How do you approach a Wedding Day?
The photos are important, but the MOST important thing about your wedding is that you enjoy yourselves. If you’re having fun, incredible photos will follow. We’ll make time on the day for more formal photos, and we will definitely spend time making beautiful, creative portraits…. but a lot of your wedding day will be documented as all of the moments happen. I want you to be relaxed and enjoying every moment.
How Much should we budget for wedding photography?
My packages start at $4250, but I create my collections on a bespoke basis so that you get a service that’s exactly tailored to you. Therefore, that’s just a guide. Depending on whether you want prints, canvas, albums or any other extras or if you are having a more intimate affair, let’s chat on how we can put together a collection that gives you everything you need.
Do you recommend an Engagement Session?
Absolutely. It makes for better photos on the wedding day as you’re already relaxed around me. I especially recommend it for couples who aren’t crazy about having their photo taken. From the beginning, I’ll take the time to get to know you both, to find out what makes you tick. The better I know you, the better the photos will be. It helps me to plan the engagement session, but more importantly, it enables me to create a beautiful collection of photos that you’ll love.
Are you available to help with Timeline Planning?
Absolutely. It’s one of my favorite parts of planning. I would love to help you create a timeline that allows you to enjoy your day spending time with the people that make up your world and get killer photos.
Do you offer Albums and Prints?
Yes, I offer gorgeous heirloom-worthy leather albums. All thick pages and luscious quality – you’ll love them as much as I do. You don’t have to include an album in your package, however they make beautiful, timeless heirlooms and they’re worth doing right if you decide you’d like one.
How do you edit Photos?
I like to showcase your day as it unfolded and make the memories you already have more vivid. I hand-edit every single image to make sure the lighting is excellent, but I try not to mess with them too much. In the coming years, I want your images to truly reflect your wedding day. My editing and finish work has a classic feel and, while I dig trends in photography, your wedding photos will be passed down to your grandchildren and I want them to have a timeless feel. And yes, I love a little monochrome here and there.
