Yes! I am now offering film in all wedding packages! You will receive 1-2 rolls of film from your wedding day or wedding weekend. I shoot about 90% digital and 10% film - think of film as an artistic little accessory to your gallery of true to color, crisp, high resolution digital photos.

I offer a range of packages to suit the needs of my couples looking to splurge on their wedding photography. Whether you are looking for partial, full, or multi-day coverage, we will find a collection that best suits your needs.

Most couples will spend between $4,000-$7,000.

Yay!! I’m so excited! First please fill out the form on my inquire page. I will get back to you over email with my availability for your date and we will schedule an introductory call to chat about my process and answer any of your questions. From there one you’ve decided on which package is right for you I will send the contract and deposit over to secure your date. Then let the planning commence!

For weddings + elopements, I require a 50% deposit to secure your date. The remaining fee is due one month before your wedding or elopement. For couple sessions, I require a 50% deposit to secure your date as well, and the remaining fee is due one week before your session. Payment plans are available upon request.

Destination wedding photography packages are all custom as the location, cost of flights, stay, and length of time will all determine individual costs.

Rest assured that travel costs are upfront (no hidden fees) and I will take care of my own bookings (one less thing to worry about when planning a destination wedding!)

Rain can actually make for a super fun wedding and great photos (seriously!)

Here are a few suggestions for how to make the day go smoother: clear or fun colored umbrellas for guests, tents to stay dry under, a dress to change into for the reception, stations in the bathrooms for guests to touch up, wear your hair up, and a stunning white rain coat!

With all this said, if the weather is life-threatening (or gear threatening) we will reschedule!

You can cancel - though I hope you won’t have to! Please note the initial deposit to book is non-refundable. As soon as it is booked via the deposit and contract I make my services unavailable to anyone else for this day.

First off, if something happens and you have to change your date I will see if I am available on the new date. I If I am available I will re-send the contract with your new date for an additional fee of $50.

If I am unavailable on your new date I will see if an associate can take my place day of. I will still handle all communication and editing to ensure that the photographic style will remain as what you signed up for!

If no one is available to take my place the original deposit cannot be refunded, however I am happy to suggest other photographers in my network who may be available.

If you are canceling and not rescheduling, your initial deposit is non-refundable as I’ve my services unavailable to anyone else for this day.

For large weddings a second shooter is recommended, especially if the bride and groom prep locations are far away from one another.

Second shooters add variety to your gallery with more fun shots and angles, insures every little thing gets photographed, and it helps me to be more involved with the most important aspects by having my second take care of other coverage.

Email me if you’d like guidance on this for your wedding.

I do touch-up minor blemishes, a broken nail, bruises, rashes, or anything temporary that does not reflect you or your season of life well. I do not photoshop objects or people out of the background or drastically alter appearances as I believe this alters the organicity of the day. Not to worry though, my job as a photographer is to seek beautiful locations and flatter your true appearance!

For weddings I deliver a preview of about 25-50 photos within one week of your wedding day — because I know how excited you are to see and post this special moment! and I will send you your full gallery at a maximum of 8 weeks of your wedding day.

For elopements and small weddings - a preview of about 10-20 photos within one week and your full gallery at a maximum of 4 weeks.

For couple sessions your gallery will be delivered at a maximum of three weeks. Because these are faster turn-around times, there is no need for a preview.
