Commonly Asked Questions
For Inquiring Couples
1
How would you describe your style?
My style is light, bright and airy. I love light, bright, cleanly saturated images that help bring my couples dream day to life.
2
What equipment do you use?
I'm a Nikon girl! I currently shoot with a Nikon Mirrorless Camera, and arrive to every wedding with backup lenses, gear, rain equipment, and a styling kit to ensure your day is as seamless as possible.
3
What do I wear on a wedding day?
We (my second and I) dress professionally to every wedding we shoot, and are typically in black, from head to ankle. A girl has to be able to wear a fun (yet comfortable) shoe.. it IS a celebration!!!
4
How many images will we get?
This is completely dependant on YOUR wedding day. Every couples day is unique. If your one of my more detail oriented brides who spend a lot of money and attention to every detail of your day or have a VERY large group of family and friends that you want images with, you will be getting more images than a couple who is going for a more simplistic, and smaller wedding approach. So while I can't give you a number, I will say that I ensure you get every image that I would want MY photographer to give my on my wedding day.
5
Do you charge a travel fee?
Yes. If your Venue is 2 hours or more away, there is a travel fee. The fee is dependant on the distance of the drive. IF your wedding also ends later in the night, I also request my couples to provide reasonable accommodation for 1 room for myself & second (if applicale) for the night. Looking through a camera for 8+ hours can be very exhausting on the eyes, and driving 2 hours (or more) late at night after a full wedding day is something that can be very dangerous. I have a family that I love and want to ensure I get home to them safely. :-) Thank you for understanding!!
6
Do you give out RAW images?
I do NOT give out RAW images. Reason why? As a creative being, it has taken (SO MUCH) time, sweat and tears trying to figure out WHO I am as a photographer and exactly what style speaks to me. That being said, I want any images that I give to my clients to represent that growth and gives future potential clients an idea of what to expect when they book my services.
7
Do you have liability Insurance?
Absolutely! While wedding days are simply the MOST amazing days, they can sometimes be unpredictable. It is a peace of mind to make sure my business is protected in the event of any unforeseen mishaps or events.
8
We are considering a package with a 2nd Shooter, how do you find your seconds?
I typically have a select few second photographers that I reach out to and have worked with previously. Be assurred that if they are new to me, I have taken the time to interview them, & review their work. If we have worked together before they are aware of what I expect from them on a wedding day and only have the best intentions of serving my couples on their dream day.
9
Were loving what we have seen, what can we expect from you if we move forward?
My number one goal from a wedding day is for my couples to TRUST and know I have their back. I am your #1 hype girl and am there to ensure your day is as amazing as you always dreamt it would be. During the planning process I create custom shot lists for each of my clients to ensure we are getting ALL of the images that are important to them. Not only am I your photographer on the day of, but also think of me as a long lost bestie who is there to ensure you get everything you hoped for from your wedding day... amazing, incredible images included.

4
When should I mail out my Wedding Invitations?
A safe timeline is within 6-12 Weeks from Your Wedding Date.
5
Do I have to tip my Vendors?
As with any situation where you would consider tipping someone, it is NEVER expected, but ALWAYS appreciated. This is a great task to allocate to your Wedding Planner (if you have one), or your Maid of Honor to ensure envelopes are handed out at before the end of the night.
6
Ok.. So How Much Should I Tip?
So this varies based on the Vendor, and your experience with each individual Vendor, but I have attached a little cheat sheet of some rule of thumb guidelines to help give you an idea. of where to start.
