FAQ
How much do you charge?
I have a few different packages available! to fit everyones budget! If for any reason you want a custom package to better fit your event please reach out and we can make it happen!
What equipment do you use?
I am currently using a Canon EOS R5 paired with a couple of lenses! My three favorite go to lenses right now are the RF 50mm f1.2, RF 28-70mm f2.0 and the RF 70-200mm f2.8 I also use RF 100mm 2.8 for details and the 16mm f2.8 for super wide angle shots.
I have an arsenal of equipment at my disposal including a Cinema camera equipped with a gimbal in order to get those beautiful cinematic shots.
My wedding is out of state/country do you travel?
Yes! I love to travel! I have been to many different states including outside the US for all types of events including weddings! I do my best to keep my travel fees at a very low cost!
How far in advance should we book a date?
Most people book their sessions/events 6 months in advance. However, the summer is the most busy so I would recommend as soon as possible.
Do you require a deposit?
I do require deposits down to hold your date. The deposit is non refundable and goes towards your full balance. I require a deposit because once we book your day or time that day and time is exclusive to you and no one else can book it. I understand things happen and I do my best to accommodate new times and dates as long as I am available and I have sufficient notice in advance.
How would you describe your wedding style?
My goal is to capture unique moments as they happen throughout the day! I try to work behind the scenes and capture the most genuine unexpected moments. I blend in with the guests as much as I can to capture things from a unique perspective. When it is time for me to choreograph the moments I make sure to have a larger presence so things can go smoothly.
Do you only photograph weddings?
I specialize in capturing people in many different ways such as weddings, family portraits, senior photos, graduations, red carpet events, and much more! If you have any questions or wondering if I can photograph your event please don't hesitate to ask and I would be happy to answer them!
Do you use natural light or flash photography?
I love to use natural light as much as possible when it comes to outdoors and indoor / venues with great lighting. I do use flash photography when the sun begins to go down and the party starts!
