How far in advance should I book?
You should be inquiring to book me as your wedding photographer as soon as you have a wedding date! Wedding photographers book up super fast, and our busy wedding season dates will be gone before you know it! I am already getting pretty booked for 2026, so if you are considering booking with me, inquire as soon as possible!

When will we get our wedding photos back?
I will get sneak peak photographs back to you 24-48 hours after your wedding with around 25 photos. The full gallery will be delivered in 4-5 weeks depending on the package you selected. Keep in mind, during busy season it may take this full duration, while slower seasons turn around time may be relatively faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I secure my date?
If you are taking the chance on me as your wedding photographer I just wanna say a big thank you, it’s a BIG decision! Even if we spoke about your wedding there are a couple things that we need to do to make it official. 1. Sign the contract 2. Pay your deposit (Your date is not secured until you do these things). The reason I have this policy in place is because in order to secure your date, I often have to block out the date for other inquires. This helps protect my business in the case of a cancellation/reschedule.

Is there any consultation before my wedding day?
My goal is to make your wedding day run as smooth as possible. I prefer to meet up with my brides before their big day to go over inspiration, timelines, and make sure we have the “must haves” photography list. I also offer phone call/FaceTime consultations if you are a busy bee and can’t find the time!

If i have to reschedule, do i need to repay a deposit?
Yes, unfortunately the deposit you pay when booking with me goes towards securing your date, so that I can ensure I don't book myself with any other weddings on that date. As such, I often have to turn away wedding inquires that may be booked on your original wedding date, which takes away from my income and the expenses that go with managing a business. In the case of a re-scheduled date, you will be required to re-pay the deposit to go towards your new wedding date.
