Frequently asked questions

Both. Attending photography classes before the digital era gave me a solid education and love for the beauty of film. We bring digital and film cameras to all shoots and select the best option for each event based on a variety of factors. All film and digital images are processed and cohesively presented together.

Do you shoot film or digital?

Always. A second photographer is another experienced photographer who works side by side with me on your wedding day to capture different angles and pivotal moments, like the brides entrance from behind, that I might otherwise be unable to capture. They can also help condense the timeline by being able to photograph certain details of the day while I am photographing others. 

Do you work with a second shooter?

Absolutely. We can happily tailor any collection to best suit your celebration. Please send us your wish list. We will follow up with a custom collection for your review.

Can I customize a collection?

Yes! We work together with you or your planner to establish an itinerary that allows ample time for capturing all the desired portraits and photographs, while incorporating buffers to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience. Our expertise lies in skillfully directing artistic shots of styled details and portraits, as well as capturing candid moments through a photojournalistic approach. The end result yields a beautiful balance of people, details and emotion.

DO YOU Offer help with the timeline?

To date (fingers crossed), we have never faced the unfortunate situation of an emergency arising right before a wedding—an unsettling thought for all parties involved! Prior to any wedding, we plan our lives to prioritize our well-being and allocate sufficient time for travel. In the unlikely event that unforeseen circumstances hinder our presence at your wedding, we will make every effort to arrange another photographer of comparable skill and style, drawing upon our extensive network for assistance. Alternatively, we would refund your  investment, allowing you the freedom to make other arrangements as you see fit.

What happens if YOU get sick or haVE AN emergency right before the wedding?

Our work is focused on creating heirloom quality art using the finest methods and products. With a passion for the details, we carefully curate and present each and every project we photograph. Shooting film is not the fastest method, but we recognize it as the most beautiful. Turnaround times for engagement and portrait sessions average 2 to 4 weeks. Turnaround times for wedding images is 8 to 10 weeks. We always provide digital sneak peeks within 48 hours! 

What are your turnaround times?

The final set of images are corrected for color and exposure. Our method of photographing is kind to our subjects’ skin and therefore we have little need for retouching. Images selected to appear in an album layout will receive a final inspection and also receive basic retouching, which includes blemish removal, distracting hair removal, background alterations, etc.  Any adjustments we make are minimal, leaving your photographs looking natural, beautiful and representative of your celebration.

We also offer professional retouching for more extensive requests. These may include wardrobe, hair and makeup adjustments, head swapping, body modifications or any elements beyond basic retouching at a rate of $150/hour. 

Do these images include retouching/Photoshopping?
