How would you describe your style of photography?
I’d call it high fashion meets modern photojournalism. I love rich, deep colors, but black and white shots that tell a story are my jam too. This is your wedding, and I want to capture the real connection between you and your partner. I’m not a huge fan of stiff, posed shots—but don’t worry, I’ll still grab a few for mom and grandma. I love being a fly on the wall just as much as jumping right onto the dance floor. Plus… I’m pretty darn good at it.

Do you work with an assistant?
Most of my packages include a second photographer—and if yours doesn’t, I highly recommend adding one. I can’t be everywhere at once, and a second photographer ensures no incredible moments get missed.

Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely! Sarah and I love to travel. We offer special rates for destination weddings depending on location. Reach out for details.

Are engagement sessions included in your packages?
Our top two packages include an engagement session, but you can add one to any package a la carte. Engagement sessions are a great way to get to know each other before the big day—so when wedding day rolls around, we can all relax, have fun, and capture amazing photos.

How many photographs will I receive?
I typically deliver about 100 edited images per hour of coverage. The total varies depending on wedding size, venue, details, or cultural traditions. If you skip the second photographer, expect roughly 25% fewer images than a package with two shooters.

How long after our wedding will we receive our images?
We’ll schedule a time to meet about 4 weeks after your wedding to view your photos and choose prints, albums, and other options. Some studios promise 2 weeks—but I’d rather take the time to get it right than rush your images.

Do we have to pay the full balance upfront to book?
Nope! (Unless it’s a last-minute booking.) A 30% retainer secures your date, and the balance is due 30 days before the wedding. We can also break payments into thirds if that’s easier. However, if you wanna pay it all up front, I’m not gonna twist your arm or anything.

Are your prints better than what we could get at Target, Walmart, or Costco?
Absolutely. Think of it this way: I wouldn’t have Salvador Dali paint a masterpiece on a napkin—I want the finest canvas for your art. We print on Fuji Pearl or Kodak Endura Metallic paper, using strict color calibration for perfect vibrancy and sharpness. Consumer lab prints just can’t compete.

Do you mind if guests take photos during the wedding?
Not at all. But cameras and flashes can distract the action (and your photographer). I recommend that guests hold off during the ceremony so we can capture clean, stunning shots. A polite announcement before the ceremony usually does the trick: “The couple asks that no photos be taken during the ceremony so everyone can enjoy the moment. Thank you!”

What if we cancel our wedding?
If I can book another wedding on your date, I’ll refund your deposit. If not… the deposit is non-refundable.

Do you have insurance?
Yes, we carry a 7-figure liability insurance policy, which I can provide to any venue that requests it.

What type of cameras and backup equipment do you use?
I shoot with Canon’s top professional cameras and lenses. Every photo is captured in RAW for maximum quality and editing flexibility. I also bring two backup cameras and personally inspect, clean, and prep all my gear before every wedding, so nothing is left to chance.

Do you do other types of photography?
Absolutely! In addition to weddings, engagements, and senior portraits, I also shoot under my other brand, Stills & Reels. That’s where I focus on commercial photography and creating branded content for small to medium-sized businesses—everything from polished product shots to lifestyle imagery that helps a brand tell its story

Finally… why is wedding photography so expensive?
“Here’s the deal—let’s break this down. People think wedding photography is expensive… and yeah, your jaw might drop a little—but all they see is me showing up on your big day. What they don’t see is the years of experience, the hours of editing, the meetings, the travel, the gear… basically, me living in Lightroom for weeks after everyone else has packed up and gone home. You wouldn’t bust out a cheap box wine on your wedding day, would you? Your wedding deserves a glass of wine that’s smooth, bold, and unforgettable—just like your photos. They deserve an experienced, skilled photographer—not your mom’s best friend with a nice camera. Save the box wine for a Tuesday night with Netflix. Trust me, some things are worth investing in.”
