Q&A

How many hours of photography do I need?

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 6-8 hours of coverage to capture the key moments of their wedding day.
During this time, I can typically capture the pre-ceremony preparations, the ceremony, formal family portraits, couple portraits, and the reception. However, if you have a larger wedding, or if there are multiple events taking place throughout the day, you may need more hours of coverage and a second shooter 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 package that fits your budget and requirements.

Do I need a second shooter?

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.

How long does it take to get our photos delivered?

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.

How many pictures will I get? Are they all edited?

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 between 50-100 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.

How do you deliver the images?

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.

Do you have a recommended videographer?

As a wedding photographer, I understand the importance of having a cohesive and well-coordinated team to capture all the special moments of your wedding day. While I specialize in photography, I do have preferred videographers that I have worked with in the past and am happy to recommend to my clients.
If you are interested in adding videography services to your wedding package, I can provide you with a list of my preferred videographers who have a similar style and approach to mine. These videographers have a proven track record of delivering high-quality, cinematic videos that beautifully capture the essence of your wedding day. Additionally, if you choose to work with one of my preferred videographers, I can coordinate with them to ensure that we are working together seamlessly throughout the day. We can collaborate on shot lists, timeline, and other details to ensure that we capture all the important moments from both a photography and videography perspective.
Ultimately, my goal is to provide you with a customized wedding package that meets all your needs and preferences. If adding videography services is something you are interested in, I am happy to discuss your options with you and recommend videographers who I trust and who I believe will provide you with the best possible service and quality.

What if we're getting married at a destination?

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.

Do we need a contract?

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.
The contract outlines the scope of services, the payment terms, and other important details that will ensure that everything runs smoothly on your wedding day. It will also protect both you and me in case of any unforeseen circumstances or issues that may arise.
By having a contract in place, you can rest assured that your wedding photography needs are taken care of, and you can focus on enjoying your special day. I am committed to providing transparent and reliable service, and the contract is just one way to ensure that this happens.
If you have any questions or concerns about the contract or its contents, I am more than happy to discuss them with you. My goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for you, while also providing you with the best possible service and quality.

Do you shoot weddings less than 8 hours?

I understand that every couple's needs and preferences are different. While some couples may require full-day coverage, others may only need a few hours of coverage to capture the most important moments of their day. That's why I offer a range of wedding photography packages that can be customized to fit your specific needs and budget.
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. We can discuss your timeline, the key moments you want to be captured, and any special requests you may have.
