Frequently Asked Questions
DO YOU OFFER VIDEOGRAPHY SERVICES? I only offer photography services so that I can devote all my time to providing you with the best quality images of your special day!
WHAT IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE? My style is mainly natural light photography. However, I also have the knowledge and equipment to use strobes when necessary.
HOW DO I BOOK YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES? I always love to meet with my clients to thoroughly discuss the details of their wedding day, see their wedding day vision, and answer any questions to build a custom photography package catered to each clients needs. After our consultation meeting you can secure a date with me by signing a contract and paying a retainer.
WHAT DO YOUR WEDDING PACKAGES INCLUDE?I have several wedding packages with built-in savings that contain the most popular items requested by clients, however I love to meet with my clients to discuss their day and build a custom package to suit their individual needs. From elopements to all day coverage, you can choose from many items to accompany your photography coverage such as an engagement photoshoot, wedding albums, wall canvases, prints, and other personalized gifts.
DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE? You bet! And plenty of it. Many venues require liability insurance. Proof of insurance for you or your venue is available upon request.
DO YOU HAVE BACKUP GEAR? Most definitely! I arrive to every event prepared with an extra camera, lenses, batteries, memory cards, lights, and flashes to ensure that photography for your event is covered no matter what.
DO YOU WORK WITH A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER/ASSISTANT? ALL of my wedding photography packages include a second shooter who may sometimes double as my assistant. For larger events, I also know many great wedding photographers to call upon if additional photographers are needed to capture every moment of your day. I have shot weddings for clients that included as many as four photographers!
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL I RECEIVE?In an average 8 hr wedding day, you'll get 350+ edited images. I do not have a specific limit on the number of photos I deliver. So many factors can affect how many photos are needed for storytelling, such as the length of your wedding day, size of your bridal party, number of guests, and elaboration or beautiful simplicity of your decor/detail items.
HOW ARE MY PHOTOS DELIVERED?Your photos will be delivered to you in high resolution via online gallery which you can use to download your photos, share with family and friends and order prints.
HOW DO I ORDER PRINTS? You can easily order prints in your online gallery to be delivered directly to your home from a professional printing lab with the click of a button! Your friends and family can do the same! You may also download your photos and make prints yourself, however this in not recommended for prints larger than 4x6 size, as the quality of paper and ink used at printing locations such as Walgreens, Walmart, etc. are not as high quality as those used by professional printing labs.
WILL I RECEIVE EVERY PHOTO YOU TAKE AND DO YOU PROVIDE RAW FILES? Although I will absolutely capture and provide you with every important moment from your wedding day, you will not receive EVERY photo I take. I only provide my clients with high quality edited photos that represent my work. I do not give my client blurry photos, multiple duplicate photos, photos in which you have your eyes closed and an unflattering facial expression, or any photos in which you or your guests do not look your best. I do however provide you with every great photo that I captured of every special moment of your day, you and your guests, decor, detail items, ceremony and reception from multiple angles. Trust me when I say you get the best of the best! Which is also why I do not provide raw files to my clients. Every photo is chosen and edited with great care to have a beautiful finish. Raw images are unfinished images, and are meant to be professionally edited. Providing raw files would be like a baker providing flour and eggs to a client that hired them to bake a wedding cake!
WILL MY IMAGES BE "PHOTOSHOPPED"? The photos you receive will each be carefully edited to correct color and white balance, straightened and cropped, and given an artistic look as seen here on my website. Retouching services (AKA "Photoshop") such as stray hair removal, blemish removal, editing people out of photos or body alteration are NOT included in my wedding photography services, however they can be provided for an additional fee. This is a common question I get asked about before the wedding, but rarely asked after the wedding as often small blemishes and imperfections cannot be seen in the final product. For reference, none of the images on my website or social media are "Photoshopped." :)
