Frequently asked questions

GETTING STARTED

The best way to check my availability for your date is by filling out the contact form on my website. I’m currently booking 12–18 months in advance. While I don’t believe there’s a strict “wedding season,” it’s worth noting that June, September, and October tend to book up first.
If your date is available, I’ll send over my investment brochure, which should answer many of your initial questions. From there, we can schedule a call to ensure we’re a great fit.
Please avoid reaching out via DMs, texts, or Facebook messages to inquire about your date. These messages can easily get lost, and I’d hate to miss the opportunity to work with you!
Our first step is to set up an initial phone call to discuss all the details of your wedding and ensure we’re a great fit. This can be done over Zoom, FaceTime, or a regular phone call—whatever works best for you. If you’d prefer to meet in person, I’m happy to arrange that as well. These calls typically last about 45–60 minutes and give us plenty of time to cover everything you need to know.

While we get to know each other, we’ll start talking about the details of the wedding. I’ll run through a sample timeline of what your day might look like based on those details. I know the info you have may be limited, so nothing is set in stone at this point and your timeline will/ might change. This will help you two get a better idea for what your day might look like and how much you want me there. Every person, couple, and wedding is unique, so we’ll make sure that what you choose works best for you.
Yay! I feel so lucky and honored that you want me to document the most important day of your life! The logistics to booking is that 50% of the total amount of your collection and a signed contract is due to secure your date. You’ll e-sign the contract via my client management system and you can pay with credit card through there or mail a check (no discounts are offered for cash payments)

Once all the “official paperwork” has been taken care of, we’ll schedule your engagement session. Engagement sessions are so important to me and because of this, they are in every collection I offer. This is a chance for us to hang out and get to know each other a little more. It let’s me see how the two of you interact and you’ll understand how I work behind the camera. Engagement sessions typically last 90 minutes. If you have questions on what to wear and what location to choose, we can discuss those details after we lock in your date.
About 8 weeks before your wedding I’ll send you a questionnaire asking the who’s who and what’s what of the day. From this information, I’ll create a timeline of your day in terms of photos. We’ll make a family photo shot list to make sure we don’t forget specific combinations of family members. After I’ve completed this rundown of your day, I’ll send you a copy and we’ll review together at our final meeting.

This is where we’ll all get together and talk about the details of the day. We will walk the venue together (ideally) or grab a bite to eat to discuss locations, important photos, and review the timeline together so that we are all in the know. The last thing I want to do on your wedding day is waste time thinking about locations or track down people for photos or miss something you wanted photographed. This meeting will give everyone the information to have a successful, stress free day.
Pop the champagne! All your hard work has paid off and today is the day that you marry your favorite person in the world! We are there for you every step of the way helping you navigate the day while photographing all the beautiful moments and details.

The week after your wedding you can expect a few images for a sneak peek. You’ll receive an online gallery to view your images 6-9 weeks after your wedding date. A customized thumb drive of your engagement session and wedding jpgs will arrive shortly after.
I do not deliver or allow my clients to view the RAW, unedited images. I select which images look best from the wedding day, edit and deliver those (trust me, you’ll see all the great moments!)

This depends on how long we are with you on your day. Typically, you can expect about 75-100 images per hour.
Our relationship does not end when the music stops! I’m your girl for when you start a family, for anniversary sessions, or anything in between. If you want to order an album or prints for your walls, shoot me an email and I’ll walk you through the process and custom design an album for you and help you choose the best size for your photos. If you want to grab a beer just to hang out and catch up, I’m game! I’ve built lasting relationships with all my couples and I’m so happy to hear from you after your wedding, so please don’t be a stranger!
