Wedding Photography FAQ
Frequently asked photography questions about your upcoming day
From the day of booking until your gallery is delivered, I am here for you.
I am a built in bestie to help straighten ties, calm your nerves, and guide you throughout your wedding day so that you are able to be fully present with your loved ones on the day you worked so hard to plan.
From a questionnaire to gather up more information about your wedding day plans, custom timeline planning to fit in all of the photography throughout your day - to touching up your lipstick before you walk down the isle and being your professional family wrangler for formal photos, I am here for you.
Can you describe your photography style?
My photographs are filled with genuine laughter, honest emotion, and the people of your day.
I love to capture your wedding day details in what I call "people lead moments" Sure, a close up of your ring sitting on a flower petal in some pretty lighting looks nice, but the way your Grandfather holds your hand tightly is magical. Your dress will look lovely hanging in a window at your venue, but just imagine how stunning it will look as the fabric naturally hugs your body as you embrace your loved one.On your wedding day I focus on capturing real, authentic, and honest moments.
I want to tell your story in an up close and personal kind of way. I spend the months leading up to your day learning more about who you are as a couple, about what makes you tick.Then, on the day of your wedding it is like connecting with an old friend. We have so much fun exploring the beautiful areas of your venue, all while focusing on your natural connection with each other with simple and fun poses without a heavy emphasis on being stiff and standing still.
I encourage movement and laughter, embracing each other and lots of candid moments with your friends and family that you have invited to share your day with you.
I capture the big moments - walking down the aisle and the first kiss, but I also capture the little moments you may not even realize are happening as your day flies by in a whirlwind of love surrounded by your family and friends.
I seek out the emotions of the day, the quirky moments, the moments that will make you burst out laughing or take your breath away when you see them in a photograph.
Do we need a second photographer?
I specialize in photographing weddings solo, allowing me to blend in naturally and capture authentic, candid moments without disrupting the flow of your day.
Will you be able to capture everything on your own?
Absolutely. With 8+ years of experience, I've developed a rhythm that allows me to cover all the important moments—ceremony, portraits, details, and reception—without missing a beat. I work with you ahead of time to create a realistic timeline that ensures everything is covered.
What if something unexpected happens?
I come fully prepared with backup equipment and always have a detailed plan (and timeline) for the day.
Why choose a solo photographer over a team?
Working solo allows for a more personal, unobtrusive approach. Many couples say they felt more comfortable and relaxed without a crowd of cameras around, which leads to more genuine and intimate photos.
How do we go about planning our day for photography?
I work with each couple from the moment they book until their wedding day to create the ideal timeline.
The more prepared we both are, the less you have to think about on your wedding day. We will discuss how you envision your day going and with my experience of the flow of a wedding day, we will create a timeline that works perfectly for your unique day.
Will you still take family portraits on my wedding day, even though your style isn't traditional?
You bet! We will work together to figure out the specific groupings you would like to capture before your wedding day, and pick the perfect time within your timeline to do them.
Family portraits on your wedding day don't have to be stiff and awkward. They can be fun and enjoyable, and done efficiently so everyone can get back to the party!
Will we be able to print our photos without watermarks on them?
Yes! Your edited digital images will be delivered in a password protected gallery.
They'll be available in high resolution for printing, without watermarks. Along with images sized perfectly for social media sharing, without watermarks.
Our wedding venue requires liability insurance, do you have that?
Yes I do. I can provide your venue with my libability insurance if they require.
We want to book with you, how do we move forward?
Just fill out my contact form to get the ball rolling. I will get back to you shortly.
We can schedule a phone chat or meet up over coffee so we can learn more about each other.
Once you’re ready to proceed with booking, I send you a proposal and contract to sign digitally, and you’ll make a deposit to secure your date on my calendar.
