Do you travel?
Absolutely, I'm available for travel worldwide. I would be happy & honored to travel to wherever your love story takes me. Small costs associated with travel are also included in all offerings, so you will never have to worry about any extra, unexpected costs. For specific destinations on my bucket list, I even offer discounted rates! View my 2024 travel calendar and bucket list here.
Digital or film photography?
For me, film photography's real charm lies in its aesthetics. There's an unbeatable, nostalgic, and natural vibe about film that's hard to put into words but oh-so-irresistible. Film gives you this incredible flexibility with exposure and a palette of colors that's rich and beautifully textured. The depth it adds and how it enhances skin tones is just impossible to replicate digitally. I'm so happy to be able to offer film as an add-on for all my sessions and weddings. It means my clients get a mix of both digital and film images, showcasing the best of both worlds. If you're all about that nostalgic film feel and want to sprinkle it into your Custom Wedding Collection, count me in! I've got film ready to roll as an add-on for all sessions, ensuring you get a gallery that's a beauitful blend of digital and film photography.
Do you have insurance?
Absolutely! I am a registered, licensed, and insured LLC. When researching potential wedding vendors, it’s best to work with businesses that are registered, pay taxes, and have insurance. This way everyone is protected! Let me know if your venue requires a certificate of insurance.
I really want both film and digital photos, can you do that? How will we receive the film photos?
Yes! If you choose film, it will be an add on to any of my packages. I will photograph with both film and digital cameras during the session. You will receive film scans along with the digital frames in your online gallery.
What's included in the Full Wedding Experience?
Most couples working with me create their custom collection to include 9-11 hours of wedding day coverage, rehearsal dinner coverage, and an engagement session, but I also have an a la carte menu available to further customize your investment. Collections always include full printing rights to the edited, high-res images within your private online gallery. Please reach out to learn more- I would love to help tailor your experience to whatever your needs may be!
Do you customize packages?
Always! No two wedding days are the same, so while I do have a minimum rate as a base to build off of, I will always tailor a proposal custom to what you and your specific day needs. EFP Wedding Collections range from intimate wedding days to entire destination wedding weekends with our couples.
How many images can we expect?
This depends on the hours of photography coverage booked and how eventful your wedding timeline is! For example, I deliver around 1000 photographs per 8-hour wedding.
When will we receive our photos?
For sessions, you’ll receive them in 3 weeks or less. For your wedding day, your online gallery will be sent to you in 6 weeks or less. I share sneak peek photos within a few days of the wedding day. I make it my priority to not have you waiting months for your final images after the initial excitement has worn off. When adding film, timing is subject to change due to the develop lab schedule, but this will be discussed during our consultation.
How do you guide sessions?
My approach to any session is relaxed, fun, and all about making sure you feel confident in front of my camera. My posing style is a blend of documentation like candids and artfully-directed, editorial-inspired photos. Let me know if you have a particular vibe that you’re looking to achieve with your photos or if there's a specific story to be told!
Do we need an additional photographer?
I solely will be able to capture every important moment of your day without missing any “must-takes.” However, I'd recommend a second photographer for weddings consisting of 150 guests or more or if there are multiple photo locations where I cannot be in two places at once. We will figure this out together during our consultation!
What kind of couples do you work with?
All couples! Love is not only patient and kind but it also goes beyond any boundaries and embraces everyone. I strongly believe that love in all its forms deserves to be celebrated, accepted, and documented.
Who is your ideal client?
My ideal clients are passionate people who value honesty, family, and communication. They are sentimental and they aren't afraid to have a little fun, either.
Do you offer prints and albums?
Yes. There’s nothing more special than the old-fashioned feel of something tangible to reminisce on. Not just scrolling through your phone to show Grandma but something you can lay on her lap and smile over together. These mementos are offered in a range of sizes and styles, and I can help you choose the one that fits your personal style best. You'll also have access directly to my print shop through your online gallery so you can order as many prints or other items as you wish.
