Reviews

Worked with this vendor?Write a review
Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
If you choose to have a 2nd shooter, I do work with many other photographers and will make arrangements to have them accompany me to ensure that you get the best full coverage!
Definitely. All final images are edited by hand, done by me personally. All photos are edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful.
We will be offering video in 2027.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding.
I don't set a minimum or maximum number of images. Every wedding unfolds differently, and I believe your gallery should reflect your individual celebration. You'll receive a thoughtfully curated collection of professionally edited images that tells the complete story of your day, without arbitrary limits or unnecessary duplicates.
I do have insurance. I can provide a certificate of liability, just ask!
In my years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
