what to expect

When you choose to work with me, you can expect a blend of professionalism with an even-tempered approach. To begin our journey together, I find it very helpful to connect via either a phone call or video chat. This allows us to ensure compatibility and alignment with your wedding vision. During this initial conversation, I'm eager to learn about not just your photography needs, but the entirety of your wedding plans. Drawing from my experience and expertise, I'll make sure to present a collection with options that best suit your needs.

Once you've selected a collection, I'll prepare a contract for your review and signature. Upon confirmation, a 40% non-refundable retainer is required to secure your date. From there, I remain readily available for ongoing communication in the months and weeks leading up to your special day.

Past couples have often remarked on the enjoyable experience of working with me, noting that I have an ability for putting them at ease in front of the camera.

As someone who's famously impatient when waiting for photos, I truly understand the anticipation you might feel. That's why I'm committed to providing you with a sneak peek within a day or two after your wedding, ensuring you don't have to rely solely on others' cell phone snapshots. Your complete gallery will follow within 2 months after the sneak peek, allowing you to relive every moment of your special day at your leisure.

WHAT IF I DON’T FEEL COMFORTABLE GETTING MY PHOTO TAKEN?
From my experience, I've found that nearly 95% of individuals express similar sentiments: they want to feel at ease and appear natural in front of the camera. Drawing upon years of experience working with diverse personalities, my primary aim is to ensure you not only look your best but also enjoy the photography process. I meticulously consider factors such as your outfit choice, lighting conditions, and overall setup to optimize every shot for exceptional results.
