Weddings = big feelings + big questions. Good news: I’ve already answered the ones that make couples spiral at 2 a.m. This FAQ page is basically your wedding-photography cheat code—short, sweet, mildly unhinged (in a good way), and here to save you from doom-scrolling for answers. Scroll, skim, screenshot—whatever works. I’m just here to make this part easy.
Wedding Photography
FAQs
Zero confusion, zero quests to Mordor, just straightforward info to keep your planning adventure smooth.
I want you to be present in your day—not performing it. I’ll be your quiet background character, documenting all the raw, in-between moments while making sure the light hits right and you look iconic. No fake, awkward posing energy here.
BUT when it’s family portrait time… my final boss form activates. I become a slightly unhinged, highly efficient director who gets everyone in place fast before Uncle Steve wanders off. And when it’s just you two? I guide you through it so you get effortless, gorgeous photos that feel like you.
What's your approach to a wedding day?
I consider myself a bit like Persephone- Goddess of Spring, but also Queen of the Underworld. I love true-to-color, bright and colorful photos, but also adore the dark side. Night time portraits, dark venues with rich Mahogany walls... yup, also my jam.
What's your Photography style?
Every wedding couple is a bit different in what they want as a final product. On average couples spend around $5500. My most popular wedding collection includes 8 hours of coverage, a second photographer, engagement session, digital gallery, and timeline planning at $3950. Most couples will add on an album, wall art, or professional print products as well.
how much will it cost?
Not really. With 14 years of experience and 300+ weddings under my belt, I've pretty much seen every lighting situation, venue set up, crazy wedding chaos there is. In fact, I LOVE working somewhere new so I can use some creativity and get excited for new locations.
Does it matter if I've worked at your venue previously?
Yes, everyone is awkward and I will help you with posing. Or un-posing. I go for more "actions" than poses. I love telling you to do silly little things and get your in-between moments of connection - that's what it's all about right? Don't worry, you get most of the awkwardness out at the engagement session so it all comes naturally on your wedding day.
We're awkward-will you help us pose?
Much to the dismay of my bank account, I have more photography gear than I'll ever need, so if a camera/lens goes down on the wedding day, not to worry.
All cameras have dual memory cards so your photos are INSTANTLY backed up.
I love having a second photographer because should I incur an injury or food poisoning on the wedding day, someone is already there for you. I also work with a close knit group of local photographers. As small business owners, we all have each other's back if something crazy comes up.
What's the plan if something goes wrong?
Absolutely! Highlights are on my IG, and blog posts have about 200 images from each wedding day. I always say blog posts will give you insight to every part of the day, different venues, times of year, weather conditions. I do respect my client's privacy and only share full galleries with couples that meet with me. I don't want photos of people's children, homes, addresses, and other private information going out all willy nilly.
Can we see full galleries?
I don't have a dedicated video team but do have a list of videographers that I LOVE working with.
Love Legacy Films
1K Words Media
Antonelli Visual Media
I suggest staying away from big nationwide photo/video companies, as those tend to not vibe as well with my team.
do you offer video?
25% retainer at booking
50% due 6 months prior
75% due 3 months prior
100% due 2 weeks prior to wedding date
How do payments work?
Every wedding day is a bit different, but typically around 75 photos per hour.
How Many photos do we receive?
It is essential that I help with the timeline to ensure your day is covered properly for all the photos you want. I'm an expert at how long things ACTUALLY take and ensure there is padding in case anything goes off the rails.
Do you help with timeline?
My black coffee, black wardrobe, emo heart soul loves low light. There's something special about being able to control the light in my photos through off camera lighting. Some may say I'm a bit of a Sith lord when it comes to darkness- I embrace it fully.
How do you handle low light?
No wedding or couple is the same. Customization is always available so you get EXACTLY what works best for you
