Frequently asked questions.
Most couples book at least four months ahead, and many book much earlier. I take on a limited number of weddings each year so every couple gets my full attention — I’m booking 2027 and 2028 now, so reach out even if your date is close. It never hurts to ask.
You send an inquiry through the contact form, and I’ll get back to you within 24 hours. I’ll learn about your vision and what you want covered, send pricing that fits your day, and if we’re a great match, a signed contract and retainer secures your date.
Absolutely. I’m based in Oregon’s Willamette Valley (moving there from Greenville, SC in February 2027), and I love the Oregon Coast, Portland, and anywhere with a vineyard. I still travel home to the Carolinas and Georgia for weddings, and I’m happy to go further for the right couple. Travel is included within 30 miles of home; anything further includes a simple travel fee, quoted upfront.
Full-day collections run up to 12 hours, covering getting ready through the reception. Shorter coverage is available for courthouse and smaller weddings. We’ll plan the timeline together so nothing feels rushed.
For full wedding days, yes — a second photographer is included so we can capture both of you getting ready and more angles during the ceremony and reception.
Weddings rarely go exactly to plan, and that's okay. I've stepped in to help coordinators keep things on track more times than I can count, so you can let go of the timeline and actually be present for your day.
Yes. I love posing people and giving clear direction — it’s part of how I work. I’ll move efficiently through the family portraits you want, using a shot list we put together before the day.
I don’t — I focus entirely on photography. I’m happy to work alongside your videographer.
Your full gallery is delivered within 8–12 weeks of your wedding day, in a private online gallery you can download from.
A full wedding day gallery is usually around 1,000 edited images — enough to tell the whole story.
I don’t share raw files. Editing is a big part of my style, and every image you receive has been edited so your gallery looks and feels like one story.
Your gallery stays available to download for about a year, so be sure to save your photos somewhere safe once it arrives.
A retainer secures your date, and you can pay the rest little by little in the months leading up to your wedding.
Life happens. The retainer isn’t refundable, but if your date has to move, I’ll do my very best to be available for the new one so you don’t lose it.
I have a trusted network of photographers who can step in, so your day is covered no matter what.
Yes, please! A meal keeps me going so I can give you my best all night.
