I won’t be up in your face all day with my camera, making you feel like you’re at a never-ending photo shoot.  Not only do I want you to have beautiful and tangible photos to remember your day but I also want you to enjoy it! I capture events as they naturally unfold while being as unobtrusive as possible.  I also know when to step in and guide when you need help with posing or drawing out a natural response.

I sure can!  If you look at my testimonials, you will see that many clients have said they felt very comfortable and natural taking photos with me and actually had fun! I will show you some quick and easy posing techniques and then help you to focus on each other rather than my camera lens.

I typically don’t because I have photographed enough weddings to know all the standard shots that one would typically want.  Any experienced photographer who knows what their doing will not need a shot list. Plus, if I’m staring at a shot list all day, it’s guaranteed that I’ll be missing real moments. However, I do request a list for family formals and a couple of must-have shots.

Yes, with the exception of images that are duplicate, out of focus, where someone looks awkward or their eyes are closed.  This is industry standard.  Trust me, you don’t want these.

Since every wedding is unique, it’s hard to quote exactly how many images you’ll get. However, past experience has shown about 50-75 images on average per hour of coverage.  But here’s the thing about being too focused on the number of images.  I’m a big believer in quality over quantity.  A gallery of 600 well curated and meaningful images has a lot more wow factor than 1000+ with a bunch of repetitive images thrown in just to justify the photographer’s value.

Turnaround time for sneak peaks is 2 weeks and up to 6 weeks for the remaining images. Delivery will be from a private online photo gallery that you may share with your friends and on social media. Prints may also be ordered as well.

I don’t provide RAW photos. That would be like asking a writer to hand over their rough draft. Would the Harry Potter series be as good if it was released as a rough draft?  RAW images are like a diamond in the rough. They need a little bit of polishing to bring out their beauty. That’s where I come in. Not only are you hiring me to take photographs on your big day but also to apply my talent and skill to the post production process. I carefully go over every photo to make sure I have brought out their full potential. Some photos need more work than others but when the final process is complete and your gallery is presented, they will come out looking like a work of art.

I email you a contract and an invoice for the retainer. Once everything is signed and your retainer is paid, your wedding date is booked. Remaining balance is due 14 days before the event.

I recommend booking with me as soon as you start your wedding planning.  Dates fill up fast and I want to make sure I have your date open.

I help all of my couples come up with a customized photo timeline so that you can bring it to your coordinator when it’s time to finalize the rest of the details.  He/she will then use it to come up with a timeline that coordinates all the events/vendors for the wedding day.

Yes and I am happy to provide your venue with a certificate of coverage if needed.  

Absolutely! I wouldn’t dream of photographing someone’s big day without back-up equipment.

First of all, we do a little happy dance!  Afterward, I’ll be in touch to schedule your engagement session which should be about 3-6 months from your wedding date.  I’ll also be checking in on you periodically to see how the wedding planning’s going and answer any questions.  And of course, I’m just a phone call away if you need anything.
