Dear Client,
These aren’t necessarily FAQ’s but more values I have as a photographer I hope resonate with you.
-
I don't pressure you to book with me if we talk. I would actually encourage all potential clients to take a day or two to reflect on the information and reach back out when it feels right. Your decisions for your wedding should never be rushed.
-
As your photographer, I’m not just there to stand on the sidelines. I believe in blending both posed and candid moments to create a gallery that truly reflects your day. I've never had anyone regret taking a photo with a loved one—those are the ones you’ll cherish most.
What I don’t believe in is rushing you through your wedding day just to get through a shot list. That only leaves you exhausted, with memories of posing instead of being present—and nobody wants that, including me!
Instead, I work in a natural flow, allowing space for breaks and genuine moments. That’s when the magic happens. And remember: the wedding starts when you’re ready, not when the guests arrive.
-
I don’t offer packages as whatever needed hours you book me, you’d get everything I offer. I personally find limiting the experience to an hour- based contract isn’t helpful for you as the consumer. I believe the way to any good business is letting the buyer (you) make as many decisions as you want.
-
I don’t offer 24-hour sneak peeks. Occasionally, I’ll share a few photos within the first week just to give you a little glimpse, but that first day after your wedding, I’m focused on carefully backing up and culling your images to ensure everything is safe and sound.
I truly believe your wedding should end with joy, not a rush to update the world. Go enjoy your honeymoon, soak in those just-married moments (rain or shine), and be fully present together.
When you return, your gallery will be nearly ready, crafted with intention and care. Sneak peeks can sometimes take away from the full experience and feed into the 'post-it-fast' culture. I want you to live in the moment! Your photos will be waiting, and they’ll be worth it.
-
I don’t brand myself as your "photographer bestie". You’re not hiring me to be a lifelong friend, you’re hiring me to be present for one of the most intimate days of your life. My priority is to serve you well, create a comfortable environment, and document your day in a way that feels natural and true to you. If a friendship grows from that, it’s a bonus—not the expectation.
-
Instagram and Pinterest can be a rabbit hole. On one hand, they’re great for gathering beautiful inspiration—but on the other, they can set unrealistic expectations. A wedding in a charming white church won’t look the same as one on a yacht in Italy, and that’s okay.
Every wedding I photograph is edited to reflect the couple and the unique atmosphere of their day. If you'd like to see a gallery from a wedding similar to yours, just ask—I'm happy to share so you can make the most informed decision possible.
-
I'm not an anti-trend photographer—but I am against forcing trends just for the sake of it. If there's something you love or that holds meaning for you, even if it's popular, I'm all in and will capture it with care. But if you're trying to recreate something you saw on Pinterest just because you think you should, it can end up feeling unnatural, and that shows in the photos. The best images come from moments that feel true to you, not someone else's styled shoot
