I get it- choosing the best photographer for you can seem overwhelming. Before you book I urge you to read these FAQ to help clarify any questions or concerns you may have!
If you are considering hiring me to be a part of your day, please know that I take my job very seriously. I understand it may seem like a large investment, but I always strive to produce the highest quality service for all of my clients. I value you, your time, and money and I expect the same respect in return. Your wedding is just as important to me as it is to you! I go above and beyond to create an experience because I never want to be seen as just a vendor that shows up on the day. Rather, I’m someone who invests heavily in creating and capturing everlasting memories for you because you invested your trust in me.
What steps do you advise we take before booking you or anyone else?
My biggest piece of advise is to ALWAYS ask to see a full gallery from me or any other photographer for that matter. Do not book someone solely based off of their instagram posts. Anyone can choose one solid photo to post! A photographer is telling a story of your wedding day and you want to make sure you like the way the story is told. In addition, please take time to speak over the phone or FaceTime before moving forward. I always make sure to do this with my couples because I firmly believe choosing a photographer is like choosing a wedding dress. It has to be the perfect fit for you. I will be following you around all day and you want to make sure the chemistry is there. 50% of what I do is behind the camera and computer. However, the other 50% is the environment that WE create together. If you connect with your photographer, you will get far better photos than someone who doesn’t vibe well with you.
We want you to tell our love story! What’s next?
After you have looked through my website and your are ready to move forward, simply go to my contact page and fill out your information! Your inquiry will be sent straight to my manager, Bailey, who will get back to you within 24 hours! Depending on where your wedding is, Bailey will then send a questionnaire for you to fill out. This helps us get a better idea of what we can offer you, so please fill out as much as possible! Afterwards, Bailey will send you a brochure. She will also try to set up a time for you and me to speak over the phone so that we can discuss your day further and get to know one another more! As I said above, I want to make sure that I am the perfect fit for you and visa versa!
Then you can select which package works best for you. A 50% non-refundable retainer fee is required to reserve the date. The rest of the payment is due 1 month prior to the big day.
How many photos will we get?
Each wedding is unique and I try my best to capture as much as I can. I would rather underpromise and overdeliver for my couples. Therefore, I will never give a cap of images I deliver, but I can guarantee 50 images per hour! Quality over quantity!
Do you deliver RAW photos?
This is always an interesting conversation. I do not typically deliver RAW photos because in my eyes it’s like asking for a sketch of Picasso’s work rather than the final product. Not that I am Picasso haha! But, you are paying me for my service and how I edit is a part of that service. Therefore, all of the images I deliver will be the best of the best, high-resolution edited images. However, if you are persistent on having the RAW images I will certainly not deprive you of that request! It will just be an additional cost.
How do we receive our photos?
Once your photos are ready, I will send you a link to an online gallery where you have access to download all of your high resolution edited images. Feel free to share the link with friends and family as well!
What is your turnaround time?
As I said before, your wedding or session is very important to me!! I want to deliver the best possible product to you in a timely manner, as well as spend the time it takes making sure your gallery is next to perfect. With that being said, I love sending sneak peeks the week after the wedding because I know how excited you are to see photos. When it comes to the full gallery, I promise 2-3 weeks for photo sessions and 12-14 weeks for weddings/elopements.
Do we have rights to our photos?
Once I send your gallery, you have full rights to download, print, and use your photos for personal purposes! I highly recommend printing your images because there is nothing like seeing an image from your special day framed on the wall or in a photo album! Every client has a personal print shop attached to their online gallery to make this process super easy!
