FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

"We're awkward in front of the camera, how will you direct us?"

When it comes to the portrait portion of the day, I know it can feel unnatural to be in front of a camera. I want to capture you authentically so I love to guide my couples through prompts and movements that reflect you and keep you feeling comfortable. I'll walk you through each step and make sure you're feeling good the entire way through!

Do you travel?

YES absolutely! I love to travel and capture love wherever I can! Extra travel fees may apply. 

"Can I have the raw photos?"

Nope. Giving our RAW images would be like handing over a painting half finished. Editing my photographs is part of the art behind my work. Therefore the photos you recieve are my best, finished work.

How long will it take to get your photos?

You can expect to receive your photo galleries back no latter than 4 weeks for engagement and portrait sessions and 12 weeks for weddings and elopements. Depending on my workload you may receive them sooner. 

Can we meet up and chat before booking?

Absolutely! I would love to meet in person or via facetime to get to know each other a little better. I'd love to treat you to a coffee or drink and chat all things wedding!

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. To book I require 30% non-refundable deposit. Your remaining balance is due one month prior to your wedding. If you'd like to break up your final payment we can absolutely do that! 

Do we need a second shooter?

I highly recommend having a second shooter! It guarantees even more moments captured and more photos in your gallery. Although I’ve very capable of getting all the important shots, having another set of eyes makes sure even the in-between moments are captured as well. Like getting both of your reactions as you walk down the aisle, all of your guests faces during happy hour, and even more angles of your day you spent so long planning.

What should we wear for our engagement shoot?

I will brainstorm and help you pick the perfect outfit for your shoot that feels like you and photographs beautifully. I'll send you a guide with some ideas as well!

What if it rains on our engagement shoot date?

Living in the PNW, rain is inevitable. We will make the best of it though, I guarantee magic will still be made. If it’s predicted to rain on your couples or engagement shoot date, we can reschedule if need be.

How will I receive my photos?

Once all your photos have been edited, they will be put in an online viewing gallery that will be sent to you via email. Through the gallery you can view, download, and share with your friends and family.

What happens if you’re sick and can’t show up to our wedding day?

I do everything in my power to stay healthy to always be on my game. But I am human and things happen. In the unforeseen circumstance that I may become ill or an emergency comes up and I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I have an amazing list of photographers I know and trust who can step in. I will still edit all these images so you’re getting the same style of photographs you booked me for. I’ll always make sure you’re in the best of hands, in the worst case scenario.

What happens if we cancel/reschedule our shoot date?

Once your date has been set and your deposit has been made, it’s non-refundable. If you need to reschedule, a rebooking fee may be needed to secure your new date. Because I had your original date booked, I may have had to turn away clients inquiring about that date and rebooking it now is much more of a challenge.
