style
Can we provide a detailed shot-list for our wedding?
A list of family groupings is always welcome. For the rest of the day, I photograph the day as it unfolds rather than from a checklist.
Do you shoot formal family portraits?
Absolutely. Family portraits remain some of the most important photographs from a wedding day, and we'll build enough time into your timeline to photograph them efficiently and without feeling rushed.
Do you photograph large weddings?
I specialize in intimate weddings and celebrations where a natural, unhurried approach takes center stage. For larger weddings, additional photographers can be added to ensure complete coverage.
Do you help with timelines?
After many years of photographing weddings, I'm happy to help develop a timeline that allows the day to unfold naturally while leaving room for portraits, family photographs, and meaningful time with your guests. I also work closely with planners and other vendors to help everything run smoothly.
official business
How do we book you for our event date?
I require a 50% non-refundable deposit to book the date. Final payment is due 30 days prior to the event.
How far in advance should we book our wedding?
Most couples reserve their date 6–12 months in advance, though I occasionally have availability on shorter notice. If you're planning farther ahead, feel free to inquire.
other details
Can other people use their cameras?
Guests are welcome to take photographs throughout the day.
I simply ask that they not stand beside or behind me while I'm working, or accompany the couple during the first look or couple portraits. Many couples also choose to have an unplugged ceremony, though that decision is entirely yours.
