Frequently Asked Questions
Commonly Asked Questions
How would you view yourself as a photographer?
My purpose is to capture memories from your day which are natural, unobtrusive, and honest. I provide a mix of both photojournalistic and posed photos. My style is something that I have worked on for years and it is always evolving, I give direction to provide the most natural-looking images possible. I won’t force you into any awkward poses and a lot of time I will be off in the background waiting for those one-off moments to happen.
How long have you been photographing weddings?
I have been a professional wedding photographer since 2010. Over 150 weddings and counting!
Have you ever shot at our wedding venue?
This is a question I hear often and a good question to ask however, if we have not shot at the venue, don’t let this be the deciding factor in hiring us or not. There are so many venues out there and so many that are very similar so odds are I have shot at one that has a similar feel as yours and can likely provide sample work. As a true professional photographer, I have the experience to handle any lighting requirement or space. You can request that I attend one of your venue walk-throughs based on my availability.
What kind of equipment do you use?
I use Canon Professional equipment. Currently, I am using a Canon 5d Mark III and Canon R6 Mirrorless and Canon professional lenses. I also bring an assortment of flashes, batteries, and other lighting equipment so I can be prepared for any situation.
Do you have a backup camera?
I have a backup system with me at all times.
Do you work with another photographer?
All of my packages have the option to add a 2nd photographer
Do you recommend working from a shoot list?
Preparing a list of family portraits you would like to be captured throughout the day is strongly encouraged, as it can help save time and ensure nobody is missed. However because every day is unique and weddings are fluid events, an extensive shot list can be difficult to navigate and are thus discouraged. The last thing you want is for your photographer to be overly focused on checking things off and potentially missing some of the magical moments that unfold.
Do you travel for weddings and what is your travel fee?
I am happy and honored to photograph your wedding, wherever the location. Depending on the location I sometimes require overnight lodging. Contact me directly to get a customized quote for your event.
Are you insured?
Yes. I can provide a copy of my coverage to your venue if requested.
Do I have to print my photos with you?
No, I have the option available to print with my proofing site at a professional lab but if you want to print your photos on your own I recommend Mpix
