I'm so excited that you are interested in choosing me to document your wedding!
My expertise lies in capturing weddings through a blend of editorial and documentary styles. As a passionate individual, I draw inspiration from each couple and their exceptional love story. I believe that every couple's love journey is unique, and I strive to document those special moments as they happen with a documentary approach.
My approach allows me to document your wedding day as it naturally unfolds, capturing each moment and detail along the way. I focus primarily on natural emotions to reflect your distinct personality while incorporating other imagery you can cherish and share with future generations. With my style, you can relive your wedding memories over and over again for the rest of your life.
The first step is to fill out the contact form on the website.
We'll set up a consultation to discuss your needs and vision for your wedding photography.
To secure the date, a signed contract and a retainer fee are required.
This is a great way for us to get to know each other better and for you to get comfortable in front of the camera.
The photographer communicates with the couple to discuss the timeline, specific shots or poses they want, the family formal shot lists, and any special requests. You will receive a wedding guide containing many tips and advice from the photographer.
The photographer works closely with the couple and their wedding planner to ensure a smooth and efficient photography process.
A sneak peek will be sent within 72 hours and the rest of the wedding photos will be finished in 8 to 10 weeks.

Unless you’re a model, being photographed probably feels a little awkward. I do this for a living and my wife and I still always feel a little out of place when we have our photos taken every year.
I'm a big fan of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how I pose. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits - which is why
I’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time.
Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, we’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding.
All of my collections include a complimentary engagement session. It's complimentary, so you can use it or not if you wish!

HOW LONG HAS THE ONLINE GALLERY BEEN ACTIVE?
I deliver every single photo that I edit, but not every single photo that I take. On average, the final edited gallery for an 8-hour wedding day usually has 350 to 600 photos. The final image count depends on how much "action" happens on your wedding day, the number of formal portraits, schedule, etc.
The turnaround time for the edited wedding gallery is around 8 - 10 weeks, depending on my current editing queue.
In order to book, I require a non-refundable retainer fee of $500. This along with a signed contract will secure your date, and I will turn away all other potential wedding or business inquiries for your wedding date.
Unfortunately, no. The raw, unedited files are not included or typically delivered. This would be similar to asking your florist for the stems that were trimmed off. Or asking your dress or tux shop for all the excess fabric.
In case, I have not been to your wedding venue before. I like to arrive 15 - 30 minutes early on the day to familiarize myself with the grounds and note any potential locations that would be good for couple and family portraits.
I also arrive prepared with equipment to shoot in any lighting situation - using my own lighting if necessary. And I'm able to assess the lighting that's needed within 5 - 10 minutes of scanning the room.
Yes. All my wedding packages include two photographers for your wedding day. With two photographers, we can capture moments from different angles simultaneously. This ensures that important moments, expressions, and details are not missed, providing a more comprehensive documentation of the wedding day.
After I send you an offer and you don’t have any questions, the deadline for making a decision is ten days. If I don’t hear anything from you in that period of time, I will release the date. So feel free to ask everything you want to know. There is a possibility that more couples ask for the same date. In that case, the first couple who pay the retainer fee first will have the date.
After I send you the gallery with the password, it is active for three months, and after that, the gallery is deleted. That’s enough time for a couple to share a link with guests and download all the photos on several devices.
thank you!
