WEDDING FAQ

1. HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE? IT DEPENDS ON THE PACKAGE YOU GO WITH, BUT NORMALLY YOU WILL RECEIVE ROUGHLY 100 PHOTOS PER HOUR. SO IF YOU BOOKED 8 HOURS OF COVERAGE YOU WILL RECEIVE 800-1000 PHOTOS ROUGHLY!

2. DO YOU OFFER ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS? YES, I DO! MOST OF MY PACKAGES HAVE A COMPLEMENTARY ENGAGEMENT SESSION ALREADY INCLUDED! I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HAVING AN ENGAGEMENT SESSION BEFORE YOUR WEDDING AS IT PROVIDES US TO CONNECT AND GIVES ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN YOU AND YOUR PARTNER BETTER.

3. HOW LONG AFTER THE WEDDING WILL I GET MY PHOTOS? I SEND SNEAK PEEKS 1-3 DAYS AFTER YOUR WEDDING AND THE FULL GALLERY 4-6 WEEKS AFTER YOUR WEDDING!

4. CAN WE PROVIDE A SHOT LIST? YES AND NO. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ALL OF YOUR INSPO PHOTOS AND WHAT YOU ARE WANTING IN YOUR PHOTOS, BUT I CANNOT PROMISE THAT I WILL GET EVERY SHOT THAT IS ON YOUR LIST THOUGH. I VALUE BEING ABLE TO WORK CREATIVELY AND CAPTURE THINGS NATURALLY ON YOUR WEDDING DAY.

5. DO YOU OFFER PRINTS OR ALBUMS? I DO OFFER PRINTS AND ALBUMS! YOU CAN PURCHASE THEM THROUGH MY GALLERY SERVICE - PIC TIME. I WOULD RECOMMEND GOING THROUGH A PROFESSIONAL PRINTING SERVICE VS. A SERVICE LIKE WALGREENS OR WALMART, AS THEY FREQUENTLY DECREASE THE IMAGE QUALITY.

6. WHAT IF I DON'T KNOW HOW TO POSE DURING COUPLES PHOTOS? HAVE NO WORRIES! I WILL LEAD YOU THROUGH MANY DIFFERENT POSES AND PROMPTS. MY BIGGEST WORD OF ADVICE IS JUST TO BE DOWN TO HAVE FUN AND DON'T BE AFRAID OF BEING YOURSELF. IT'S YOUR SPECIAL DAY, I DON'T WANT YOU TO FEEL THAT STRESS!

7. CAN I GET THE RAW UNEDITED IMAGES? I DO NOT OFFER RAW OR UNEDITED IMAGES TO MY CLIENTS. MY EDITS ARE A MASSIVE PART OF MY WORK AND MY ARTISTRY. ALSO MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE OR HANDLE RAW FILES.

8. HOW DO I ACCESS MY PHOTOS AFTER THE WEDDING? I WILL SEND YOU AN EMAIL OR TEXT WITH A PRIVATE LINK TO YOUR OWN GALLERY! ALL THE PHOTOS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD AND PRINTING. THE GALLERY WILL BE ACTIVE FOR 12 WEEKS, SO PLEASE DOWNLOAD ALL THE PHOTOS BEFORE THEN.

9. HOW DO YOU APPROACH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY? I WOULD CALL MYSLEF A CINEMATIC AND DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHER BLENDED TOGETHER. I LOVE AUTHENTIC MOMENTS. I LOVE LOVE. I LOVE CANDIDS WITH AN ARTISTIC TWIST. I'M A HAPPY CHILL PERSON AND I'M HERE TO MAKE YOUR WEDDING DAY AS FUN AND LOW STRESS AS POSSIBLE.

10. WHAT SHOULD WE DO IF THE WEATHER IS BAD? I AM A FIRM BELIEVER IN GOING WITH THE FLOW. RAIN OR CLOUDS WILL NOT RUIN YOUR PHOTOS, THOUGH IT MIGHT CHANGE THE VIBE. IF YOUR VENUE HAS AN INDOOR SPACE CONDUCIVE FOR PHOTOS WE TOTALLY CAN USE THAT SPACE, BUT IF NOT I RECOMMEND UMBRELLAS AND SOME FUN RAINY OUTSIDE PHOTOS.

