Frequently asked questions

I offer photography services for weddings and elopements, individual and couple portraits, engagement sessions, family, newborn, maternity, and more. Most of my sessions are on-location of your choice, and my work is created by natural outdoor lighting but I do have studio options available. If you have an idea or vision contact me today and I’d love to hear about what you have in mind!

No, I do not provide the unedited RAW images. All photos in your gallery will be edited for lighting, contrast, sharpness, and color to ensure they look their best.

The photos will be delivered to your email with a link to your online gallery. From there, you can download your photos, share the link with friends/family, share to social media, and order prints.

While I confidently photograph weddings on my own, adding a second photographer offers several wonderful benefits!Having two photographers allows us to capture moments happening simultaneously, especially when you and your partner are getting ready in separate locations.During your ceremony, a second photographer provides additional perspectives, capturing everything from your walk down the aisle and the beautiful details of your dress to your partner's reaction and those genuine, emotional moments.I especially recommend a second photographer for weddings with more than 150 guests. This allows for more comprehensive coverage of your guests, families, and candid moments while I'm focused on you and your partner.A second photographer can be added to any wedding photography collection for $500.

You can start by filling out this contact form to provide details including your wedding or event date, location, and telling me a bit about what you are looking for! I’ll follow up to send you wedding package options and schedule a time to chat — on a call, FaceTime, or over a drink — so you have the opportunity to ask any questions and so I can get to know the two of you a little bit more! If you decide you would like to move forward with securing the date, I will send a wedding agreement form for your review and submission as well as a request for a 50% retainer to hold the date.

You can expect your wedding or event gallery within 8 weeks after the event. For portrait sessions, the turnaround time is 2-3 weeks. Sometimes, it might be even sooner depending on the season.
