Turnaround time for regular sessions is 2-3 weeks and wedding/elopements is 6-8 weeks. This time may vary depending on time of year or busy season. For weddings and elopements, a 50+ photo sneak peak is sent out within 72 hours.
What is the typical timeline for receiving our photos ?
Next question
As you probably know, each photographer has a specific editing style that is true to them. Because of this, I do not alter or change my editing style. I consider myself a true to color photographer, so if you are looking for light & airy or someone more moody, I can definitely provide recommendations of amazing photographers in those categories! You can absolutely send me any inspiration or specific posing that you like and provide a must-have shot list!
Can we request specific shots or styles for our photos ?
Next question
My favorite question- YES ABSOLUTELY!!! I find that I am happiest when I'm exploring different cities, states and countries. I am available worldwide and I would be honored to capture your love anywhere. Travel fees may vary depending on location, if I am driving or flying and costs of hotel accommodations and rentals in the area. When you inquire with your specific date and location, I can give you a more exact estimate. I do have a list of bucket-list locations to shoot at- and these locations do have discounted packages and travel fees.
Are you available for destination weddings, and how do you handle travel and accommodation?

99% of my couples are not comfortable in front of the camera - that's not only okay but it's normal! That's a huge part of the reason I build relationships with each of my clients to ensure I'm a friendly and comforting face on your wedding day. I'm here to help you relax, to have fun, & help you enjoy each moment.
We're not comfortable in front of a camera, will that affect our photos?