11. DO YOU HELP WITH WEDDING TIMELINES? YES! I DO! 2-3 MONTHS BEFORE YOUR WEDDING I WILL SEND YOU A QUESTIONNAIRE AND HELP YOU GO THROUGH ALL THE DETAILS OF THE DAY! I AM ALSO ALWAYS OPEN FOR QUESTIONS OF ANY SORT.

12. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO TAKE FAMILY PORTRAITS? I PERSONALLY RECOMMEND SHOOTING FAMILY PORTRAITS BEFORE THE CEREMONY! I FIND THAT AFTER THE CEREMONY EVERYONE IS RUSHING OFF TO GET DRINKS OR FOOD AND IT MAKES EVERYTHING SLIGHTLY MORE DIFFICULT.

13. HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR COUPLES PORTRAITS? I SEND SNEAK PEEKS 1-3 DAYS AFTER YOUR WEDDING AND THE FULL GALLERY 4-6 WEEKS AFTER YOUR WEDDING!

14. HOW DO WE PREPARE FOR FAMILY PHOTOS? WHEN I SEND YOU A QUESTIONNAIRE I WILL HAVE YOU FILL OUT A LIST OF ALL THE FAMILY PORTRAITS YOU ARE WANTING. BEFORE YOUR WEDDING TELL YOUR FAMILY WHEN AND WHERE THEY ARE NEEDED FOR THE PHOTOS, AND THEN I WILL CALL OFF NAMES OF ALL THE DIFFERENT GROUPINGS!

15. WHAT SHOULD I SET ASIDE FOR FLATLAY/DETAIL PHOTOS? I WOULD RECOMMEND PUTTING TOGETHER A BOX OF ALL YOUR DETAILS. WEDDING RINGS, INVITES, SHOES, PERFUME/COLOGNE, JEWELRY, FLORALS, VOW BOOKS, FAMILY HEIRLOOMS, ETC.

16. DO YOU OFFER PRE-BRIDAL PORTRAITS? YES! I DO! THIS IS A GREAT OPTION FOR BRIDES THAT WANT MORE TIME FOR BRIDAL PORTRAITS. THIS IS A GREAT OPTION FOR MY BRIDES WHO BOOKED 4-6 HOURS OF COVERAGE AND HAVE LESS TIME FOR PHOTOS DURING GETTING READY!

17. DO YOU HAVE A BACKUP CAMERA OR EQUIPMENT IF SOMETHING BREAKS? YES! I SHOOT WITH MULTIPLE CAMERAS AND HAVE MULTIPLE BACK UP SYSTEMS IN PLACE.

18. HOW LONG DO YOU NEED TO STAY INTO THE EVENING TO CAPTURE DANCING PHOTOS? I RECOMMEND LEAVING 30 TO 60 MINUTES OF TIME FOR DANCING PHOTOS. OFTEN TIMES I CAN GET 100 PLUS DANCING PHOTOS IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME JUST BECAUSE NORMALLY THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON.

19. CAN WE ADD ON EXTA COVERAGE DAY OF? OF COURSE!SOMETIMES THINGS GET DELAYED OR PLANS CHANGE, AND I AM ALWAYS UP FOR STAYING A LITTLE LATER TO CAPTURE ALL THAT YOU ARE WANTING. $500 PER EXTRA HOUR IS MY NORMAL RATE.

20. WHY DO I NEED A SECOND SHOOTER? I WOULD RECOMMEND A SECOND SHOOTER FOR YOUR WEDDING IF YOU HAVE OVER 150 GUESTS OR IF YOU ARE WANTING A LOT OF CANDIDS DURING COCKTAIL HOUR AND YOUR RECEPTION. A SECOND SHOOTER IS ALSO A WONDERFUL CHOICE FOR HAVING DIFFERENT SHOTS AND VIEWS DURING THE CEREMONY.
