Frequently asked questions:

DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDINGS?

YES! While most of my travel takes me between Dc,Maryland and Virginia. I love new adventures and would be happy to join you in any city, state, or country to document your special day.

WHAT KIND OF EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?

My gear includes professional-grade Sony bodies, a variety of lenses + external lighting equipment.

HOW MANY HOURS OF COVERAGE WILL WE NEED?

Every wedding is unique in styling + timing, therefore the amount of coverage that you need may vary from someone else's needs and that is why I offer three collections with different hourly coverage! Having said that, my preferred amount of coverage and my most frequently booked collection includes 8 hours. Eight hours gives me the perfect amount of time to thoroughly tell the story of your wedding day without feeling rushed, left with too much downtime, or missing important details/moments.

But if you think you need more or less time, let's chat about it!

WHY DO YOU INCLUDE A COMPLIMENTARY ENGAGEMENT SESSION IN EACH WEDDING COLLECTION?

An engagement session is a great idea for so many reasons! Not only does the session allow all three of us to bond and get to know each other in preparation for your wedding day, but it gives you guys a chance to warm up to me taking your pictures, which most couples have never done before.

Another perk of doing an engagement session is that I get to see how you two interact which gives me a better idea of how best to work with you on your wedding day. And lastly, engagement photos are a great way to document this special stage in your lives together! 

So whether you're into a formal sunset session downtown or a cozy, intimate shoot in your own home, I encourage every couple that I work with to consider participating in an engagement session.

HOW WILL WE RECEIVE OUR FINAL IMAGES?

All weddings + lifestyle sessions are delivered through an online gallery for easy viewing, sharing with friends + family, and downloading. Lifestyle sessions take about 2 weeks to be processed and weddings can take up to 8 - 12 weeks. Curious to see a full engagement session or wedding gallery? Be sure to mention it in your initial inquiry and I'd be happy to share!

DO YOU OFFER ALBUMS OR PRINTED IMAGES?

I love printed goods! I offer heirloom albums, prints + canvases all produced through a professional lab, which ensures the highest quality materials and accurate colors.You can print directly from your online gallery and RECEIVE PROFESSIONAL quality prints.
