ASKED & ANSWERED

My turnaround for full wedding galleries is typically 30 days in slower months (like January) and 30-90 days in busier months (like October). Smaller galleries like engagements are typically 1-2 weeks.

Absolutely! I share wedding sneak peeks typically 72 hours from your wedding date! That said, I usually don’t send sneak peeks of smaller shoots like family/engagements because my turnaround is typically a week for those full galleries.

I typically deliver 100 photos per hour of coverage. So for example, in an 8-hour wedding, you can expect no less than 800 images. That said, there is no cap on the number of images I deliver and I typically over-deliver!

First, fill out the form on my booking page to get the ball rolling. Once received, we will schedule a call to go over all of the details together and get to know each other. After our call I will send a custom quote tailored to your photography needs. I book on a first come, first served basis. That said, I will place a soft hold on your wedding date for one week once I get a yes from you, but your wedding date will not be secured until I have received your contract and deposit. For all other shoots you will receive a custom quote and a session planning guide if I am available for your photo timeline.

I would describe my style as candid, warm, heartfelt, and timeless. I love capturing in-between moments by incorporating movement and creative prompting/posing during my shoots to capture fun, authentic, and beautiful images that illustrate your love. At weddings, I am mostly a fly on the wall capturing all of the special moments you may not have even noticed on top of the big moments that you want to remember. I am more direct when it comes to formal family photos and portraits, so don't worry if you don't know what to do with your hands or Aunt Sue, I got you!

You are hiring me not only to document your special day but to do all the behind-the-scenes work it takes to have a beautiful end product/gallery. This includes culling the images down to the best of the best, removing photos inconsistent with my artistic standards, fine-tuning all final images to edit out blemishes and stains, and aligning them with my editing style (as seen in my portfolio). I do not alter bodies other than retouching skin, and all of my posing is done in a strategic way to make you look your absolute best!

I have shot at a ton of venues in Southern California, but there are hundreds of venues out here! That being said, if I have not shot at your venue before, I typically arrive early to walk through the venue and find the best places for lighting/photos. I also do my research on venues I haven’t shot at beforehand. If you want me to tag along for your venue walkthrough and it fits in my schedule, that’s always an option as well!

If anything were to happen to me, I have systems in place that will be covered in our contract to make sure that you would be covered with an equally qualified photographer. Depending on the situation, I would still edit the images so that you would still receive photos with a consistent look to my work.

For anything less than 60 miles round-trip from San Diego, no. For anything in Southern California between 60-120 miles round-trip from San Diego, I charge per mile. For destination weddings or anything over 120 miles from San Diego, I typically require a round-trip flight for me and my second photographer (if included) and a minimum 2-night hotel stay. If you are planning a destination wedding and love my work, let’s chat more about how travel fits into your package!
