How many photos will we receive?

I average 75-100 photos per hour of coverage or session. You’ll receive each image in color with a few specially chosen black and whites for those extra emotional moments.

Do I have printing rights?

Of course! You’ll receive a print release form from me so you and your families can print them wherever you’d like. Ordering directly from your gallery guarantees beautiful prints that are true to color and long lasting. I unfortunately can’t guarantee prints from drug stores or online print shops. (Sometimes they run low on ink and turn your skin purple or bright orange – yikes!)

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?

After your engagement session, I’ll send you your photos in two weeks on your online gallery. For your wedding, I’ll send you a preview gallery 1-2 days after your wedding and the full gallery of photos 4-5 weeks after your big day! All images in your gallery have unlimited downloads for a year and you can choose from web size for social media or large high resolution files for printing.

Do you have insurance and backup gear?

Yes and yes! I can provide proof of insurance for your venue or other vendors if needed. I also bring backup cameras, lenses, and flashes to every wedding.

can you copy our pinterest board of ideas?

I'm totally fine with 1-3 specific ideas, but you want to make sure you hire a photographer who has shown you full galleries that you love! Each of us has our own unique style and education that we bring to each wedding and trying to copy a pinterest board that might not be in our style will only hamper creativity and turn your wedding portraits into a checklist rather than a fun, romantic time.

What should we wear to our engagement session?

I swear to you, this is the hardest part of wedding planning. But you’ll receive a “what to wear” guide when you book, and I’m always happy to help you if you’re having trouble deciding.

Do you work with a second photographer?

HECK YES. Second photographers save so much time in the beginning of the day so both of you can have getting ready photos at the same time. They capture different angles during your ceremony and portraits and can also photograph your carefully thought out reception details if your portraits are during cocktail hour.

What if you haven't shot at our venue before?

It’d be pretty boring if I shot at the same venues every weekend! I shoot at new venues all the time, it’s never a problem. The same venue can look totally different from one day to the next depending on the light and the weather. I can find good light and locations anywhere, rest assured! And if it’s somewhere new, I’ll arrive a bit early to scout locations.

What happens if you are too sick to shoot our wedding?

I’ve thankfully never had this happen, but because I hire such awesome second photographers, they’re always ready to step in as primary at a moment’s notice. Plus I have a huge network of amazingly talented local photographers I could call on to step in as the new second photographer.

Do you travel or take destination weddings?

I’m a huge homebody so my ideal weddings are within an hour or two of the Philadelphia area. But I’m totally willing to travel up to three hours by car. Reach out to me for details! I’m not currently taking any destination weddings because airplanes and I aren’t friends. I’ll tolerate flying for the occasional vacation, but even then I’m a hot mess.

How long have you been a wedding photographer?

I shot my first wedding in 2011 and started shooting weddings on the regular in 2014.
