Frequently asked questions

What sets you apart from other photographers?

My style sets me apart from other photographers- my photos are warm and bright, but timeless. Now more than ever I see so many different trends out there in photography, but I am to keep my photos looking natural, timeless, and classy. I also value connection with my clients as much as I do my style, which also sets me apart. I make it my goal to not only leave you satisfied with your photos, but feeling comfortable and at ease working with me from the second you hire me, to the wedding day, to receiving your gallery, and everything in between! Sound like a good fit? Let’s get started!

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! To accommodate my clients, I offer payment plans, meaning not everything is due at once and upfront. We break up the payments for your invoice over time throughout your engagement. Typically, we split it up into 3 payments: your first $500 is due at booking, your second payment is at the 6 month mark, and your final payment is due 1 month before your wedding date. Ask about custom payment plans if you're interested!

Why do an engagement session?

I am a big fan of engagement sessions, mainly because they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera...BEFORE your big day. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how I pose. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits - which is why I’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time. I want you to walk into your portrait hour on your wedding FEELING confident and so comfortable, and practicing beforehand is definitely going to do that for you! (plus, we're going to have so much fun!) Let’s plan your engagement session today!

ARE THERE TRAVEL FEES?

If your wedding is going to be more than 30 miles from where I am based (Yardley, PA), there will be a travel fee of 60 cents per additional mile after the first 30. I travel all the time for weddings, so don't hesitate to inquire if your wedding location isn't close by! I even travel all over the world for weddings, and all destination elopements and weddings are 20% off! Let’s see if travel fees will apply to you here.

Do you offer discounts?

No, I do not offer discounts of any kind at this time. I've always prided myself in running my business fairly across the board, and if I discount one package for one person, I feel like it isn't quite fair to everyone else who is paying full price. I hope you can understand that!

Do you have a list of preferred vendors to use?

I sure do! From wedding coordinators to florists and caterers, I have worked with some of the best companies in the industry and would love to share their information with you! I send all my clients my preferred vendor list after booking!

Do you have liability insurance?

You bet! This allows me to qualify to shoot at any venue (most require it from wedding vendors).

What equipment do you use?

I use the latest Nikon equipment and always have backups of pretty much everything with me - you can never be too safe! I try to use natural light as much as possible through the day but I also do flash photography if the setting calls for it.

How do we reserve our wedding date?

A $500 non-refundable retainer deposit is due as soon as possible to reserve your date. This goes towards your overall invoice, not in addition to. Once your retainer fee is in and you sign the contract, you're all booked! I offer payment plans to cover the rest of your overall invoice, meaning not everything is due all at once! Let's chat about your payment plan today!

Will we get the print release to our photos after our wedding?

Yes! Upon receiving your images, you will also get a full print release.

Do I have to order prints through you?

I highly recommend ordering prints through my professional vendors, but it is not required. The different in quality is huge when it comes to ordering through a professional lab, so I encourage clients to let me help with prints! Most print orders can be made right from your online wedding gallery at your convenience.

How many photographers will be there at our wedding?

Unless you purchase a second shooter or your wedding package comes with it, I will be the only photographer at your event.

Do you photograph elopements?

HECK YEAH. I LOVE photographing elopements! Depending on availability and the number of hours you have set aside for photography, I have special rates for weekday weddings and elopements. I’d love to hear more about your elopement here!

Do you travel?

Heck Yes! A passion of mine aside from photography is traveling, and I love combining that with my work! I shoot destination weddings, elopements, and engagements- take me where you want to go! Let's chat about your travel plan and we will create a custom wedding collection to suit your needs.

Should we do an engagement session?

Engagement sessions are great for two main reasons: 1, you get some practice in front of the camera with me behind the lens before the big day, which allows you to feel more prepared and comfortable for your wedding photos; 2, you gain beautiful photos at the end of it to use for save the dates, countdown posts, and you can even use some of the prints from your session as decor for all the wedding celebrations! Your guests will love this and it's a great way to personalize your wedding. Let’s chat and see if an engagement session is right for you!
