FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My wedding photography pricing is completely custom and based on your wedding date, coverage hours, location, and any desired add-ons (such as an engagement session, second photographer, or custom album). Packages are transparent with no hidden fees for editing, travel within the Chicagoland area, or high-resolution digital delivery. A retainer is required to secure your date, and most couples invest between $3,000–$6,500 for full-day coverage. I’m happy to create a personalized quote tailored to your vision after we connect.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process is designed to be simple, personal, and stress-free. It usually starts with an initial inquiry or consultation call where we chat about your wedding vision, date, venue, and what’s important to you. Once we’re a good fit, I’ll send a personalized quote and contract. After you book with a retainer, we’ll schedule a planning call to discuss the timeline, special moments, and any must-have shots. On the wedding day, I’ll be there to capture everything naturally and unobtrusively. Within 4-6 weeks after the wedding, you’ll receive a private online gallery with all your fully edited, high-resolution photos. If you’ve chosen add-ons like a custom album, we’ll work on that together as well.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a graduate of the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, where I completed my formal education in photography. This foundation, combined with years of hands-on experience as a wedding photographer in the Chicago area, gives me strong technical and artistic skills. I also pursue continuous professional training through specialized workshops and mentorship in natural light portraiture, storytelling, posing, and modern wedding photography techniques. This blend of formal education and ongoing development allows me to create polished, emotional, and timeless images that truly reflect each couple’s unique story.
