FAQ

• WHAT IS YOUR STYLE?

Photographing a wedding asks for many different types of styles, we consider ourselves to be mainly a combination photojournalism and contemporary portraiture. Our main focus is the capture every story as it unfolds, letting the photos be as intimate and honest as it was on the day of so you remember each emotion when scrolling through your gallery. Though about 85% of the images taken on the day are candids, when it comes to portraits of the two of you/wedding party/family, we give enough direction so that everyone knows where to look/how to stand to give a more natural and loose feel as opposed to reliving grade school picture days.

• DO YOU ALWAYS INCLUDE A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?

All packages include a second photographer to add another eye to the day. While I cover the formals and the important moments, my assistant will make sure all other details and candids are covere

• WHAT KIND OF ALBUMS DO YOU PROVIDE & WHAT IS THE TURNAROUND TIME FOR ALBUMS?

The average turnaround time for an album can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months depending mostly on your input. We do albums from the contemporary flush mount trend to the traditional styling of your parents’ old albums, and almost everything in between. Check out our albums here!

Before we take any big steps, I always encourage you to meet with vendors before your wedding, including myself. This can be done face­to­face over coffee, over the phone or skype. If you would like to go forward and book us, there is a $400 deposit as well as a contract to sign.

• DO YOU PROVIDE ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS

Yes we do! An engagement session can be added to any package for a starting rate of $800. We actually encourage these sessions so that you can become familiar with our style of photography. It also helps in becoming comfortable with us – and being photographed by us – before your big day.
(Please note sessions only take place on weekday’s)

• HOW LONG DO FORMAL PORTRAITS TAKE?

This all depends on the size of the group, but formals (family, wedding party, and the two of you) can take anywhere between 45 minutes to 1 hour all together. Depending on the size of the family/bridal party, we make sure we get as many photos in a timely manner without making people feel over photographed. For the two of you, we spend more time photographing you to assure we have a good variety of locations and poses.

You are able to view your images in an online gallery within 14 to 21 days. We also have a small teaser on Instagram by the Wednesday after your wedding.
