FAQ
Do you travel for weddings and sessions?
A. Yes. I’m based in Southern California but regularly travel throughout California and beyond. Travel fees are discussed transparently based on location and logistics.
When will we receive our photos?
A. Weddings are typically delivered within 4 weeks. Engagements and portrait sessions are delivered within 1-2 weeks. You’ll receive a private online gallery for easy viewing and downloading.
How would you describe your shooting style?
A. My approach is primarily documentary, with gentle direction when needed. My background is in Portrait photography so I can provide as much direction as needed. I focus on natural moments, honest emotion, and images that feel timeless rather than overly posed or trend-driven.
Do you give direction during sessions?
A. Absolutely. You don’t need to know how to pose. I’ll guide you in a way that feels relaxed and natural, while also leaving space for real moments to unfold.
How many photos will we receive?
A. The final number varies depending on coverage length and the nature of the day, but you can expect a thoughtfully curated gallery that tells the full story without unnecessary repetition.
Do you shoot film?
A. Yes. Film photography is my background, and is included in every wedding package. Additional film coverage can be added-on to existing packages. It’s a great option if you’re drawn to a more organic, timeless look.
How can we book you?
A. Fill out an inquiry form on the booking page. A signed contract and a retainer are required to officially reserve your date. Once both are received, your date is secured.
What happens if it rains or plans change?
A. I’m comfortable working in all conditions and always adapt as needed. If plans shift, we’ll adjust together and focus on making the most of the moment.
Do you work with a second photographer?
A. Second photographers are available for larger weddings or when additional coverage is helpful. This can be discussed during the inquiry process. I work with a trusted network of talented photographers and videographers.
