Why is wedding photography important? 

Your photos (and maybe your dress) are the only things from your wedding that will outlive you. One of my favorite things about being a photographer is imagining my images being shown to future generations.

The photographer is the only vendor that spends the entire day with you, so it's crucial that you hire someone who has the same vision as you and your partner. Whether that's me or someone else, please find someone that makes you feel comfortable and understood. 

What kind of weddings do you photograph? 

I love photographing all kinds of weddings but have a special place in my heart for small, intimate ceremonies. If you plan to have 80+ guests at your wedding, I recommend adding a second shooter to your package so you can have photos of all your friends and family.

How would you define your style?

While my style continually evolves, three recurring elements emerge throughout my body of work: calm, joy, and color.

Moments can unfold naturally, and I capture them honestly as they happen. I also believe that much of a photographer's success depends on real interactions. The more comfortable you feel around me, the more natural your photographs will be! 

How many weddings/sessions do you shoot a year? How long have you been in business? 

I shoot around 12 weddings a year, and I've been in business for thirteen years.

Do you recommend that the bride and groom see each other before the ceremony?

First looks are great, but I'm more concerned about what's right for the couple. If you feel compelled to wait to see the love of your life, no big deal—there are other options. You will just have to make time for family and friend portraits after your ceremony.

I'm uncomfortable in front of the camera. Can you help me with that?

Well, you're in luck! One of the most significant parts of my job is helping you feel comfortable. If you read my Google reviews, you will see a recurring theme. Most people I work with are nervous about being photographed, which is why I love easing people into the creative process. Whether that's grabbing a cocktail beforehand or taking photos at your favorite places, we will find ways to make you comfortable and feel beautiful. 

How does the album design process work?

I will have you select your favorite images through the Pic-Time platform, and then I will design the first draft of your album. You will have the chance to make one round of edits; any additional edits come at an additional cost.

What is your favorite part of the wedding day?

Without fail, I get a little teary-eyed during speeches. I love hearing the stories of your past and learning about what makes you unique as a couple. I also love dancing with all your guests which is how I get those epic dance shots!

Coverage & Travel

How far do you travel? Does it cost extra?

Although I mainly shoot on the east and west coasts, I've flown all over the world to photograph weddings: Scotland, LA, Pittsburgh, Massachusetts, Dominican Republic, New Hampshire, Missouri, Connecticut, Portland… I also photograph couples who decide that NYC is the perfect backdrop for their love. Some of these countries include Australia, Japan, Germany, Austria, New Zealand, Guatemala, Spain, New Orleans, and Paris. 

The best part? My pricing includes all domestic travel costs.

How do we book you?

You can always book over email, but most clients set up a phone call, Zoom, or FaceTime meeting with me before they seal the deal. During the meeting, you can pour a glass of wine, sit back, and I'll take you through my process and help answer any questions you two might have. 

Once you give me the go-ahead, I'll send you an electronic contract and invoice to make it official.

I require a signed contract and a 50% deposit at the time of booking to reserve your date. The remaining amount is due one week before the wedding.

How soon do we get our images?

I pride myself in giving you the best experience in the industry when it comes to gallery delivery. You will receive a preview 24 hours after your wedding and your full gallery in 4 weeks or less. 

How are my photos delivered? 

You will receive a personal URL and the ability to share, print, and download all your images.

What about copyright policy?

You are free to print as many images as you like. If you want to print them for commercial use, please contact me to discuss pricing.
 
What is your cancellation policy? 

I know things happen and plans change. If you choose to cancel, however, I will keep your non-refundable deposit.

Do you hire a second photographer? 

A second shooter, assistant, or both are available upon request. We recommend hiring a second photographer for weddings with 80+ guests and a third photographer for 200+ guests. 

Do you have insurance?

Yes, I do!
