answering some important questions

Where to start....

You are probably a little overwhelmed with so many wedding photographers in our area. That is completely understandable! I created this section, just so I can help you answer some questions and tell you how we are here for you through all of the stages of your wedding planning. Let the fun begin!

I am here to help!

As you first reach out to me, we will schedule either a phone call or a meeting. I always want to know how you two met and what you have in mind for your big day. We will review your ideas and I will answer any questions you have.

Once you decide to hire me as your photographer, we will set up your Engagement Session and will also schedule your wedding planning consultations. I am not only your photographer, but will also help you create a timeline, provide you with a shot list, help with other vendors, and will ask you for your Pinterest or Instagram board. I want to ensure that I understand your vision of your upcoming BIG day!

Reserving your date...

As we have faced many challenges this year due to COVID-19, many of the 2020 scheduled brides had to move their dates. With that in mind, please reserve your date as soon as possible. I shoot one wedding per day and therefore my schedule fills up fast. Right now, I am reserving dates to 2022. A deposit is required to reserve your date.

Engagement Session

How early should I schedule?

It really depends on the time of year. However, the earlier the better. At times my weekends are completely booked. We will find a great time for you.

Best Times?

We shoot engagement sessions all day at times. Depending on the day, we may suggest shooting earlier or later in day.

How much time?

The minimum time you should set aside is about 3 hours. This will allow you to change outfits and will ensure us that we are not rushed.

What colors to wear?

Colors! Yes! A popping color for at least 1 outfit.

Outfits: Dressy, Casual, Creative
