Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

What is your pricing?

We believe that every celebration is unique, with its own vision and needs. Because of this, we offer customized quotes for each wedding, elopement, and portrait session. Our full-service wedding collections begin at an investment of $3,200. We’d love to create a personalized proposal that aligns with your vision after getting to know more about your day. Feel free to reach out, and we’ll be more than happy to guide you through the next steps and craft an experience tailored just for you.

How do I confirm my wedding date?

Once you’ve selected your wedding date and chosen your photography collection, we will send you a service agreement for review. We kindly ask that you return the signed agreement within a week to ensure your date remains available. After we receive the signed agreement and a 50% retainer, your wedding date will be officially booked. The remaining balance is due four weeks before the wedding.

Is travel / accomodation included in your prices?

Travel expenses are not included in our collection prices. Since each wedding is unique, we first learn about your destination and celebration before discussing travel arrangements. A customized quote will then be provided based on your location and the number of shooting days required. We handle all travel arrangements unless specified otherwise.

How many images will we receive?

We typically deliver between 80 to 100 images per hour of coverage. These images are carefully curated to include only the highest quality shots, ensuring a beautiful representation of your day. Each photo is edited for color and exposure, guaranteeing that your final gallery showcases your celebration in the best possible light.

What is your turn around time?

We dedicate ourselves to meticulously editing and curating your images. As a result, the turnaround time for engagement and portrait sessions is typically 3-4 weeks, while wedding images may take 8-10 weeks.

What is your approach to capturing the wedding day?

We work closely with you to design a personalized timeline for your wedding day, ensuring every moment is beautifully captured and stress-free. Our goal is to ensure that you have the most beautiful natural light for each important moment of your celebration. We work closely with your planner and designer to build a custom timeline that gives you ample time for all desired portraits and candid moments, including planned buffers to create a stress-free, enjoyable experience.

Our approach combines the art direction of styled detail shots, curated moments that capture the elegance of your day, and genuine, candid photojournalistic coverage, resulting in a balanced and authentic portrayal of people, details, and emotions. We aim to tell your story with intention, providing you with memories that are timeless, elegant, and full of meaning.
