How far in advance should we book you?
Most couples book about 12 months in advance, especially for popular dates. If you’re interested, inquire as soon as possible to check availability!
What happens after we inquire?
Once you fill out the inquiry form:
1. I’ll check availability and send you my wedding brochure with pricing and details.
2. If everything looks good, we’ll schedule a call to go over your vision and answer any questions.
3. To book, you’ll sign a contract and submit a 25% retainer, and then we’re official!
Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes! Engagement sessions are complimentary with some packages and discounted in others. They’re a great way for us to get to know each other and for you to get comfortable in front of the camera, all while creating stunning images for save-the-dates or wedding websites.
How do payments work?
A 25% retainer secures your wedding date, and the remaining balance is due 7 days before your wedding. Payment plans are available upon request!
What’s included in your wedding packages?
Each package includes a set number of hours of coverage, high-resolution edited images, a private online gallery, and a wedding client welcome guide to help with planning. Some packages also include an engagement session and second photographer.
Do you help with timeline planning?
Absolutely! I’ll send you a detailed questionnaire 8 weeks before your wedding to gather all the final details. I’ll use this to create a custom photography timeline to ensure we capture every important moment. If you have a wedding coordinator or planner, I will get in touch with them to make sure everything runs smoothly and we are all on the same page.
How many photos will we receive?
Every wedding is unique, but you can expect a minimum of 75-100 fully edited images per hour of coverage.
Do you travel for weddings?

What’s your editing style?
I focus on true-to-life, natural, and timeless editing—no trendy filters or heavy edits. Your photos will look just as beautiful years from now as they do on your wedding day.
How much can we expect to spend?
Every wedding is unique, and I believe your photography should reflect that. My full wedding collections start at $3,750.
For couples planning intimate weddings or elopements, I also offer custom options based on your needs. These start at $1,200.
