Answers to some frequently asked questions

• What is required to book you as our photographer?

  Please get in touch so we can talk about availability and coverage. A signed contract and 50% retainer fee are due up front to save your date with the remaining balance due in full 30 days prior to your wedding.

• Do you offer prints and albums?

  Yes! Print orders are available through the online gallery containing your photos. All prints come standard on archival paper with upgrades to canvas, wood, and metal available at an additional cost. Albums can be purchased at any time and involve collaboration, so send me an email and I will walk you through the process from proof to print!

• What if we feel awkward in front of the camera?

  Not to worry! Did you know almost all of my couples say the same thing? It’s not every day that you’re the center of attention and have someone following you around with a camera - it’s perfectly normal to feel weird at first! Let me be the one to worry about making the photos look awesome. I just want you to be yourselves and have fun! I promise to guide you whenever you need it and even have a few tricks up my sleeve to get the right shots.

• Do you back up your files? What kind of gear do you use?

  Absolutely. I back up my files in 3 separate locations after a wedding to ensure your photos stay safe and sound. All my gear is pro level Canon and Sigma equipment.

• How many images do we receive?

  This varies based on the size of your wedding and number of hours you've contracted for photography, but a typical 8 hour wedding usually yields between 400 and 500 edited photos.

• How long until we receive our photos?

  Your online gallery will be available within 6-8 weeks of your wedding date.

• When should we book you?

  As soon as you're ready! I typically book weddings 8 to 12 months in advance so I recommend getting in touch as soon as you finalize your wedding date.

• Will you travel for my wedding?

  There's nothing I'd love more! Though my home base is Portland, Oregon I shoot roughly half of my weddings each year in the greater San Francisco area and have photographed clients as far away as New York, Tennessee, Iowa, and Arizona to name a few. My bags are packed and my passport is active - take me on an adventure!

Can we hang out?

Yes, please! I love to meet my clients face to face so we can get to know each other, and my hope is that you're looking for a photographer who feels more like a friend than a hired vendor for your special day. Let's grab a drink or set up a Skype call so we can gush about your wedding and discuss my latest theories on Game of Thrones. :)
