FAQs

- I offer couples a complimentary engagement session when they book a wedding collection with me. - I charge a 3% online booking fee if they decide to pay online but that can be waved by paying in cash or personal check. - I do charge 30cents per mile after 70 mils. If your wedding venue is over 70 miles from my studio, that is when you will be charged a travel fee. - I do give discounts for weekday weddings. Just reach out and ask!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Worried about — A:“ What do I do with my hands?” B: “Where do I look?” Yeah, I hear that a lot. I’ve spent years learning how to pose all body types for the most elegant results. This is also the perfect opportunity for me to get acquainted with your best angles prior to your wedding. Most of my collections come with an Engagement session! 4 WEDDING DAY One of the most unique elements of my service is that I will assist with dress fluffing, water, all the moving parts that contribute to creating magazine-worthy images, and some of the best customer services you’ll ever receive. Couples NEED to stay hydrated and eat snacks in order to keep up with all of the activities of the day. I know how hangry some people can get and we (you and I) want to make sure to get all of the amazing images your big heart desires. I will direct moments as necessary and then step back into the background in order to document those priceless, naturally-occurring moments in-between. Magazine worthy posted images and those organic feel-good moments. You love that! 5 RELIVE & SHARE YOUR DAY Photographs are delivered 6-8 weeks following your wedding (though you'll receive a few sneak peeks within 24 hours of your wedding--I know, it’s so hard to wait!). I’ll upload your edited images to an online gallery that will allow you to view instantly, download high-resolution files, and, the best part, share right away with your family and friends! Prints, Wedding Albums, and other goodies are also available. Just ask!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Photography was something that I had a true passion for. You can only sit in school for so long and be told "what to do" but for those people, it only goes that far. I had the pleasure of teaching myself everything I know today. I spent years learning the front and back end of my business before I even started so every client could have the most amazing experience possible!
