I feel inspired to create memorable, film-inspired imagery that matches my clients' passion for their own love stories. Every wedding day is unique and deserves a tailor-made photography experience worthy of the day itself.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Forever!! I keep the edited version of every photo I take on multiple hard drives in multiple places. I will keep your photos on my systems always - but I always recommend keeping your own backups as long as you can!

  • A loaded question! Although I'm good at what I do, being in two places at once is impossible, unfortunately, that often can mean missed moments on a wedding day (not everything is happening in one spot at a time!) A second shooter can also give you a higher chance of getting multiple angles; aka both the grooms reaction as the bride walks down the aisle AND the bride coming down the aisle with her dad. It’s a really great backup all-around.

  • I charge travel fees for weddings and photoshoots that take place outside of San Diego county. Often, for weddings, I include flights and transportation in the package fee. Inquire with your specific destination and time of year for a specific answer here!

  • Yes! I love black and white images. I will include some black and white copies of images - but I always include the colored version. Of course, you're always welcome to request more black and white copies in addition to the ones I send!

  • I do not - it's not in my skill set yet! But I do know plenty of amazing Videographers and will send you their way!

  • Comfortable and Natural! I will always give you "direction" - so don't stress about not knowing how to pose! But I do just that; direct you. Rather than posing you and turning your chin and placing your hand, I'll usually give you an action to do or say something silly to get you to laugh naturally. I want you to see feelings in these photos - not poses!!

  • Yes! My business is insured with Hartford Business Insurance.

  • The short answer is no.

    I could go on and on in explaining the reasoning behind this, but long story short is this is the most respectful thing for my business. I value my work, and half of the art of photography is in post-processing.

  • My pay schedule includes a deposit, which is 50% upfront to reserve your date. The other 50% of the cost is due before the day of the shoot. As soon as we decide on shoot details and you're ready to move forward, I will send you a contract and invoice via email, and you will be able to pay and sign online via Honeybook. You can pay online with Credit Card or Bank Transfer - if you would like to pay with cash or check, let me know, and we can make that happen!

  • No! All taxes and fees are included in the total price you see in your quote.

  • I deliver a curated and beautiful gallery via Pic-Time - an online gallery host. You will receive the invite to the gallery of your photos in an email, and they will be private to you on that website! Your photos will be on your online gallery for at least 6 months.
