In terms of posing in front of the camera - I'M AWKWARD TOO! We all struggle with what to do with our hands or where to look. That's why I like to make my sessions more like a series of fun activities. Less awkward standing and posing and more natural movement! Feel free to laugh, tell some stories, and just have fun. To me, your photos should be equally as much about the experience as the final product. So, lets have a good time!

Not only does a second shooter provide insurance for the main photographer in the case of any equipment failures, it also provides more than one angle during ceremonies (so that we can catch multiple reactions) and ensures parts of the day where you can't have a "do-over" aren't missed. A second shooter is necessary during the morning for "getting ready" photos since I simply can't be in two places at once. Having a second shooter throughout the day also provides almost double the number of images that you would receive, so there is a lot of value.

Payment can be made with E-Transfer (preferred!), credit card, or check.

Payment is scheduled to be made in 3 payments: a $1500 retainer to secure your date, 50% of the remaining balance due 6-months before the wedding date (or 3-months before the wedding date for bookings less than seven months from the wedding date), and the final 100% of the remaining balance due 2 weeks before the wedding date.

For bookings less than four months away from the wedding date, a 2-payment plan will be used instead.

Pricing includes the session's time, skill, transportation and travel time, a print release, fully edited artwork, album design, and a downloadable e-gallery. Other considerations for fees that the photographer accumulates include equipment upgrades, software subscriptions, domain fees, website upgrades, second shooters, marketing, client meetings, administrative time, taxes, and education to name a few.

Long story short - a lot! I provide about 50-100 images for every hour of shooting. However, there is no photo limit so if we shoot a lot, you get a lot! I select the best images from the shoot, avoiding duplicates, but making sure everyone looks their best. Each image is then individually edited and stylized for maximum quality.

You will receive your Online Gallery and Custom Album Design 8-12 weeks after your wedding date during the reveal session.
This timeframe is critical to ensure all your photos are individually edited to the highest quality and your album flawlessly presents the story and experience of your day.

Well, it's super exciting that what it is!
Your Reveal will be a mini celebration where you will experience all your amazing wedding photos for the first time. It will be an exciting in-person or virtual event we will schedule for 6-8 weeks after your wedding date. During this time, you will get to relax, pop some champagne, and watch a slideshow of the best images from your wedding day. Feel free to invite friends, family, or anyone else that you would like to share in this moment. This is also when you will have the opportunity to view your custom wedding album design, make any changes, and purchase any custom art for your home.

In the past, any rescheduling of your wedding date would result in the loss of your retainer. However, in the COVID era of today, I have found this to be a bit too harsh. So instead, I now charge a $750 rescheduling fee. This covers the cost of missed opportunities, the loss of a future booking on the new date, and annual price increases. If this occurs, after the fee is paid I will transfer your original retainer payment as a reservation for the new date - but all of the details for this will be outlined in your photography contract!
