FAQ's

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who are you for?

 

I’m a photographer for the people! My mission is to make photography accessible to everyone—all shapes, sizes, identities, and backgrounds. Whether you're planning a traditional religious ceremony, a modern and eccentric wedding, or an intimate elopement, I love working with couples from all walks of life. I’m deeply committed to inclusivity, and in 2020, I took this commitment further by becoming an LGBTQ+ Inclusive Certified vendor through EquallyWed, the nation’s top LGBTQ+ wedding planning website. Whoever you are, I’m here to celebrate your love and ensure you have an incredible experience working with me. :)

 

Do you travel?

 

Yes! I LOVE traveling for weddings. When you inquire, just mention your wedding location, and if it's outside of SLO County, I’ll provide a travel fee quote based on the venue distance. Many locations require no additional fee. :)

 

 

How do we book you?

 

Simply get in touch with some details about yourselves and your wedding, and I’ll take it from there! If you’re still deciding on a package, we can chat until we find the right coverage option for you. Once confirmed, I’ll send over a contract via my client portal for review. After signing, you’ll submit a 50% retainer to officially reserve your date. Then, I’m all yours, and we can start planning the details!

 

Can we meet first?

 

Absolutely! I always love putting faces to names and getting to know each other before the big day. If you're local to SLO County, we can meet in person; otherwise, we can set up a video call via Zoom, FaceTime, or Skype—whatever works best for you!

 

 

What is your photography process like?

 

My goal is to create a relaxed and comfortable environment where you and your partner can be yourselves. I guide you through simple yet elegant poses while also encouraging natural moments. My approach results in a mix of lighthearted candids and romantic, cinematic portraits.

 

At weddings, I do more than just take photos—I’m your photographer, guide, occasional bouquet-holder, and hype man all in one. I provide direction when needed but also give you space to enjoy the moment and have fun.

 

 

Okay, so after the wedding is over your work is done, right?!

 

Not quite! Capturing the photos is just the beginning. The majority of my work happens in post-production, where I carefully sort and edit your images. I take great pride in crafting a unique look for every session, ensuring your final images are beautiful, timeless, and true to the emotions of the day.

 

 

Do we have any say in how our wedding photos will be edited?

 

Yes! The editing process is always a collaboration. If you have a specific style or aesthetic in mind, please let me know upfront. I’m happy to tailor the tonality and overall feel to match your vision.

 

 

When & how do we receive our images?

 

Delivery time ranges from 2 to 8 weeks, depending on your package. For weddings with coverage over 8 hours, I send a sneak peek gallery within 7 days!

Your final images will be hosted on my website indefinitely, where you can access, review, and download them in full resolution.

 

 

How many photos will we receive?

 

The final image count varies based on coverage time, but I typically deliver a minimum of 50+ final edited images per hour of coverage. Total galleries range from 100 to 500+ images.

 

 

Can we order prints and/or albums?

 

Yes! Once you receive your images, you can order premium-quality prints and wall art directly from your gallery, fulfilled by BayPhoto Lab in Santa Cruz, CA. These prints are of the highest quality and come with a satisfaction guarantee.

You can also design your own wedding album, or I can create a custom-designed album for you for an additional fee. Inquire for details!

  • Paper prints start at $3 per image
  • Ready-to-hang wall art starts at $75 per piece

 

 

Are our photos backed up?

 

Absolutely! Your final images are securely hosted on my website indefinitely. Additionally, I back up all client images on archival hard drives for one year. During this time, if you need to review outtakes or find a missing image, just reach out!

To maintain storage efficiency, outtakes are erased after one year. However, your final edited images are backed up indefinitely in my archives, so if anything ever happens to the online gallery, I can still provide your photos upon request

 

 

What counts as an outtake?

 

I deliver all images that meet my quality standards: technically correct, important to the story, and artistically strong.Outtakes include test shots, duplicates, blinks, or unflattering images. If you ever have questions about this process, just ask!

 

 

Do you offer other photography services?!

 

Yes! In addition to weddings, I offer portrait, real estate, landscape, concert & festival photography. Inquire for details.
