Your Wedding
Photography Guide

For any wedding that requires a flight within the US, I just ask for a hotel room for 2 nights (3 nights if I'm covering the rehearsal dinner). For weddings over 100 miles away but drivable within 2 hours, I ask for a hotel the night before and the night of, mostly so you know I'm already in town and not racing against traffic on your wedding morning. For international weddings, an additional room may be needed depending on the situation. All travel (flights, hotel, rental car) is reimbursed after the wedding. I'll find good deals and invoice you after. Reach out for custom quotes on anything international.

One month for weddings. Two weeks for engagement sessions.

Through an online gallery that's easy to use. Everything is high resolution and fully edited. You can download straight to your phone or computer, make favorites lists, share with family and friends, and place print orders right from the gallery.

Around 100 per hour for weddings. 150+ for engagement sessions.

Yes, every one is fully color corrected. I also remove anything distracting: blemishes, trash on the ground, random people in the background who don't belong there.

I stick to my one style, and it's intentional. I want your photos to have continuity across the whole day. Not a mix of different looks depending on the light or the moment. My style is also timeless. Dark and moody has a shelf life. Yours won't.

Technically forever. But I always recommend downloading everything immediately when you get it and backing it up to a hard drive. Don't leave it solely in the cloud.

Nope. You'd need professional software just to open them, and a huge part of my style comes from the editing. The finished images are what you're hiring me for.

Yes! I love a good B&W. Any photo I convert, you'll also get in color. I tend to make ones B&W that feel sentimental, romantic, or that I just love the composition of.

That's literally my whole thing. I don't expect you to know what to do. It's awkward, I completely get it. I use prompts and movement to get you out of your head and into the moment. Natural reactions. Not stiff, prom-style poses.

A lot of things: save the dates, a guest book for the wedding, framed prints at the reception, thank you cards. I have discount codes for Minted and Basic Invite, both offer free address labeling, just ask. And please don't print at Snapfish or CVS. The colors never come out right.

Of course. Engagement sessions are a great practice run and a good way to get comfortable together before the wedding, but if you've already done one, I'll take $500 off your package. I'd still love to grab drinks or brunch beforehand so we can actually meet before your day.

1 to 2.5 hours before you need to be anywhere, depending on whether you're doing a first look. More buffer is always better. You don't want to feel rushed right before your ceremony.

I use an on-camera flash only, so you don't have to worry about extra equipment being set up in the room or killing the vibe.

String lights, always. If you want more of a party feel, ask your DJ to use white lights only. Colored lights, especially red or green, can look really strange in photos. Trust me on this one.

Honestly, I'm bummed when I can't be there, so I discount the package as a kind of wedding gift from me to you. I also just want great photography to be available to more people.

Yes. I've trained my associates to shoot the way I do. But the biggest factor is editing. Every gallery comes back to me and gets edited in my style before it goes to you. So yes, they'll look like mine.
