WHAT TO EXPECT
How far in advance should we book?
For weddings, most couples book once their date and venue are secured. Dates often fill one to two years in advance, especially during peak wedding season. That said, last-minute availability or accommodations can sometimes be made depending on timing and season.
Shoots such as editorials, headshots, and engagements where dates are flexible, can be booked a few months in advance.
Dates in late April and early May are typically reserved for cap and gown shoots, meaning I keep my availability open to college graduates hoping to pop some champagne, give me a tour of their favorite spots and memories on campus, and be photographed while they’re at it.
How do we officially reserve our date?
A date is officially reserved once a signed contract and a 40% deposit are received. To begin, folks fill out an inquiry form, receive a custom quote, and then a contract is created for review and signature.
What wedding photography packages do you offer?
Every couple and wedding day is different, so packages are customized based on individual needs and priorities. Most couples invest around $3,600 for wedding coverage, with options tailored to fit the scope of the day.
Do you offer hourly coverage?
Yes. Each contract includes an outlined hourly rate, and if additional coverage is needed, a new invoice reflecting the added hours will be provided.
How many photos will we receive?
On average, folks receive about 50 images per hour of coverage, though some moments naturally yield more depending on the flow of the day. Many images are also delivered with both color and black-and-white edits.
Do you retouch skin or remove distractions?
Yes. Light retouching and distraction removal are part of the editing process, with an emphasis on keeping everything natural. The goal is for you to look like yourself, not a heavily edited version of yourself.
Do you back up images?
Yes. All RAW files are backed up on a hard drive, and edited photographs are kept indefinitely for long-term safekeeping.
