The FAQ
What is your approach for capturing weddings + elopements?
My approach is a mix of intentional storytelling and natural documentation. Before your wedding day, I’ll ask for a list of the moments, people, and details that are most important to you—those near and dear to your heart—so I can be sure to capture them in a way that feels meaningful. Beyond that, I take a documentary-style approach, allowing your day to unfold naturally while capturing the real, unscripted emotions and in-between moments. I’ll step in with gentle guidance when needed—especially if nerves kick in or you’re unsure what to do with your hands—but my goal is for you to feel fully present, soaking in every moment while I capture it uniquely and beautifully.

How long have you been doing this?

Will I have to order prints through you?
Nope! But I have a fantastic lab that I would love to recommend to you. I even use them to print my own families photos!

Can you help us with a timeline?
I would love to!
Can collections be tailored to our needs?
We absolutely can chat about adjusting a collection. Please let me know if you have any specific requests and I will do my best to create a unique collection just for you!
Do all wedding and elopement collections come with a second photographer?
Yes yes yes! I will always and forever have another photographer with me at a wedding. Not only do they get more potential photos for your gallery, if the schedule gets behind we can divide the work and help get back on track. Teamwork makes the dream work!
Can I set up a payment plan for my wedding or elopement collection?
Absolutely! A retainer fee ($575 for weddings & elopements) is due upon signing our contract and as long as the final payment is made a week in advance for a wedding or elopement we are good to go.
How many photos can we expect in our gallery?
It all greatly depends on the day! But you can expect anywhere from 50-100+ photos an hour approximately for wedding and elopement collections.
We don't even know where to start. Can you help us?
Absolutely! Not only will I be available for any and all questions, each couple will recieve my "Wedding Experience" welcome guide upon booking. In it you will find preferred vendors, sample wedding timelines, and tons of tips and tricks to make your day as seamless as possible!
