Frequently ASked
questions!?
​​
HELLLOOOOO
WELCOME to the zillion questions portion of my page. LOL. A ton of this information is in my welcome packet I send out once you book with me, but sometimes you need to know before right!? So i like to lay it all out there and let you make the decision based on what fits your needs.
It's not only important to know what you're getting from your photographer. but who they are as a person too. This is your big day, and I am going to be right next you. You want to work with someone who you click with and can allow into your personal space. So lets meet and chat instead about all of this!

First thing first.
I don’t see any hourly rates? What are they? Well, I do not charge anything by the hour. Why!? Because selling you an hourly package is not the way I do business. I personally love to tell stories with my photographs. And I can’t tell the whole story unless I am there to capture it!
Have you ever shot at our venue before? More than likely YES! However, if I haven't, I have likely scout it out before your big day so i know of some great places we can get stunning photos.
Do you carry extra equipment? Yes. Backups for all equipment! No excuse for equipment malfunctions with me.
What about lighting? I LOVE natural lighting - but of course, I know how to use artificial light to make sure your photos are bright and light. Or if you don't mind the grain, we can do no flash and go for ambient lighting. Your call!
Would you recommend or follow a shot list? I have a list of shots in my head I know every bride and groom want. So technically yes. However, when it comes to family formals, we will sit down before the big day and write out every single person that is supposed to be in which family formal. This way you have a list to give to everyone so they know where to be and when. And I have a list so we can make it happen as fast as possible so we can get to the fun stuff!
SIDENOTE - I will highly recommend at least 1 hour with a 2 photographer package between ceremony and reception for the creative photo session. OR the two of you have a first look. but I always recommend a first look anyways - ask me and I'll tell you why!
How soon would an engagement session take place?
They can happen as soon as both of our schedules allow for it! Again I don't have any hourly restrictions or location restrictions. I have an ever-growing list of locations I have shot at, so if you need help picking a place, just please ask!
​​
Engagement session location?
Shoot locally within 1.5 hour drive for free, OR for $500 let's explore! I offer engagement sessions anywhere in the USA!
What does that look like!?

150- 300 mile radius is $500​
300+ Miles $1,000

​
​
Can we order prints or albums directly from you which are not included in the package? You receive an Online Album which is directly linked to my professional printing lab. You will own the rights to print elsewhere. However, I can not guarantee the quality of these prints. I only recommend Mpix.com for best quality.
​
How soon could we work out a contract? Once you tell me you want to book with me, the date is yours! We will sign the contract and collect a deposit at the engagement session.
Do you do a deposit? How much? Due dates and time frames for the deposit and total investment? Deposit is $550. Due at the engagement session. You can make payments at any time. Total investment due 30 days prior to the big day.
there is a 3% Fee added onto credit card payments. bank transfers, checks, cash, venmo are fee free
What is your cancellation policy? I hope you don't cancel but in the case you do, I will keep the deposit for the engagement session, and return any other payments that have been made.
​
I have more questions - can we meet and chat? YES PLEASE! I love to meet at Starbucks because free wi-fi and coffee is life! Let’s set up a date!
