The FAQ
Do you Travel?
Yes! My standard travel includes locations within 1 hour (for portrait sessions) to 2 hours (for weddings) of my home, however, other travel can be arranged as an addition to your package. I regularly travel all over PA and NY, and am also always up for a faraway adventure if you're planning a destination wedding!
How long have you been doing this?
I've been passionate about both art as a whole, and photography specifically for most of my life. However, it was in 2018 when I finally decided to follow my passion for photography, and began offering my services publicly.
How many photos do we get?
That is entirely dependent on the number of hours you book me for, and how your event unfolds. Sometimes I deliver 1,000 photos for a 6 hour wedding, and 600 for an 8 hour wedding - it is unique to each couple and YOUR day. For weddings you can generally expect between 400-800 photos. For portrait sessions, you can expect at least 30 photos per half hour. But whatever the case, I strive to do my best to capture YOU for who you are, and am never counting photos while I'm serving you.
How do we get our photos?
For weddings: You will receive your digital files in a personal online gallery within 8-10 weeks of the wedding. You can download the high-resolution files right from there, as well as ordering heirloom quality prints and albums right from your gallery store!
Do you retouch photos?
I do my professional post-processing workflow on all of the photos I edit, which includes a plethora of careful lighting and color adjustments to bring out the BEST in your photos, while staying true to the colors you've chosen for your special day. More advanced edits (removing things, etc.) are an additional cost.
Whats your turn around time?
For couples/family photos, my turnaround time is between 2-3 weeks, but videos may take a bit longer to finish up, as it's an entirely separate process, which is an art of its own. The turnaround time for videos is about 10-12 weeks depending on the time of year. And the turnaround time for wedding photos is about 8-10 weeks depending on the time of year as well. (Fall is usually crazy, and things always take longer at the end of the year.)
How do we book you?
Shoot me an email on my contact page, and include as much booking info as you can (what type of session you're after, dates, looooooove stories - all the juicy details I need to know to get to know you and what you LOVE, etc.) , then I'll get back to you with next steps!
Can you help us with planning?
I am here to help your experience be stress-free and fun! I help all of my brides plan their timelines, so that the day can run smoothly and be as stress-free as possible! I will help you with whatever I can, including connecting you with local vendors who can help you look your best. And if you're getting married and need help planning, I know some amazing people!!
How far out do you book?
Usually the current year and the following year!
What should we do for an engagement session?
I'd love to get creative with you! If you want a one-of-a-kind experience that brings out your personalities and celebrates the things you love to do together, let's do it! I'll help you with planning, and we will make it happen.
What should we wear?
For couples and portrait sessions just remember that any bright colors you wear will reflect onto your skin and make it difficult to edit your skin tones accurately. Want clean skin tones and brighter photos? Choose neutrals as your best bet, and use accessories to add a pop of color!
