Q

this is a hard question to answer because there really isn’t a cut and dry answer, because every wedding is so different.
i promise 75 images per hour i am booked, but it really depends on how your day is set up, how many hours you've booked me for, and if you're adding on a second shooter. regardless, you will have a full chronological gallery for whatever was packed into the hours you had booked!
a very important question — my go-to is a double cheeseburger with a large fries, a cup of water. i used to do the apple pie if i was feelin' something sweet, but i can't eat that anymore 🙃

i'm convinced that anything less than a large fries is heresy.

how many photos do you deliver?

what's your go-to mcdonalds order?

for engagement/couples and motherhood sessions, my turnaround time is 2-4 weeks, but really depends on when you get your proofing gallery back to me!
for weddings and elopements my turnaround is 6-8 weeks.

i know how excited you are to get your photos back (and i’m so excited for you to see the magic we made!), and i do my best to get the galleries back to you asap, but i spend time editing every photo you receive individually, so as to make sure each one is perfect and ready to post + print!

what's your turnaround time?

hell to the YES. love is love and ALL ARE WELCOME HERE!
your love is important and deserves to be documented and celebrated and ALL OF THE GOOD THINGS!

are you LGBTQ+ friendly?

after your photos have been edited, i pop a bottle of champagne, throw some glitter all over my workspace, and, giddy for you to get the notification, i upload them to your password-protected digital gallery and send them on their way!
however, that is not where it ends for me. you can be assured that i am sitting at my desk, glancing at my phone, barely breathing, waiting for  your reaction to pop in. that gallery is my pride and joy juuuust as much as it is yours, and i can’t wait to hear about just how much you love them!
as far as your images go, you can share with your friends, family, hell, even your enemies; show them how well you're doing!

you, and also your friends and your family (oh, and your enemies-now-turned-friends realizing how much wrong they did to you and wanting themselves back in your super-cool-adventure-filled lives) can download your gallery of high-res images (or original size for the super large prints that your enemies-turned-friends will now all want in their homes). you will have unlimited downloads so no worries, share with literally every person you want to!

how do we receive our photos?

nope b, you don't need it!
i've spent years learning how to pose you to highlight the qualities you like best about yourself, and i spend time getting to know you so that i can pose you the best i can for you. not for me. not for society.

i do often photoshop temporary blemishes, such as bruises, acne, and anything that isn’t a part of you for life, but that's it, baby! we like it natural around here.

do you photoshop your clients?

absolutely! photos truly come alive when they’re printed, and i offer the highest quality albums designed personally for you + your story. just ask me about them!

i also have one of the best printing labs associated with my in-gallery print shop! so when you receive your photos back you can order prints straight from there. super easy to do, and the photos print true-to-editing, so they won’t look any different than what i delivered! (unlike cheaper printing like walgreens, walmart, and even snapfish, shutterfly, etc.)

friends and family are also encouraged to order prints through there. it truly is super easy and the best way to get quality prints that are coloured correctly!

yes! i am ordained with ULC and can legally officiate a wedding.

however, if you’re planning your elopement within Nevada or New York, or somewhere outside the US, i can become ordained for those specific places. just lemme know in your email and i can get on it :) 

i want to keep my elopement as small as possible; are you ordained?

this is very normal! very few people feel natural in front of a camera. it’s just the way it goes! but you won’t have to worry at all because that’s why you’ve hired me! i like to direct rather than fully pose, and i give very simple directions that are easy to follow. my clients always tell me that the photos and “poses” never felt forced or awkward, and those that felt nervous almost always reach back out and say they had the most fun and that it wasn’t weird or awkward at all!
that is always my focus, because i KNOW you have it in you to look bomb (trust me, all of my couples so far have it in them, and they would agree!)
i really just help you bring that out so that you have NOTHING to worry about when it comes to the photo portion of your wedding day.

my fiancé doesn't like photos — what do i do?

do you offer albums and prints?
