QUESTIONS
What types of weddings do you photograph?
I photograph all types of weddings, including traditional church ceremonies, outdoor celebrations, intimate elopements, grand destination weddings, and themed events. My experience spans diverse cultures and traditions, ensuring I can capture the essence of your special day, no matter the style.
Do you only shoot weddings locally?
No, I’m thrilled to travel for destination weddings, both domestically and internationally. Whether your wedding is in a quaint local chapel or on a sun-kissed beach halfway around the world, I will be there to capture every beautiful moment.
How long have you been in business?
I have been capturing beautiful wedding moments for over 10 years. During this time, I have photographed hundreds of weddings, each unique and special in its own way, which has honed my skills and deepened my passion for wedding photography.
What makes your photography style unique?
My style is a blend of photojournalism and editorial photography. This means I focus on capturing candid, real moments as they happen, while also providing beautifully composed, magazine-worthy shots. This combination ensures that your wedding photos will be both genuine and artistically stunning.

Do you work alone or with a second shooter?
Depending on the package you choose and the size of your wedding, I offer both solo shooting and the option to have a second photographer. A second shooter can capture additional angles and moments, ensuring no detail is missed, especially during larger events.

How would you describe your working style on the wedding day?
On your wedding day, my goal is to be as unobtrusive as possible, capturing natural moments as they unfold. I blend into the background during key moments, ensuring I capture genuine emotions and interactions. When it’s time for posed shots, I provide gentle guidance to help you feel comfortable and look your best.
What happens if you’re unable to shoot our wedding due to an emergency?
In the unlikely event that I am unable to shoot your wedding due to an emergency, I have a network of trusted professional photographers who can step in. These colleagues share my style and standards, ensuring that you still receive the high-quality photography service you expect.
Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes, I offer engagement sessions as part of my wedding packages or as a standalone service. Engagement sessions are a wonderful way to get comfortable in front of the camera and to get to know me as your photographer. The photos from these sessions can also be used for save-the-dates, wedding websites, and other pre-wedding needs.
Can we customize our wedding photography package?
Absolutely. I understand that every couple has unique needs and preferences, so I offer customizable packages. Whether you want additional hours of coverage, a second photographer, or specific types of photo albums, I can tailor a package to fit your requirements and budget.
How far in advance should we book you for our wedding?
I recommend booking as early as possible, typically 9-12 months in advance, especially if your wedding date falls during peak season. This ensures that I am available for your special day and allows ample time for any planning or consultation meetings.
How do you handle family and group photos?
I work with you to create a list of must-have family and group shots before the wedding day. On the day, I manage the process efficiently, ensuring that these important photos are taken quickly and smoothly, so you can get back to enjoying your celebration.
Can we provide you with a shot list?
Yes, I encourage you to share a shot list of any specific photos you want to ensure are captured. While I focus on capturing the natural flow of the day, a shot list helps me prioritize and ensures that no important moments or details are missed.
Do you have backup equipment?
Absolutely. I always bring backup cameras, lenses, and memory cards to ensure that I am prepared for any technical issues. This redundancy allows me to continue capturing your wedding without interruption.
What is your approach to capturing candid moments?
I blend into the background and use a photojournalistic approach to capture candid moments. This allows me to document genuine emotions and interactions without interrupting the natural flow of your day.
How do you manage time for portraits on the wedding day?
I work with you to create a detailed timeline before the wedding day, ensuring that there is ample time for portraits without feeling rushed. This includes setting aside time for couple portraits, family photos, and wedding party shots.
How long does it take to receive our wedding photos?
My standard delivery time for wedding photos is 6 to 8 weeks. This allows me to carefully edit and curate your photos to ensure they meet my high standards of quality.
How do you deliver the final images?
I deliver the final images via a private online gallery where you can view, download, and share your photos. I also offer options for physical delivery, including USB drives and custom photo albums, which can be added to your package.
How many photos will we receive?
The number of photos you receive depends on the length of coverage and the events of the day. On average, a full day of coverage yields between 600 to 800 edited images. I focus on delivering a comprehensive collection that tells the story of your day.
