FAQs

I get it — you probably haven’t had to plan the event yet, and it can be a daunting process trying to work out what you need!
When we meet to talk through wedding photography options, the first thing I do is listen and find out what your plans for the day are.
Where the ceremony and reception will be, how many guests you expect to have, first looks, and any other special details you're dreaming of.
We can cover all this when we meet, but it helps if you have at least the outline of the day sketched out before hand, so that I can help you pick the most suitable options.

The short answer is "plenty!"
The longer answer depends on the size and length of your wedding, the size of your wedding party, the number of venues, whether you'd like a second shooter & the general flow of the day.
My goal is to always capture the big and small moments, the people, the venue, and all the beautiful little details.
I also focus on the quality of the photos I deliver, rather than the quantity. I've heard from too many couples who hired a budget photographer complain not about the number of photos they received, but the fact that they don't enjoy any of them. That breaks my heart!
If we work together, I guarantee you'll receive a comprehensive, stunning set of magazine-quality photos you'll enjoy looking at for decades.

Standard turnaround time for delivery of your photos is 6-8 weeks the event date — however, depending on the time of year it may be sooner.
I always try to send a few “sneak peeks” as quickly as possible though, so you at least get a few to share with family and friends right away!

I'm based out of Northern KY, within an hour of the greater Cincinnati area, and 90 minutes from Lexington & Louisville.
I'm happy to drive further than that, or even shoot your destination wedding — we'll just need to coordinate the additional travel details and possible costs.
Destination weddings: I have years of experience in outdoor lifestyle and adventure photography — shooting images of people in stunning locations around the country. I love to travel, so I'm usually eager to work together to make that affordable for everyone.
-
Absolutely! When we meet, we'll talk through your day and the details & moments you want to capture.
I'll also have plenty of prompts and poses for you and your wedding party to ensure you look amazing and have fun at the same time.
If there's a specific pose you want to try or a special guest you want me to capture, don't hesitate to let me know!
I'll also have you prepare a list of family groupings ahead of time to make sure the family photos run smoothly. I limit these to 10 groupings for the sake of time (about 3 minutes per grouping).
-
The images in your gallery will be edited to improve lighting, contrast, sharpness, and color — all of which is a standard process for digital photographers. Therefore, I do not provide the unedited RAW images.
After your wedding or session, I carefully comb through all the images I take to pick all the best images and cull any of the duplicates or duds. I guarantee you'll love all the images you receive, and no special memory will be left on a hard drive somewhere.
-
Yes, absolutely. Many venues will refuse to allow me (or any wedding vendor) on their property without liability insurance.
I've never needed to use it so far, but better safe than sorry!

You can start by filling out the contact form above to provide details including your wedding or event date, location, and telling me a bit about what you are looking for!
I’ll follow up to and schedule a time to chat — on a call, FaceTime, or over coffee — so you have the opportunity to ask any questions and so I can get to know the two of you a little bit more! If you decide you would like to move forward with securing the date, I will send a wedding agreement form for your review and submission as well as a request a 25% retainer to hold the date.
