Many couples book me a year in advance. But, there are many spontaneous requests. The earlier you contact, the better the chances are that your date is still available in my calendar. - HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PHOTOGRAPHING WEDDINGS FOR?
I started assisting professional wedding photographers at the age of 16. By the time I was 20, I was professionally photographing weddings by myself. - WHAT IS THE STYLE OF YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY?
I like everything extremly natural and organic. I love a nice sublte punch of colour. Natural light is my go-to and if need be, I will add a flash or lights (more natural vibe) to fill in light where it is needed. - WHAT IS YOUR RETOUCHING PROCESS?
I do all the retouching myself. Every photo receives treatment.
I generally do not release RAW. If you want the RAW images, you will be receiving all of the “chapters” that didn’t make it to the final cut. This is why there will be an up-charge for the RAW files, if requested. Not only for my time, but most importantly for the misinterpretation of my work. If you are needing/wanting more retouching than the general retouching that I provide, there is an additional cost for this. The more extensive retouching would cover the removal of fly away hairs, something from a face, an object/person in the background, etc. - HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THE STYLE OF RETOUCHING?
I normally go off of the mood of the day and combine it with the natural tones in the photos with nice pops of colours. If you have a certain style you are looking for, as in a washed out/muted or vintage or an interesting colour alter scheme, just let me know and I will send you samples of the style and we can go from there.
- IS IT POSSIBLE TO ALSO GET THE ALBUMS IN B&W?
If you would like your albums in B&W or Sepia, just indicate which one you would like, there is no additional fee required. - HOW MANY IMAGES WILL I GET?
This all depends on the package that you choose. For a full day wedding (7-10 hours), a couple can receive up to 1,000 - 1,500 all generally retouched digital files. - WHEN CAN I EXPECT THE COMPLETED DIGITAL ONLINE WEDDING ALBUM?
A wedding album typically takes up to 1.5 months. This is delivered via Dropbox. - DO YOU OFFER VIDEO?
I have worked with a few local videographers and can certainly send you their contact information.
- DO YOU KNOW OF ANY MAKE UP ARTISTS?
I can most definitely guide you in the right direction for a few local makeup artists that I have worked with previously. - CAN YOU RECCOMEND A WEDDING PLANNER?
