Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! I want you to feel confident in my wedding photography style before moving forward. In my very first email, I’ll include full wedding gallery samples - both half-day and full-day weddings - so you can see exactly what you’ll receive after your big day. If you already have a wedding plan in mind, I’ll send a sample gallery from a similar wedding I’ve photographed, including details like the timeline, location, and overall planning to help you visualize your own special day.
What do your travel fees include?
I’m based in Columbus, GA, but my love for the outdoors knows no bounds! As an avid camper and hiker, I’ve trekked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, summited Mount Whitney, and explored The Wave at Coyote Buttes North. No destination is too far—I thrive on discovering new places. When you book me for your wedding, there’s no extra travel fee for weddings scheduled at least three months in advance. I see it as an opportunity to experience a new adventure. However, if you’d like me to plan a camping or backpacking trip, there will be an additional fee to cover necessary expenses. With a Master’s Degree in Recreation Administration from CSULB, you can trust me to guide you through any adventure wedding experience. If you’re dreaming of an epic, adventurous wedding, let’s connect - I’d love to bring your vision to life!
What if you've never been to our venue?
There are countless stunning venues, and I’ve had the pleasure of photographing many—while others are still on my list to capture! If your venue is new to me, I’ll schedule a tour before your wedding day to ensure I understand the space and how to photograph it best. As your photographer, it’s essential for me to know the layout, lighting, and best angles so you can focus on what truly matters—being present and enjoying your day. My goal is to create stunning images while ensuring a seamless experience, so you don’t have to worry about a thing!
How many photos will I receive?
I typically deliver approximately 50-70 photos per hour of shooting. However, this number depends on the flow of events, activities, and guest engagement at your wedding. Beyond quantity, I focus on capturing every meaningful detail and heartfelt moment, ensuring you receive a collection of both high-quality and emotionally rich images that truly reflect your special day.
How will I receive my photos?
I know you're excited to share your special moments right away! Thus, I will send you a few high quality sneak peeks as soon as I get back to my hotel or home. The rest of your photos will be delivered through a beautifully curated online gallery, which you can easily share with family and friends. Plus, the gallery includes a shop with high-quality print options, so you can turn your memories into timeless keepsakes.
How long until we receive our photos?
I know how frustrating it can be to wait 4-6 weeks for your full wedding gallery - that's why I do things differently without compromising on quality. You'll receive a preview gallery within 3-5 business days, and I carefully hand-edit every photo to deliver your full gallery in less than 2 weeks. During the busy season (September to December), delivery may take up to 3 weeks, but never longer. I don’t offer rushed edits because professional retouching takes time to ensure every image meets my high standards. Lastly, since the photos straight from the camera are unfinished, I do not provide RAW files..
Do you have a payment plan?
Yes! I offer a flexible payment plan when you confirm your booking. A 50% non-refundable retainer is required to secure your date, with the remaining balance split into three additional installments. To make things easy, I'll help you set up a personalized auto-payment schedule when we discuss your booking.
How long will our photos be safe with you?
I always back up your photos on both my camera and computer to ensure their safety. I won’t format my SD cards until your images are securely uploaded to your gallery and you've had the chance to download them. However, my storage is not unlimited - I keep your photos online for 30 days and offline for up to 365 days. I highly recommend that you take responsibility for storing your photos in a safe place to preserve your memories.
How we receive our final print products?
Your final print products will be carefully packaged and shipped to your home at no extra cost. Each item comes with ready-to-hang accessories, and we also offer complimentary installation for framing and wall art. As a special thank-you, you'll receive a surprise gift from us! I hope you enjoy every moment of your wedding photography experience with me.
