With 20+ years as a Wedding Photographer, I can tell you that anything can and will happen on a Wedding day. Horrible weather/lighting conditions, disruptive bridal party members, divorced parents--these are just a few of the things a photographer might face. My experience has given me the confidence to handle all situations professionally and guarantee great photos. A side note: There are lots of photographers out there with cool portfolios--but were the images made at actual weddings or were they "Styled Shoots," i.e. models? These are very different working conditions without the stress of the actual day.

Ask lots of questions up front to determine what is included before you book to avoid unnecessary surprises.

We offer both package pricing and Ala Carte options. Keep in mind there is no "right" option. The "right" option is the one that works best for YOU.

Ala Carte is usually a time based coverage where the client books the photographer on an hourly basis. This can be great for smaller weddings or elopements.

Packages are often perceived as a better deal because many times they include photography plus a product like albums or wall art.

Some studios use Associate Photographers to cover events. If this is the case, be sure to meet the person before your event to make sure you like and trust them. Make sure you can see some of this person's work in addition to meeting them--ideally an entire wedding from start to finish. In addition, ask what would happen if this person were to quit or move to a different studio--who would be filling in and would you have a choice as to who would then be photographing your wedding.

Part of my job as a Wedding Photographer is to help you coordinate the timing of certain things to make sure we get all of the images you need. Setting a realistic Timeline ensures a stress free day for my couples and the other wedding vendors at the event.

This is one of the first questions people ask. Some form of digital files are included in the majority of our packages. They are very important from an archival standpoint. But--we also believe it is crucial to have some printed images as well. Most of our Wedding Photography clients choose to create their very first family heirloom with us in the form of a custom wedding album. We believe a flash drive of the wedding images in no way tells the story of one of the most special days in your life--it is merely a collection of files. An album curates the best images into a beautiful story book. See our Video below on why you need a wedding album!

This is important to know ahead of time. Excitement is usually highest right after the event, so we try to deliver images to clients within three weeks. We actually have one of the quickest turn around times in the area. We have all heard horror stories of friends waiting over a year to get their images. Have a reasonable expectation in place BEFORE you sign a contract to avoid frustration and disappointment.

This is a no-brainer. Yes, we have backup equipment and insurance. We use Canon professional grade equipment and a Wedding Photographer MUST have backup equipment. We go out with multiple camera bodies, lenses and lighting because experience has demonstrated that anything that can go wrong will go wrong and your memories are too important to us to leave anything up to chance.

Sometimes for whatever reason things do not always work out as planned. We understand that. But please also understand that we most likely have turned down other couples to hold "your" date. We are always happy to return a retainer IF we can book that date. We will try very hard to do this, but also understand that the closer you cancel to the date of the event, the more difficult it becomes to book that date. Also please note that during this trying time with COVID, we have been successfully working with anyone who wishes to postpone their event and have transitioned them to a future date seamlessly.

Many factors go into pricing a wedding. The amount of time you need, whether you need a second photographer, how much travel is involved, whether you want albums, etc. all factor into the price. Our starting point for all inclusive Wedding Photography Packages begins at $4,250 and go up from there. All inclusive means 8+ Hours and albums and other add ons.
Our hourly Ala Carte Rates begin at $550 per hour. Detailed price lists are only given at a consultation--we want to know exactly what is involved in covering your wedding before we give out quotes to avoid any confusion or miscommunication. We also want to be flexible for you and make sure you are receiving exactly what you want.

Absolutely! We think consistency is very important in Wedding Photography and is one of our strengths. We would be happy to provide you with links to some weddings at different venues.

We cap our Wedding Photography coverage to 20 weddings per year. We feel this is important to ensure we give each couple the time and attention they deserve for one of the biggest events in their lives. We have found that if we go over that amount, client service suffers.

We like to give an estimate of approximately 90 edited photos per hour. So if you book us for 8 hours, that would be about 720 edited images. Of course, if we are having a great time, it could be more!

Absolutely not! As a Wedding Photographer for over 20 years, I have had a ton of training and real life experience. That translates into quickly finding the optimal locations and lighting for Wedding Day photos. In addition, I do also bring lighting equipment in case we need to supplement the ambient light.

To book us as your Wedding Photographer, we simply need a signed Contract and a retainer--Easy-Peasy!
