If you need to reschedule your event, you may transfer your deposit to a new available date at no extra cost, provided you give us at least 60 days' notice.
Do you offer a Wedding Album?
Yes, an album is the most durable and practical way to store and present your wedding images – it’s easy to bring out when you want to look at it, requires no electricity, and won’t become incompatible with your computer in five years. You can purchase additional Albums for Family or Guests, which come in various 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.
- The Reception & Exit (35%): Grand entrances, first dances, toasts, cake cutting, and your final farewell celebration.
What other photography services do you offer?
This diverse list of events and subjects highlights a broad scope of photography and videography services that I do.I cater to special occasions such as weddings, engagements, family reunions, and newborns, as well as capturing milestones like maternity and children's moments. Additionally, it includes creative and entertainment-focused categories such as musicians, festivals, and videos, along with personalized captures of pets, vehicles, and other unique interests, emphasizing a comprehensive approach to visual storytelling tailored to various life events and passions.
Can we give you a list of photos to take?
Absolutely! We want to make sure your absolute must-have shots are captured. Once your deposit is submitted, I will send over a planning package and a shot-list form where you can outline your VIP guests, essential family configurations, and any specific moments you want me to look out for. While I always look for authentic, candid moments, this list ensures we don't miss a single meaningful memory.
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.
- Telling a Classic Story: Black-and-white editing is incredible for outdoor or cabin weddings because it cuts through distractions, focusing purely on your expressions, the lighting, and the raw emotion of the moment.
How long will it take to get my photos back?
Your final, beautifully edited digital gallery is delivered securely online, with delivery timelines depending on your chosen package: [1]
- Bronze Package: Your complete high-resolution image gallery will be delivered within 3 weeks of your wedding day. [1]
- Silver & Gold Packages: Your full image gallery and cinematic highlight films will be delivered within 4 weeks of your event.
- (Note: We always strive to send over a few "sneak peek" images within the first few days after your wedding so you can share them with family and friends right away!)
