FAQs + Wedding Guide
+ Why do couples + families love working with us?
Couples love working with us because we help make them feel comfortable and at ease. They love how light-hearted, fun, and energized we are on wedding day and appreciate how organized and communicative we are leading up to their big day.
+ What is your philosophy regarding photography?
We mainly try to blend your style and comfort with our unique sense of wedding photography rooted in photojournalism, fine-art fun, and fashion. We love using creative lighting, original perspectives, and angles to create artistic compositions that splendidly tell your wedding story!
Absolutely! Every couple is unique, and although we take cues from you, we're happy to guide, pose, and direct when and where needed:)
+ How I describe my editing style
True to life, bold, rich, clean, alive, and vibrant.
+ How many pictures will we receive?
For eight hours of coverage, you will receive approximately 700 fully edited images. We choose quality over quantity to tell your story.
+ Can I see a full wedding from start to finish?
We always encourage you to view a full day's wedding coverage to see the consistency of my work, (or any potential photographer), this is a great way to see how well we perform on wedding day.
+ When will we receive our photos?
We strive to get your photos edited and delivered within 4 weeks, usually sooner:)
+ Do you have liability insurance?
Yes, we do, and many wedding venues require $1 million liability coverage.
+ What happens if we go over the contracted amount of time?
We understand not everything goes as planned on wedding day, and we will check in with you at the end of your contracted time to see if we feel we have covered everything. We're happy to stay a bit after, then pro-rate in 30 minute increments as related to the hourly contract.
+ How do I reserve you for my date?
All dates are reserved once I receive your signed contract and deposit. We often receive multiple inquires for the same date, so always a good idea to commit when you're ready to go.
+ How much is your retainer and is it refundable?
We ask for $1000 retainer to hold your date, it's also easy to make changes to your package after booking. Retainers are not refundable as we get several inquires for same dates, however, if rescheduling, your retainer will go towards your new date if available.
+ Where are you based and do you travel?
Martinez Ca. is home but we shoot many weddings and events all over the Bay Area, Sacramento, San Francisco, and Napa/Sonoma.
