Faqs

1) What is your style?

I would best describe my style as light, airy and romantic. I believe in romance and portraying your love through your photos.

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

My Calendar fills up fast so you should plan to book as soon as possible. I book as far as 2 years in advance. If you are booking in a shorter time frame please call or email to ensure your date is available.

3) How long does it take to receive our photos?

Turn around for a regular 1-hour session is up to 2 weeks and weddings are 6-8 weeks

4) Have you shot at our location before?

I have photographed at several locations so chances are I have been to your location. I do I LOVE shooting at new venues as well. Seeing new locations with fresh eyes is very valuable. As a creative professional it is like having a blank canvas to work on and the sky is the limits. If I have not been to your location before, I feel confident that I would do an excellent job capturing it. I would also be happy to visit your location with you prior to the wedding day if you feel more confident in me doing so. If your wedding is out of town, I will do all I can to scout it out prior to your wedding day.

5) Do you do videography too?

No, I provide photography only. I prefer to do the absolute best job and provide the absolute highest quality of work for you. I am solely focused on your wedding on capturing beautiful moments that you will preserve for the rest of your life. I would be more than happy to refer you to some wonderful videographer companies out there.

6) Do you shoot religious, non-religious, and same sex marriages?

Yes of course! It is my pleasure to document your celebration of faith, non-faith, or orientations

7) Will you stay later at my wedding if I need you to?

Of course, I will! Providing that I don’t have to be somewhere I would be happy to stay later. This is signed as part of the contract in terms and conditions.

8) Do I supply you with a meal on the day of the wedding?

If your photography package exceeds 4 hours of coverage, it is expected that a meal is provided, or that I am able to excuse myself to get some food.

9) I don’t photograph well and I am super awkward- can you help me?

Yes, of course! I understand that you might not have experience being photographed and I’m here to help. Through my easy shooting style and natural posing, I make sure that you look natural and lovely in your photos. Some people take a little longer to warm up, and in those cases, I make sure that you feel comfortable and relaxed while we are shooting. I promise to make it painless and fun, and it won’t be nearly as bad as you may think. Any fun facts that you can give me about yourselves will help me get to know you throughout the session

10) We want to book you. How do I reserve my wedding with you?

Once you have selected a package that works best for you, I will send you a contract to sign and instructions on how to pay your deposit. I cannot hold any date without a signed contract and deposit.

11) Do you only photograph Weddings?

Of course not! I have a studio in my home or would love to meet you on location for all the following: Maternity, Newborns, Children, Cake Smashes, Family, Seasonal Minis (Christmas etc), Headshots, Boudoir, Promotional or any other creative ideas
