Frequently asked questions
It all began with a simple idea fueled by a deep passion. As a small business, we pride ourselves on personal attention and dedication to every detail. Our approach is rooted in quality and integrity, ensuring that everything we do reflects our commitment to excellence.
Do you shoot destination weddings?
Yes, I absolutely love traveling all over the U.S.! To provide an accurate and fair travel fee, please share your destination, event details, and preferred lodging options, as costs can vary significantly depending on the location, travel distance, and your accommodation preferences.
Will there be a second shooter?
Yes, all wedding packages come with a second shooter to help capture even more special moments throughout your day.
Can I extend the session on the day?
Yes, an additional fee of $150 per hour will apply.
What kind of gear do you use?
I utilize multiple Canon Rebel 7 cameras, along with a range of lenses and tripods, to capture each important angle with precision. For clear, reliable audio, I use a dedicated lavalier microphone paired with a Zoom H1N recorder, enabling close, detailed recording of vows while minimizing ambient noise. Multiple backdrops and professional studio lighting are also available to support a polished, high-quality production.
Do you offer video?
Yes, I offer a beautiful highlight video for both your Silver & Gold Wedding Packages.
A 4-minute highlight video is the perfect keepsake, thoughtfully capturing the essence and emotion of your wedding day, allowing you and your loved ones to relive those beautiful memories anytime for years to come.
What are the questions regarding secure our booking?
A 50% deposit is required to secure your booking. Convenient monthly payment arrangements can be made for the remaining balance. We accept credit cards, bank transfers, and Zelle.
Your deposit is fully refundable if you cancel 60 days or more before your wedding date. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your wedding date. Payments received after this deadline may incur a $50 late fee and could result in cancellation of your booking.
What is our plans change?
If you need to reschedule your event, you can transfer your deposit to another available date at no additional cost, subject to availability. To qualify, please provide at least 60 days’ notice before your original event date.
Do you offer a Wedding Album?
Yes, an album is one of the most durable and practical ways to preserve and share your wedding photographs. It’s easy to take out whenever you want to revisit your memories, requires no electricity, and will never become outdated or incompatible with future technology. Additional albums are available for family members or guests, in a range of sizes and designs.
How do we choose the right photos for our custom wedding album?
To create a beautiful layout that flows seamlessly, we recommend a "pick-and-choose" mindset focusing on 50 to 80 of your absolute favorite images. Aim for a balanced chronological story:
You will have 90 days to choose them.
- Getting Ready & Details (10%): Outfits, rings, and early candid moments.
- The Ceremony (25%): Walking down the aisle, your vows, the ring exchange, and the first kiss.
- Portraits (30%): Group family formals, the wedding party, and romantic couple portraits.
What other photography services do you offer?
This diverse selection of events and subjects reflects the wide range of photography and videography services I offer.
I capture meaningful occasions such as weddings, engagements, family reunions, and newborn sessions, as well as milestones including maternity and children’s portraits.
My services also extend to creative and entertainment-focused projects, including musicians, festivals, and video production, along with personalized sessions for pets, vehicles, and other unique interests. Every project is approached with a commitment to visual storytelling that celebrates your life, passions, and memorable moments.
Can we give you a list of photos to take?
Absolutely! I want to make sure every must-have moment is beautifully captured.
Once your deposit is received, I’ll send you a planning guide and shot-list form where you can share your VIP guests, important family groupings, and any specific moments you’d like me to watch for.
While I’m always looking for authentic, candid moments, this list helps ensure no meaningful memory is missed.
Can we get images in black-and-white?
I am happy to deliver a beautiful selection of black-and-white images from your wedding day.
Here is how I typically incorporate black-and-white formatting into your final wedding gallery:
-
- The Best of Both Worlds: For your main gallery, I carefully choose emotional, timeless moments—such as your ceremony vows, quiet candid interactions, or artistic portraits—and edit them beautifully in black-and-white.
- The Full Color Copy: If there is a shot edited in black-and-white that you also want to see in its original state, don't worry! Your downloadable digital gallery will still include the full-color versions of your images.
How long will it take to get my photos back?
Your professionally edited digital gallery will be delivered securely online. Delivery timelines are determined by your selected package:
- Bronze Package: Your complete high-resolution image gallery will be delivered within two weeks of your wedding day.
- Silver & Gold Packages: Your complete image gallery and cinematic highlight film(s) will be delivered within two weeks of your event.
- We endeavour to provide a selection of preview images within the first few days following your wedding, allowing you to share these special moments promptly with family and friends.
