FAQ


Don't hesitate to give me a call if you have a question that you don't see below.

Do you mind if I send you a link to my Pinterest board for shots that I want?

Absolutely! I'm happy to look it over to get a better idea of your favorite types of photos but it will not serve as a shot list. I can't be responsible for remembering all of the images in a Pinterest Board. Sharing your Pinterest board is a great way for you to show me your favorite style but asking me to remember 50-100 shots that may or may not be possible depending on the light or weather could be a burden that could distract me from capturing something gorgeous and original.


Do you touch-up the photos?

Yes, I use Adobe Lightroom to personally optimize each image before it is uploaded to the gallery site. By optimize, I mean that I ensure that the color is correct, levels are consistent, the crop is optimal, and I sometimes take the liberty of removing distractions such as light switches, bruises, or zits. I make a pass at optimizing every image in your deliverable however additional re-touching and more surgical editing requests will be available at an additional per image rate.


What is the process for picking favorite photos to be edited?

Your photo gallery will have a heart-shaped icon over each image. You can click this icon to select a favorite image to be edited and it will notify me.


How far in advance do we need to set up the engagement portraits or a bridal portrait session?

I have couples who schedule their engagement session nearly a year in advance to use for their "save the date" announcement and other couples who get together with me only 4-6 weeks before the ceremony so they will have some extra shots to decorate with at the reception. I'll need a few weeks to get the editing finished. I find that bridal portraits usually get booked either 1-2 months before the wedding since the fittings and final adjustments are closer to the date. We always get lots of bridal portraits on the wedding day but some brides have special places in mind that just won't be possible on the wedding day i.e., with horses at sunset.


Do you have back-up cameras, flashes, and equipment?

Yes, I'm currently using a Canon 5D Mark III and a Canon Mark II camera and also have a 80D as a third backup, an array of Canon strobes and studio lighting.


Do you actually show up at the wedding or would you ever send someone else?

I will be your wedding photographer. I've never sent anyone in my place. I take my commitment to you very seriously.
