Q: Why invest in photography?

Send an inquiry for the full details. Packages are not structured hourly, and the full day rate is designed for all needs from traditional to eccentric.
I have a wedding album that was beautifully captured that belonged to my grandparents. It's filled with black and white photos that tell the story of their wedding day. I didn't exist during this event, but I feel like I had been there. They may be gone - but they left these heirlooms behind that keep their memory alive -from expressions to interactions. They had an amazing photographer that provided that documentation, and I want to use my skills to provide the same opportunity to others. When people invest in me to provide that, I do my very best with accuracy, reliability, and experience.
Q: What's most important in choosing a photographer?
A: You should love the artwork, vision, and style of your artist. Your artist should also have a track record of being reliable and professional.
You should be able to talk with your photographer about your needs and wants without feeling weird, pressured, or uncomfortable. I will be in you space all day - so we want to be sure it’s a great match.
Q: What is your style?
A: Take a look at my social network portfolios for an idea of photo content style-
I love lifestyle and editorial photography based on connection, raw moments, and creativity. I aim to capture your personalities and your story in a way that is YOU.
Editing style is tailored to your preferences. Equal parts photographer and editor, I have no problem matching your requested style from moody to clean, or brighter & bold. I have a signature hybrid moody style that I advertise in my portfolio as default.
Q: Can you help me create my vision?
A: I will document all the candid connections as well as facilitate your vision. Some visions require a little guidance and practice in poses and I can help you with that process. Whether you are looking for documentary/in the moment/and fluid - or careful attention to posing - (or a combination of both) we talk about how you want the day to go and how to achieve the results.
Q: How long does it take to get my photos:
A: On average, clients receive their wedding galleries approximately 1 calendar month from the date of the wedding (Fall weddings could be slightly longer).
*Paid Rush requests are available for 7 day turnaround where I block out the week for your editing instead of taking additional weekday sessions.
Extensive photoshop requests after delivery like body manipulations, background changes, and other requests have a longer contract expectation depending on the work required.
Q: Are you insured?
A: Yes. I am insured and a member or the Professional Photographers Association. I have zero claims in my history.
In my absence in any extreme situation, my self trained associate team would be able to offer services if desired.
Q: Are my photos backed up?
A: Yes. All photos taken are backed up in 3 separate physical locations, as well as edits stored to an online backup.
Q: Do I receive the image downloads?
A: High resolution edited files are included.
