frequently asked questions.

"I'm thinking about eloping...?"

BIG FAN. elopements are the way to go if you're looking for a laid back, adventurous day, focused on you and your lover. eloping takes a lot of pressure off, saves money, and makes for a once in a lifetime experience for you and the people closest to you. it's 2022, if you want your parents and best friends there, do it! I found a huge love for 

documenting these intimate celebrations during the covid years and have lots of information if you wanna chat more.

 

"do I need to put down a deposit to book a session?"

at the time of booking, I do require a non-refundable deposit of half of the total price to secure your selected date and time. the remaining balance is due by or on the date of your session. payment times vary per wedding.

"what location(s) do you suggest?"

I encourage you to pick places that represent you or maybe somewhere a special moment took place in your life. this can range from us going on a breathtaking hike, to finding some hidden alleys with cool artwork, or even just finding beauty in a favorite corner of your home. wherever you feel the most confident. I also know of some pretty amazing outdoor locations that can make anyone feel like their best, so feel free to reach out if you want the secret spots.

 

"do you travel?"

yes! by foot, by car, by plane, by boat... if you want me there, I'll be there. travel fees calculated per session. 

 

"when can I expect a sneak peek?" 

you'll receive a link to your sneak peek a week from the shoot date! this will be your first opportunity to browse and download edited jpeg images from your password protected gallery! the same link will take you to the full gallery once complete.

 

"do you have a second shooter/videographer for weddings?"

I work solo unless the size of the wedding requires it or if the couple specifically requests one! I know many talented photographers + videographers and can easily secure a friend to come help capture allll the angles of your big day. additional fees will be calculated per wedding if this is a route you're interested in!

 

 

"is an album included in the wedding packages?"

absolutely, and elopements! after you receive the online gallery I will contact you so we can design your dream wedding album. you'll receive a custom 8x8 book containing 20, complimentary images highlighting the best moments of your day.

"how long will my online gallery be active?"

you can access the online gallery for 1 year after it's published! I'll give you a reminder a month before, to make sure you have plenty of time to download and store the images on your own devices. after that it will be removed from the site. I do archive your edited images on my personal hard drives for 3 years after publishing so if there happens to be a photo emergency, I gotchu. 

 

"can I order prints through you?"

100%. after you receive your full gallery, a meet up with me is included to guide you through different print sizes and material options. additional fees apply per print ordered.
