Certainly! The minimum coverage time for elopements (less than 40 guests) is 2 hours. Elopements usually have fewer portrait requirements, and can occur during non-traditional timeframes such as weekdays. For those reasons, elopement photography is discounted: $100 for a guest count <40, $100 for no wedding party, $100 for a Monday-Thursday event.

Yes! I consider intimate weddings any celebration less than 100 guests. In a similar manner to elopements, discounts may also apply to intimate weddings without a wedding party, or for events that take place Monday-Thursday.

If, after our consult, you're interested in working together, I'll send over 3 items: 1) a copy of the questionnaire we began working on in our consult, 2) a wedding photography agreement for signature, and 3) a link to submit the $400 non-refundable retainer required to hold the wedding date. That amount is a part of the total collection costs; it is not an additional cost.

Yes, the initial coverage timeframe we come up with, which defines our wedding day coverage, is our best guess at the right fit in the early stages of planning. Costs are based on the time spent shooting, so we establish coverage time to provide an estimate of costs for signature of the contract. We can always change the wedding day coverage if wedding plans change.

No problem! If an engagement session is not part of what you need in your wedding photography collection, then let's remove it. You can customize your wedding collection to what fits you best. You'll find engagement sessions listed for $400. That amount would be deducted from a common collection cost.

Engagement sessions booked with a wedding photography collection are quite flexible. Generally, sessions last 1-2 hours, but we can shoot as long as needed to achieve our shoot plan. Sessions can be split into two different sessions to allow for different locations or seasons, if desired.

If we will be working outdoors, we should expect a level of unpredictability. If it looks as though we have a high chance of poor weather, I will be in contact with you 2-4 hours before our scheduled session to talk about rescheduling. I'll take care of the decision-making for weather reschedules. For all non-weather reasons, we can reschedule our session before 48 hours of the photoshoot day. For all non-emergent rescheduling reasons within 48 hours, a rescheduling fee applies.

Nearly anything! Engagement sessions are specifically designed to be a creative reflection of you as a couple. We'll brainstorm ideas on what you love to do together, where meaningful locations are for you, or if there's just a vibe you want to convey in the images. We can shoot in your home making breakfast, we can recreate a first date or a proposal, or we can line up an adventure session to a destination you would have wanted for the wedding day.

Like many things in life, it's easier to adapt when you've planned ahead. Wedding photography is intricately tied to wedding planning. Good wedding planning involves thought on a rain backup plan. I encourage natural light photography whenever possible, so we will want to be prepared for different weather elements. Decisions will be yours, but I'll help plan for options on how to handle poor weather.

No. Unless we have determined that it's best to have a second photographer for your wedding day, it will just be me photographing your wedding. I try to maintain a very minimal approach to photographing you, and adding another person to follow you through the day becomes twice as noticeable.

The turn-around-time varies based on the time of year. Usually, final edited wedding images are provided within 6 weeks. You will receive a sneak peek gallery within 48 hours of the session. I shoot on a combination of film and digital cameras, and it takes a minimum of 2 weeks for film to be processed and scanned in a lab. I then match the film to the digital for a consistent edit throughout the gallery.
