Since every Wedding and budget is different, I don’t like to post prices that can deter couples. I like to at least have a conversation before ruling out working together. Head over to my contact page. fill it out and I will send over a Package/Pricing guide.
How many weddings have you shot?
In my 11 year career as a full-time Wedding Photography I have captured over 300 Weddings?
Do you provide videography services?
While I don’t provide videography services, I can recommend some great folks in the industry that make incredible films whom I enjoy working with.
How many images do you deliver?
So, I am definitely a quality over quantity photographer with the intention of telling a cohesive story on your wedding day. (I won’t give you 15 photos of your Wedding Dress) That being said, it really depends on what the day entails. Typically, for a 6 hour Package you're looking at around 300-500 images and for 8 hours , you’re looking at 400-600 photos, give or take.
When it comes to Lifestyle Sessions, for the hour we shoot, you can typically expect 40-70 photos.
Do you have business insurance?
I carry equipment and liability insurance. If a certificate of insurance is needed for a venue, one can be provided.
Do we get the copyright to our images?
Simply put, I retain the “Copyright” as the creator/editor of the photos.
You receive “Print Rights” to all images delivered meaning that you can share and print until your heart’s content.
Do we need to provide a meal for you on the day?
Yes, since I don’t take photos of couples or guests eating, dinner is usually the only time i get a break on the Wedding Day, so a meal is much appreciated.
When should I book a Wedding Photographer?
Typically, couples book anywhere from 6 -24 months out from their Wedding Day. Since I am first come, first serve regarding bookings, I always say the earlier the better!
When will we receive our photos after our Wedding or photo session?
Photos will be ready via an online gallery 6-8 weeks after your Wedding. During peak Wedding SEASOn (Oct-Dec), it can take up to 10 weeks. For Lifestyle Sessions, photos are ready 2-4 weeks after the session.
Will you be the primary Photographer at our Wedding?
Yes, I capture every Wedding I book.
Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes! Engagement Session can be booked without a Wedding or added to a Wedding Package (at a discounted rate) at any point, even after INITIAL BOOKING.
What is your payment terms and options?
Payment terms are as followed: 1/3 of the total packaged price (non-refundable retainer) is due at the signing of the contract. The additional 2/3 is due before the Wedding Day. I will reach out the week of to settle up. I accept cash/check/venmo/paypal.
What is your policy on rescheduling/cancellation?
If your Wedding is postponed and intended to be rescheduled to a later date and I have the date available, i will transfer the date. If your Wedding is canceled with no intention of rescheduling outside of 3 months from your Wedding Date, the non-refundable retainer will be forfeited. If your Wedding is canceled within 3 months of the Wedding Date, couples are contractually obligated to pay the full price of Wedding Package stated in the contract.
Do you carry backup equipment in case of Malfunction?
I shoot with Cameras with double card slots meaning the camera backs up the photos up tWice. I ALSO carry back-up cameras to my main cameras also with double cards slots. When I get home from the Wedding day, I will backup your photos 3 times (1 of them off site from my office) just in case anything WERE TO happen.
Can you hold a tentative date for us?
So, I don’t hold dates. I am first come, first serve. To book your date, I would need 1/3 of the total packaged price (non-refundable retainer) and the contract filled out and executed.
We’re eloping, or having a small backyard/city hall wedding and only need a photographer for a couple of hours. Is this something you offer?
Yes, I offer a 4 hour intimate package that is perfect for days like this. Some of my favorite Weddings ever captured have been small intimate gatherings!
Can we see a full Wedding gallery?
Yes, upon request, I can send examples of full Wedding Galleries.
Will you be posting images of our wedding on your website, Instagram, etc..?
Even though I am terrible at social media, I do update my Online PORTFOLIOS (Website, The Knot, ETC.) every so often. If you don’t want photos shared from your Wedding, just let me know and I won’t publish them.
What equipment do you use?
I have shot most of the major camera brands over my career and currently am shooting Fujifilm cameras.
Do you provide a second shooter at Weddings?
With Second Shooters, I do offer them as an add to any package. I believe they are a must if you want guys getting ready coverage (since I can’t be in 2 places at once). But 2nd shooters really serve a purpose for extra candid coverage as well as backing up the Wedding Day’s most important moments.
Do you edit the photos you take at my Wedding or Lifestyle session?
Yes, I edit all photos delivered, meaning I don’t outsource the editing to a third party or like a lot of Photographers today, use AI todo the majority of the editing. My goal is to personally connect the overall look of the photos (style, color, mood) with the story your Wedding Day.
What if you can’t shoot our Wedding?
So, I have not missed a Wedding in my career, (knock on wood) but in the case I am not able to shoot your Wedding, having a 2nd shooter helps in an emergency situation filling that role. I am also connected with a community of photographers that could potentially step in and handle the duty of your Wedding Day.
