Frequently Asked Questions

What is the investment?

It’s difficult to quantify the very thing that preserves your memories, and I work to keep my prices affordable while still honoring the time it takes to get to know you, create your images and personally edit them.

Engagement shoots and short sessions (family/maternity/etc) start at $600 for 45 minutes.

Elopements start at $1900 for 2.5 hours.

Wedding coverage starts at $3900 for 6 hours.

I’d love to email you my full price guide with many more details. You can inquire here.


What is required to book you as our photographer?

Engagement shoots and short sessions require a 50% deposit to hold the date with the remainder due one week before the shoot. A wedding requires a 50% deposit with the remainder due at least one month before your big day.

Deposits can be paid electronically, and I’m happy to walk you through the process. Weddings also have a short contract that can be emailed to you and signed electronically.

How many photos will I receive and when?

You can expect about 70+ photos for a small shoot, 300+ for an elopement and 550-850+ for a wedding, depending on the amount of hours booked. All photos are fully edited and in high-resolution and delivered in an online gallery that can be shared with family and friends. Wedding clients also receive their photos on a USB in custom wood-engraved packaging.

Turnaround times can vary based on the time of year, but typically it’s 2 weeks for short shoots, 4 weeks for elopements, and 8-10 weeks for weddings.


What if we’re awkward in front of the camera?

This is the question I get more than any other! I know how intimidating it can be if you’ve never had professional photos taken, but I promise you that I always work to make sure that all my clients are comfortable in front of the lens. I incorporate lots of movement, silly prompts and sometimes intimate questions for you to ask each other so that I can capture the little in-between moments that make photos so real. My job is to capture the two of you exactly as you are, so just be yourselves, and I promise it will translate beautifully.
