Frequently Asked Questions

  • The images are delivered within 1 month of the elopement via an online album. Each image is reviewed and edited with a mix of both color and black and white, digital and analog images.

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out through my contact form to schedule a call—I’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

  • At the time of booking, I charge a booking fee of $600 which is deducted from the package you have chosen. That payment secures your date. All payments are made through online payment via card. The remaining amount must be paid in full 2 weeks before the event. Payment plans are available if necessary, and you can split the payments up to 12 times.

  • Of course! I also have backup lenses and several memory cards and batteries. I also have a drone that I can film and photograph with if drones are allowed in the area you elope.

  • The sooner the better! My schedule fills up months in advance so be sure to contact me as soon as you can.

  • Yes! You can add hours to any package for $450 per additional hour.

  • A little rain is said to bring luck, and we can capture incredibly beautiful photos even in the rain. Write a message if you want to see photos taken in rainy conditions.

    If it is a whole lot of rain, we can reschedule the elopement date to a future date. Subject to availability. I will do my very best to reschedule for a date that fits both of our schedules.

  • I will do everything I can to make you as comfortable as possible. Don't think of me as your photographer, but as your new best friend who will crack a few bad jokes here and there to lighten the mood. If needed, I will also help you with poses.

  • How exciting! Send me a message and tell me a little about your elopement. Tell me when, where, and how many hours of photography you are interested in. I’m crossing my fingers hoping I am available for your big day.
