QUESTIONS AND THINGS
Have a question you don't see answered here? Get in touch!
Do you Photograph LGBTQ+ Couples?
Yes! 1000% yes!
WHAT DO YOU CHARGE FOR WEDDINGS? WHAT ABOUT PORTRAITS?
My wedding package is $4,250 and my portrait sessions (family, senior, boudoir, etc.) are $500. Please contact me for more detailed or flexible package information.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING AS A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
I started photographing weddings as an intern in the summer of 2011. After that I began photographing weddings on my own the very next summer. I've shot over 200 weddings.
HOW MANY HOURS OF COVERAGE DO YOU OFFER?
Usually no more than 8 on wedding days. If you’d like more hours we can most definitely create a specific package for your needs. For portrait sessions, generally no more than 1.5 hours.
HOW MANY IMAGES DO YOU GENERALLY DELIVER?
For a portrait or engagement session you can generally expect to receive about 200 images. For a wedding, usually around 1000. All of this, of course, depends on your particular session.
CAN WE MEET YOU FACE TO FACE BEFORE BOOKING YOU?
That's a fantastic idea. Let's grab coffee or margaritas!
DO YOU OFFER MENTOR SESSIONS?
1000% yes, of course I do. I got my start in this industry because of someone mentoring me and believing in me. It's the least I can do now to do the same for someone else!
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY SENIOR/FAMILY/PORTRAIT/BOUDOIR SESSION? CAN YOU JUST TAKE ME SHOPPING?
I'd totally be willing to take you shopping (online, in store, or in your own closet). If you're serious, I'm serious. Here are some general guidelines to hold you over for now. You do not have to be too matchy-matchy (or too dressy). Wear something that feels like you. If you have more specific questions or need some inspiration, feel free to ask me. I'd love to help style your session!
I'M STILL LOOKING FOR a DJ/VIDEOGRAPHER / WEDDING DESSERTS/ETC. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
I loooooooove planning weddings. I've also worked with tons of area vendors on over 200 weddings. I'd be more than happy to share my knowledge and opinions with you, if you'd like. You can also take a look at my vendor recommendations page. Even if you're not getting married in the Midwest, I've got tons of ideas and would love to help!
WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO HELP ME CREATE A SCHEDULE FOR MY WEDDING DAY?
Of course! In fact, I'd prefer it. I've been a part of so many wedding days. I'd like to think I have a pretty good idea of what works, what doesn't work, and how much time you'll need for varying parts of your wedding. I'd, at the very least, love to take a peek at the schedule you've made for your day!
DO YOU NEED / WORK OFF OF A SHOT LIST?
No, I do not. Like I've mentioned above, I've photographed over 150 wedding days. I have a very good idea of which photos generally need to be taken. That being said, if you have a few specific images you'd like to be absolutely sure are taken (a photo that your parents had taken on their wedding day or a picture of you with your Great Aunt Millie, for example), I'd love to hear about those.
I'M GETTING MARRIED IN HONG KONG AND I'D LOVE TO DO AN ENGAGEMENT SESSION WHERE WE'RE CURRENTLY LIVING (SAN FRANCISCO). I KNOW YOU'RE BASED IN THE MIDWEST. WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO TRAVEL TO US?
Yup yup yes uh huh please. Always. Anywhere.
