You got questions? I got answers!

Where are you located and do you travel?

I'm located in Napa, California and I absolutley travel and would be more than happy to! Travel costs vary based on location.

How long have you been doing photography?

I got my first "big kid" camera nine years ago when I was a junior in high school. I did my very first wedding in 2014 and have done many weddings since. In 2019, I had the pleasure of shooting 31 weddings.

What kind of weddings do you shoot?

ALL OF THEM. Large, small, religious, non-religious, same-sex, you name it. Love is love and I am here for it.

I have a large family, will I be able to get photos with all of them?

Absolutely. Family photos are super important on your big day! In the weeks before the wedding, I'll send a detailed questionnaire and you'll have the opportunity to list out all of the family/group photo combinations you want. This will allow me to help you allocate enough time in the timeline and help me get your family photos done quickly and efficiently at your wedding!

Should I have specific poses in mind?

No no no, not at all. It's literally my job to guide you and capture your story, you don't need to stress about any of that.

There's a cool spot near the venue, can we take photos there as well?

Absolutely. We can work together to make sure we allocate enough time for everything you want!

Do you bring a second photographer to shoot with you at weddings?

Most of my wedding collections do include a second photographer. If you’re having a large wedding or the day is pretty fast-paced, I always advise my couples to invest in a second shooter to ensure that everything is captured and nothing gets missed on your big day. It also provides multiple perspectives - it’s a win-win!

Can I hire the second photographer for only an hour or two?

Nope! When I hire a second shooter, I hire a skilled photographer. So when they agree to shoot with me, they’re turning away work for their own business so they do require a minimum fee associated with their services.

Should we do an engagement session?

Absolutely! An engagement session is the best way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding. We can also get to know each other! Getting to know you guys and how you interact with each other will help me better capture your personalities at the wedding.

Do you back up all of our photos?

Most definitely. While I'm shooting, the images get saved onto two cards to ensure proper back up. Afterwards, your photos get saved onto multiple devices.

Do you also provide video?

Unfortunately I do not, but when you book me, you'll get access to my list of recommended vendors - including videographers.

Do we have to put down a deposit?

Yes! For weddings, I require a $1500 non-refundable initial payment due at the time you sign our agreement. For elopements, I require a $750 non-refundable initial payment due at the time you sign our agreement. This payment reserves my time and I will no longer be advertising availability of this time to any other potential client.

Do you have payment plans?

Yes! After the initial payment, we can work out a payment plan that works for you - as long as your balance is paid in full a week before your wedding.

How many photos will we get?

Every wedding, elopement and session is different but on average, I tend to deliver 75+ photos per hour!

When will we get our wedding photos?

You'll receive your photos no later than two months from the date of your wedding. However, I totally understand the anticipation of seeing the photos so I do my best to deliver as soon as possible. You will also receive some "sneak peeks" shortly after the big day to quench your thirst for photos.
