wEDDING & ENGAGEMENT - FAQs
HOW LONG WILL YOU BE PHOTOGRAPHING AT OUR WEDDING?
That depends on the package you choose! For most couples, I recommend Package #2 because you get 8 hours of coverage for your big day and an engagement session which allows us to work together before the wedding.
HOW MANY PHOTOGRAPHS WILL WE RECEIVE IN OUR GALLERY?
Again this depends on the package you choose. The more time I am there covering your wedding, the more photos you will get in your gallery. If you don't want to miss a moment or detail, it is best to go with the package that best allows me to capture it all.
DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH POSED OR CANDID?
Both! At weddings, it is a good mix. The ceremony and reception are candid. Family portraits are posed. The pictures of you and your love are a mix of candid moments alone and prompted posing with my assistance (I am good at being the third wheel). We want the photographs to tell the story of your big day naturally, but some of those posed pictures can be stunning.
DOES THE TIME OF DAY MATTER?
Yes, the time of day does matter because the lighting will be so different from the middle of the day to the early evening. This is one thing that couples often do not think of, so I will be happy to educate on how the different times of day, year, and inside versus outside will look in photographs.
DO YOU TRAVEL?
is there a travel fee?
If the location is under a two-hour drive, there is no travel fee. If I am going beyond that it is just case by case, so let’s talk about your dream venue! I’m a girl who loves to travel.
Yes! I travel throughout the nation and international as well. Let's talk about your dream day.
FAMILY - fAQs
Can I purchase Prints or albums?
Yes! You can order straight from the online gallery is that is delivered and I have plenty of insightful information if you choose to print yourself. I also can create albums for you so you don't have to do a thing!
I have no idea what to have my family wear, can you help?
Absolutely. I have a style guide I will send with color scheme ideas for the different seasons. I am happy to give opinions and assist here. Clothing choices and colors/patterns can have a big impact on how your photos look.
What happens if my child has a meltdown?
That's life with children. It can be messy and not always picture-perfect. I strongly suggest my clients accept this and go with the flow. We will try to make the shoot fun and not stressful for the family. Having lots of cuddles and playtime as I photograph. I am a mama too, I understand all the stages. Having little rewards (yes bribery) is also a great option!!
MATERNITY & NEWBORN - fAQs
HOW DO DRESS RENTALS WORK?
We discuss colors, styles, and sizing then I will work with a local stylist to provide options available. Typically I handle the pickup and drop-offs of all dresses.
CAN MY FAMILY BE IN MY MATERNITY PHOTOS?
Yes! They can be a part of it, however, I do keep the main focus on you.
HOW DOES THE MATERNITY/NEWBORN PACKAGE WORK?
When selecting this package, we book the maternity shoot upfront, and once the baby arrives you will reach out to me. Typically it is scheduled between the week one mark and three weeks.
