where are you based out of?

We live in Albany, Oregon! After spending the last 10+ years in the Adirondack mountains of upstate NY, we recently relocated to the beauiful Pacific Northwest.

how many photos will i receive?

Every wedding, elopement, and couple's session is different so it's hard to give a tried-and-true number!

I promise though you'll get all the good ones. I don't believe in proofing galleries or making you pay more for additional, unwatermarked images. You'll get the best of the best to remember your day by!

what happens if you can't make it to our wedding?

It would literally take an act of God or a life-threatening accident/illness to keep me from your wedding. However, if it came down to the worst case scenario, I would find another photographer I trust completely to capture your day, although I'm not legally bound to do so.

If I'm unable to photograph your wedding, all money would be refunded.

do you help in the planning process?

Oh gosh, yes.

I don't expect you to know when the best light to photograph occurs, or how long family portraits might take, or what an 8 hour timeline might look like.

The best photos come from the best planning so ask away. I want to be involved every step of the way to ensure your wedding day or session goes off better than you could have ever imagined (or so your photos will show).

this looks awesome. how do we book you?

First things first, fill out my contact form! Please do not directly email me with your inquiry as I'll just redirect you to my contact page to fill out my form first. There's a lot of important info I need to know right off the bat!

After that, we'll schedule a video call consultation to make sure we all click and vibe and like each other and etc etc. If all looks good on both ends, I require a signed contract and a non-refundable retainer paid to officially hold your date.

No dates are held without those two items so just bear in mind that although we may be emailing, your date can disappear at any time.

never hurts to ask for a discount...right?

Tell you what: when I can successfully bargain a discount for my groceries, mortgage, utility bills, etc., I'll consider offering you the same discount! But until then...no.

Please don't ask me. It makes things awkward because it shows that you don't value my work. I will gladly offer payment plans to help you stick to your monthly budget but will not discount overall package costs.
