 Frequently Asked Questions

Are taxes included?

Yes! I include the cost of taxes into every booking, so there is no additional add-on.

When are costs due?

The first retainer of 25% is due when you sign your contract. We can set up a payment plan if you’re interested, but final payment is due 1 month before your elopement day. For just a 3 hour elopement booking, this is $950.

Are digitals included?

Yes! Edited jpegs in color and black and white are included in your cost. I don’t have any cap or limit to how many you get! It’s a gallery full of the best of the best.

Can we have the photos re-edited?

Once you receive the full gallery, there are no re-edits. I edit all photos to look more artistic, which changes the colors and tones in the photos. The editing is inspired by paintings (Baroque, Renaissance, and Impressionism) and the tones are typically darker. I understand this isn’t everyone’s favorite style, so I am happy to recommend other photographers to book if you’d prefer different editing.

Do you photoshop photos or use AI?

The only photoshop/AI I use for photos is to remove anything that might be distracting (graffiti on rocks, other people in the background) or any small blemishes that are not permanent (acne, etc.) but I will not use photoshop or AI to change the size of the client or remove wrinkles. If you’d like further photoshop to your photos after they are delivered, you can send them to another company that specializes in this work.

How do you pose?

I like to do a mix of posing and documentary - some people like a lot of direction and a lot of posing while others only need a small mix. I’m happy to help as much as you’re comfortable with! Most of my posing is more like suggestions : “wrap your arms around each other and check out that view.” “can one of you lead the other through this field right here?” That way you feel like you’re getting help with posing but it’s still natural!

What if we feel super awkward about being in front of the camera?

Seriously every single person I’ve photographed has been nervous/felt awkward. So all those beautiful people you see on my site are just normal people, not professional models! I try my best to help you relax and feel natural and have fun during your shoot. I tend to goof off a lot, and I won’t put any pressure on you to feel like you need to perform for the camera. I also try to find secluded spots if you don’t want to pose in front of strangers. Feel free to let me know what you’re nervous about so that I can make it an awesome experience for you.

Will you help with a timeline?

Absolutely! If you need help coming up with a timeline from scratch or just want me to look over one that you already have in mind.

What does your planning include? Will you book vendors for us?

My planning includes helping find locations where you can have your ceremony/photo shoot, sending suggestions of vendors, helping with a timeline, etc. It does not include booking or reaching out to vendors, and it does not include applying for permits.

What if you can't make it?

If I can’t make it on your wedding day for some insane reason, I’ll make sure another photographer is there for me instead and I’ll still be the one to edit the photos.

What about canceling/rescheduling?

If you decide to cancel, the retainer you paid is non-refundable but you can transfer it. That means you can use it for another date or give it to a friend/family member. If you decide to reschedule, please stay in touch with me so we can find a new date that works for both of us - if you reschedule to another date that I have already booked, you do not receive your retainer back.

What if it's raining?

Rain is one of my favorite things in the world! I’ve photographed in all sorts of rain many a time. I always keep umbrellas in my car for you or for your guests, I also have warm blankets in my car too. If the rain is too much we can find another spot that’s covered (either by trees or by a building) or, if time/scheduling permits, we can move to a different time of day or another day.

What if we don't want help with planning?

That is fine if you decide you just want me to be there for photos, but there is no discount if you decide you don't need help with brainstorming, ideas for the best time of day, or help with your timeline.

Do you offer discounts?

Nope. Prices are firm.

How To Book

THANK YOU! I'm unbelievably excited and honored that you'd like to book me in as your wedding photographer.
Let's get the party started!

use this calendar to select your date

Once you tell me your date —

I’ll send over a proposal where you can select your hours (you can always add on more later if you’d like) as well as if you want to add on film-photography or an engagement session. From there you go right into signing the contract and an invoice for your non-refundable 25% retainer.

This will officially hold your spot. From there we can set up an automatic payment plan in whatever form works best for you. I look forward to meeting you so soon!
