vary depending on the day itself.
+ Do you include engagement photos in your wedding packages?
Yes! Every wedding package includes an engagement shoot. Its a great opportunity to to get comfortable with each other before the BIG DAY.

+ DO YOU OFFER ALBUMS?
You and your fiancé just spent months of your life planning and thousands of dollars for one of the most important days of your life. We know all too well how easy it is for digital files to sit in the cloud or on your hard drive collecting dust, waiting to be printed off. Personally, we think you should walk away from it with something tangible to display your investment. However, we will never pressure you into buying something you don’t want.
All of our albums are made entirely by hand by bookmaking craftsmen in the USA, using top of the line leathers and fabrics, binding agents, papers, and professional photographic printers. The printers are calibrated to our own computers, ensuring a perfect color match and crisp, vivid images. Our albums are guaranteed against defects in workmanship and are built to last through years of flipping through your photo story over and over again.
+ CAN WE MEET WITH YOU BEFORE WE BOOK?
Yes, I highly recommend it! Let's setup a meeting. I like face-to-face, or we can set up a Skype/FaceTime webcam chat at a time that is convenient for you. You can Schedule a free 15min chat.
+ WHEN SHOULD WE BOOK YOU FOR OUR WEDDING?
ASAP! I can’t “hold dates” or “pencil you in”. Most of my commissions contract me within a year of their wedding date.
+ WHAT IS THE PROCESS TO BOOK YOU?
You can secure your wedding date with a signed contract and a non-refundable deposit of $1,000. The remaining balance will be split into one or two payments and is due 14 days before the ceremony. Begin your journey.
+ DO YOU HELP WITH THE WEDDING PLANNING PROCESS?
Absolutely! I’ve shot countless weddings/elopements (and am married myself!) so I know the industry & how a wedding day should look to run smoothly! Let me know what you need help with, if you need recommendations, and if there’s anything I can do to make the process easier for you!
+ WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
I accept checks, Visa/MC (3% fee for cc), wire transfer, cash, Venmo, PayPal.
+ WHAT IS A COPYRIGHT AND CAN I PRINT MY IMAGES ANYWHERE I WANT?
As photographers, Under the U.S. Copyright Law, we own the copyright of the images. We have taken them, edited them and uploaded them. They are our art and as artists, we want to make sure they aren’t resold, stolen or given out to anyone to use. It isn't to hold your images hostage, but to protect the integrity and quality of the images. Most of the time, a bride just wants the usage rights to print her images and share them so we have a print release license that comes with two of our collections for you to do so. If your collection doesn't come with a print release, you will either have to purchase the print release for all of the images, or purchase prints through us. If your collection does come with a print release, we have an awesome lab we would suggest using. Places like Wal-Mart and Walgreens have much lower quality ink and paper, and won't do your picture justice . They also auto adjust images not expecting you to bring in professional quality images. This changes the look you hired us for! Keep in mind, whether you have High-resolution or Low-resolution images, you can order prints through our professional lab, knowing that are the very best in the industry.
