Frequently Asked Questions
What is the process to book?
Upon receiving your inquiry, I’ll promptly reach out to you either via email or phone to schedule an initial call. During this conversation, we’ll delve into details, address any questions you might have, and discuss the services you’re seeking.
Should you choose to proceed and book me as your photographer, I’ll forward the contract to you for your review before signing and sending the deposit. Once the contract is finalized, I’ll provide a comprehensive wedding onboard packet. This packet includes:
- A personalized couple’s questionnaire to capture your preferences and details.
- Essential information concerning your wedding day, such as venue addresses, wedding itinerary schedule, and other crucial details.
- A helpful checklist designed to keep you organized and ensure I have all the necessary information before your big day.
How will I get access to my photos?
All collections will be provided through a password-secured online gallery platform known as Pixiset. In the case of shorter sessions, images will be downloadable for a duration of 30 days. For more extensive sessions, access to photo downloads will be granted 90 days after gaining entry to your gallery
Can you accommodate any specific photo requests or ideas I have?
Of course! I’d love to hear your vision and inspiration, and I’ll do my best to bring your photo requests to life.
What's your policy on editing and retouching images?
Basic retouching includes clearing the skin, removing flyaways and single strands of hair, and noticeable blemishes. However, I don’t perform the following: physically changing body shapes, fixing dresses, removing people or objects from photos, fixing clothes, makeup, or adding items to images.
What about travel and extra fees for location shoots?
There are no extra fees for locations within an hour of the photographer’s address. For locations outside of an hour there’s a charge of .55 cents per mile. You’ll need to cover any additional fees, including location permit fees, parking fees, hotels/Airbnb, flights, etc.
How long until I receive the final images after the shoot?
For portraits and engagements, expect a 2-week turnaround. For weddings and more significant events, the turnaround is 6 weeks.
Do you have a backup plan in case of inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances?
Life can be unpredictable, but I’ve got you covered! If you need to switch your day due to weather or other reasons, if no other sessions are scheduled for that day and it works for me, we can make it happen. If there is an unforeseen situation on my end, I will do my best to get you connected to other talented photographers with availability!
How much of a deposit is required to secure my session?
Every package/session requires a 25% of the total package price non-refundable deposit.
Do you offer film?
Yes! A film is an add-on option for all sessions, including weddings! $75 – 1 roll (36 exposures) of Fuji Color Film and digital scans will be uploaded to your online gallery delivery.
What if I want a second photographer?
No problem! Just let me know when you inquire and I will ensure that it is customized with your package! A second photographer is automatically included in package 3 and can come with a $300 upcharge for packages 1 and 2.
Do you offer family, newborn, other event photography?
I definitely can take family and other special event photos! I just specialize in weddings, couples and portrait photography!
