Frequently Asked Questions
What’s your booking process?
After I receive your initial filled out contact form, I will get back to you as soon as possible answering any preliminary questions and we can set up your initial free consultation. The first meeting is a great time for us to get to know each other a little, and talk more about what you are looking for in a photographer.
If you decide I’m the right fit for you and your day, I will send an electronic contract for you to sign. I also require a non-fundable retainer of $1,000. Once those two items are complete, we’re all set.
What is included in your photo packages?
All wedding packages include 1 photographer (Me), and toned high-resolution images delivered via a personalized online gallery. A second photographer can also be added to packages when it makes sense.
What’s your photographing style?
It’s candid, authentic and fun. I use my 10 years experience as a newspaper photographer to blend in and capture all the great moments happening around me. Many of my clients really love that they barely notice me on their wedding day. Check out my reviews so you can see some feedback from clients about my approach.
What if I’m uncomfortable in front of a camera?
Don’t worry! On your wedding day or even during your engagement session, my style of shooting allows you to be yourself. It’s easy to capture great moments when you’re having fun with your partner and with your wedding guests. When needed, I’m happy to help with posing ideas. So be yourself, and I’ll give you some easy suggestions that will make your photos feel natural, and polished.
Do you take payment plans?
After your initial retainer payment, your full remaining balance is not due until your event date. That usually gives couples 6-12 months to collect the remaining balance before its due.
And just a couple more big picture and logistical items. Yes, I am an insured and registered business. Of course I’m open to travel. And most importantly, I practice a NO discrimination philosophy in my life and my work. All couples are welcome.
