 FAQs

 
  • YES! I shoot both digital and film. Digital always comes first for me, however I always have about 3 film cameras with me during your wedding or session. My collections include both film and polaroid with the option to add on more rolls. 1 Roll = 36 Images.

  • If you’re ready to book, just fill out the contact form and we will get everything set up! I want to know all about you and what you’re planning, and then I’ll get back to you within 24 hours via email and we’ll move forward from there to set up a meeting. I require a 30% retainer to officially reserve your date, and then we’re good to go!

  • My shooting style is a mix between documentary and editorial. My goal is for your photos to look elevated while staying true to life. I want you to remember how you felt and looked in every moment. To achieve this harmonious balance I am gently guiding and directing you while continuously snapping photos to get that candid moment.

  • My past couples have described working with as being “the best decision they ever made.” My goal during our time together is to create a real connection that translates into your photos. You will feel confident, authentic, and in the moment when shooting with me. I will be gently guiding you the whole time and offer direction or prompts when needed. But trust me, you being yourself in front of the camera is what creates the magic, and I will be there to capture it all.

  • Immediately after we shoot I back up all of your files in multiple locations. Then within a week I send over your sneak peek gallery! In the following weeks I go through every single photo shot, select the best ones, and edit! I do not limit how many photos I share. I include both color and black and white versions of the best images. After I am done editing I will send you a final gallery with high-res images for you to download and share. Turnaround time for weddings is 6-8 weeks and couples sessions is 4-6 weeks.

  • Absolutely! I require a 30% non-refundable retainer to secure your date and the remaining balance due 1 month before your event date. I am open to adding more payment dates if needed.

  • If we’ve already booked a date and you need to cancel or reschedule, your retainer is non-refundable and you will need to make a new one to reserve a new date. In the event of a global shutdown where we must cancel, we will work together to come up with the best solution.

  • Absolutely! Planning is where the magic happens. This is where we dig deep into your vision and ideas and make your wedding unique to you! I am here for you every step of the way from timeline assistance, styling, creative ideas, and vendor recommendations.

  • Second shooters are both required and included in your package for weddings with a guest count over 50 and any weddings over 6 hours. Multiple shooters provide an extra creative perspective and help ensure that no moment is missed. Overall, I highly recommend it.

  • I don’t give out the RAW images because so much of the magic happens during editing! That said, I try my best to include all the most important moments (big and small) from the day, and if I missed anything, don’t hesitate to reach out.

  • If we are shooting within 2 hours of where I live, Norfolk VA, there are no travel fees. If your event is more than 2 hours of travel a mileage fee and accommodations will be included in your package.

    If your event requires roundtrip flights out of ORF, accommodation, and rental cars I can either look up averages and add these on when we first book and run them by you (so even if prices go up, I would cover the difference!). Or if we want to wait and see if flights drop, we can do that. It’s totally up to you! I book all my own flights.

  • I would love too! Heirloom albums are available to add on to any event or session. I work to curate the album design so that it tells a cohesive story of your day. Each album is printed on archival ink and museum-quality paper and is built to last.
