General Inquiry
What is your approach?
My approach is editorial and cinematic, yet always genuine. I find beauty in candid moments and prioritize authentic connection over staged poses. I strive to create a unique and enjoyable experience for each individual I photograph, ensuring their story is told in a way that is both personal and unforgettable.
How long have you been a photographer?
I've been photographing people for over a decade. Full-time for 5 years.
Do you help in the planning process?
Yes, absolutely! I will help with the wedding timeline, anything photo-related, questions on light, what to wear, vendors, anything! I am here for you!
What are the main things to focus on during the planning process?
This day is about YOU, so stay true to yourselves. Ideally, your ceremony should be about 1.5 hours before sunset for the best lighting (unless it's overcast). Keep the ceremony location simple for photos and ensure your getting-ready areas are well-lit and near windows. Remember, natural light is key!
What is your turn around time?
For family and couples sessions, it’s typically 1-2 weeks.
For weddings, it’s 2-4 weeks.
How many photos can we expect?
The short answer is - it varies!
For weddings, it depends on your coverage, but on average I guarantee anywhere between 600-1200 fully edited images.
For families, I deliver around 55 or more photographs.
For couples sessions/engagements, the average is about 60-120.
Don't worry though, I never leave anything out. I include plenty of photos of everything I capture. You will get anything and everything that meets my standards!
Does your session fee include images?
It does! I don’t have a “sitting fee” with additional purchase of images or edited files. Everything is already included for you! You will, however, have an option to purchase prints, and photo albums, via the image gallery.
How can we book you?
All I need is a signed contract and a 50% retainer.
Will we get sneak peaks?
Yes of course! I try and send sneak peeks within 48-72 hrs.
Do you travel?
Yes, most definitely I do! I prefer it to be honest. I'm a travel buff, so naturally traveling is one of my biggest sources of inspiration.
Do you have estimated pricing for travel costs?
My standard travel fee is $1000. This includes the cost of roundtrip airfare, car rental, hotel, and a food stipend. The fee could change
What if the weather is bad?
My rule of thumb is to encourage my clients to embrace whatever the weather brings. I am a seasoned photographer so I can play/shoot in any type of light. It’s going to be a fun and unique experience regardless of what mother nature throws at us.
However, if the weather is too crazy and could damage my gear or it’s simply not safe — we can reschedule or postpone!
