FAQ
What is your shooting style?
I love being both interactive and discrete throughout the wedding day. There will be parts of the wedding day when I will need to be in control in order to accomplish everything that needs to be done in order to keep everyone on schedule. There will also be moments when you shouldn’t even know that I’m there. (The ceremony, during dances and toasts, etc.) We teach our couples how to pose and interact during their engagement session so they are naturals on the wedding day and don’t need quite as much instruction from us!
Do You Travel for Engagement Sessions?
YES! I actually love it when my couples ask me to photograph them in a location that means something special to them! I book engagement sessions typically three to six months in advance.
How many images can I expect?
We average 75-100 final images per hour that we're actively shooting throughout the day. We love delivering our client’s files quickly and easily via an online gallery. You will have the ability to print, share and download your images as much as you want. We believe in freely sharing our work because that is what we would want if we were in your shoes!
Can I take out the second shooter from a package for a discounted rate?
No, becasue I already love you and I know that having a person to not only get different angles but capture detail shots and fun moments with your guests while we are away at sunset. A second shooter makes all the difference in the world when it comes down to time management, because we all know that even the best of plans change. If you have to run tight on time un-expectantly, a second shooter will give you breathing room to still make sure all of the special aspects that you took so much time and care in planning for are still captured, no matter the time conflicts that might arise.... you will thank me, I promise!
What is your best tip for great pictures?
Focus on eachother. You and your partner/family will be smiling and adoring one another the entire time! Which makes it so easy for me to capture your love story.
What are your family lifestyle sessions like?
I play music and let your family be themselves and have fun enjoying each others personalities while I document along the way. There will be some posed images along with candids of your families love for on another. I work with you before hand to sort out all of the fine details of what you want out of the session. That way, on the day of the session we can have an easy, fun time together.
When will I receive my photos?
You will receive your personalized on-line gallery link with all your photos within
3-4 weeks for lifestyle portraits and 8-10 weeks for weddings.
