Absolutely! Guiding you on posing and expression during the shoot is one of my specialties, and it's an area where my 20 years of experience as a fashion model comes in particularly handy.
Here's the thing: feeling natural and confident in front of the camera doesn't always come easily. But as a former model, I've learned all the tricks to flattering poses, subtle adjustments that make a big difference, and how to evoke genuine expressions that capture your true personality.

The number of hours of wedding photography needed can vary depending on several factors, such as the size of the wedding, the number of events taking place, and the amount of coverage desired. As a general guideline, most couples opt for at least 8-10 hours of coverage to capture the key moments of their wedding day.
During this time, we can typically capture the pre-ceremony preparations, the ceremony, formal family portraits, couple portraits, and the reception. However, if you have a smaller wedding, or if there are multiple events taking place throughout the day, we need to discuss your timeline to figure out how many hours of coverage is necessary to ensure that everything is captured.
It's important to discuss your specific needs and preferences to determine the ideal number of hours of coverage for your wedding day. I can offer guidance and help you create a customized photography/videography collection that fits your budget and requirements.

Whether or not you need a second wedding photographer depends on several factors, such as the size of your wedding, the number of events taking place, and the amount of coverage desired. Having a second photographer can offer several benefits, such as capturing multiple angles and perspectives of important moments and providing additional coverage during events taking place simultaneously.
If you have a larger wedding with multiple events or a complex itinerary, having a second photographer can be a good idea. This can help ensure that every moment of your special day is captured and documented from different perspectives. Additionally, a second photographer can be particularly useful during the ceremony, where there may be multiple angles and moments to capture simultaneously.
On the other hand, if you have a smaller wedding or if you are working with a photographer who has a strong track record of delivering high-quality images and coverage, a second photographer may not be necessary.
Ultimately, the decision to hire a second wedding photographer should be based on your specific needs and preferences. It's important to discuss your options and get a professional opinion on whether or not a second photographer would be beneficial for your wedding day.

As a general guideline, you can expect to receive your wedding photos within 4-8 weeks of your wedding date. This allows me enough time to carefully edit and retouch your images to ensure that they are of the highest quality. However, sometimes, I may be able to deliver your photos sooner, especially if I have a smaller workload.

The number of images per hour that a client will receive can vary depending on several factors, such as the shooting style, the number of events taking place, and the level of coverage desired. However, as a general guideline, you can expect to receive 50 edited images per hour of coverage.
I believe in delivering a high-quality, curated selection of images that capture the most important and memorable moments of your wedding day. I carefully review and select the best images from each part of the day and ensure that each image is expertly edited and polished to perfection.
My editing process includes color correction, exposure adjustments, and basic retouching to ensure that your images are vibrant, crisp, and beautiful. I also take care to maintain a consistent editing style throughout your entire collection of images, so that your photos have a cohesive and polished look and feel.
Ultimately, my goal is to deliver a collection of images that you will cherish for a lifetime. I am committed to providing you with the highest level of service and quality, and I am dedicated to ensuring that you have a positive and stress-free experience from start to finish.

Delivering all digital images via an online gallery with a password is a popular and convenient option for many couples. This method of delivery allows you to easily view, share, and download your wedding photos at any time from anywhere with an internet connection, and the password provides an extra layer of security to protect your images.
When you work with me, I will provide you with a personalized online gallery where you can access all of your wedding photos. Your online gallery will be password protected to ensure that only you and those you choose to share the password with can access your images.
From your online gallery, you can easily view and share your photos with family and friends, as well as download high-resolution images for printing and personal use. Additionally, your online gallery will be available for a set period of time, typically several months, to ensure that you have plenty of time to download and backup your photos.
I believe that delivering all digital images via an online gallery with a password provides my clients with the ultimate convenience and flexibility, while also ensuring that their photos are protected and secure. I take great care in delivering high-quality, beautiful images that you can cherish for a lifetime, and I'm committed to providing you with the best possible experience from start to finish.

Absolutely! I also offer professional videography services to create a truly immersive experience.

Working alongside a talented videographer allows me to seamlessly document your special day from every angle. The benefits of a photographer-videographer team that's already in sync are numerous:

Flawless Collaboration: We've honed our communication and workflow over time, ensuring we work together like a well-oiled machine. You'll never have to worry about us getting in each other's way or missing key moments – we capture them all, from different angles, for a complete picture (and video!).
Cohesive Storytelling: Our styles often complement each other, creating a unified aesthetic between your photos and videos. Imagine a seamless flow where the visuals from your photos seamlessly transition into the moving narrative of the video, telling a beautifully cohesive story of your wedding day.
Anticipating Needs: We understand each other's creative vision and can anticipate each other's needs. This means capturing genuine moments naturally, without disrupting the flow of the day with intrusive movements.
By choosing a photographer who offers videography services or works closely with a trusted videographer, you ensure a truly comprehensive and stress-free experience for your wedding.

As a traveling wedding photographer, I find that going to new locations is one of the most inspiring aspects of my work. Each new location presents its own unique challenges and opportunities, and I love the process of exploring and discovering new settings, backdrops, and lighting conditions.
Whether I am shooting in a bustling city or a secluded mountain retreat, I approach each new location with an open mind and a sense of adventure. I take the time to scout out the best spots for photos and to get a feel for the overall atmosphere and vibe of the location. This allows me to create a customized approach that fits the location and the couple's style and preferences.
In addition to the creative opportunities, traveling to new locations also allows me to meet new people, experience different cultures, and learn about the local customs and traditions. This adds an extra layer of depth and richness to my work and helps me create images that truly capture the essence of the couple and their surroundings.
Ultimately, I believe that being a traveling wedding photographer allows me to offer my clients a unique and personalized experience that goes beyond just taking photos. It allows me to create a one-of-a-kind visual story that reflects the couple's unique love story and the beauty of the location in which it takes place.

I take great pride in delivering high-quality service and ensuring that my clients have a seamless and stress-free experience. To ensure that both parties are fully protected and clear on the terms of our agreement, I require a signed contract for all my wedding photography assignments.

I understand that every couple's needs and preferences are different.

Whether you are looking for a full-day coverage or something less than 8 hours, I can work with you to create a package that meets your needs.

No, unfortunately you can't use your wedding photos for commercial purposes without your photographer's permission. The typical wedding photography contract grants you personal use and printing rights for your photos.

Think of it like this: When you hire a wedding photographer, you're essentially purchasing a license to use their images for personal purposes. This means you can use them for things like:

Creating a wedding album
Sharing photos with friends and family
Posting them on social media
Printing them for personal use
However, commercial use is a different story. This could include using your wedding photos in:

Advertisements
Marketing materials
Products you sell (e.g., wedding invitations)
For commercial use, your photographer would typically need to grant you a separate commercial license.

The first step is scheduling a complementary consultation. We can chat virtually, and get to know each other. This is all about seeing if we're a good fit – after all, it's important you feel comfortable with the person capturing your special day! During the consultation, we'll discuss your vision, answer any questions you have, and see how I can best bring your dream wedding to life through photos.

2. Securing Your Date:
Once we've clicked and you're excited to move forward, we'll solidify everything with a contract. This ensures everyone's on the same page and protects your special day. Along with the contract, a deposit will be required to officially book your wedding date on my calendar. This way, you can rest assured knowing your memories are in good hands!
