The Wedding Experience

Delivery time for weddings are 6-8 weeks, while engagement sessions + others are 2-3 weeks.

That's a big fat no.

It depends, but most of the time we do not exceed an hour to an hour and a half.

For weddings you can expect 75-100 images per hour.
For portrait sessions, you can expect a minimum of 100 photos.

Most people opt for 2. I encourage at least one outfit change if that feels right for you. If you're stuck, take all of your clothes you love, stick them in your car and bring them to your session. I'll help choose/coordinate what I think will photograph best in person.

The less patterns the better. Meaning, limit it to one person at a time - if one of you wants to wear flannel, the other should be wearing something very neutral. Avoid really bright colors (reds, pinks, oranges, yellows, because it will be reflecting on the skin causing some weird colors).

Stick with shoes that you’re comfortable in that you can move around, or go barefoot. Clothing that allows for movement is always a solid choice -- especially if we can get some wind to pick up during the session.

For portrait sessions, you will receive a handful of black and white photos. Weddings will always include color and black and white versions for a portion of the photos.

Very industry standard - a signed digital contract and a non-refundable retainer will secure your date + time.

Unwanted blemishes, bruises or unwanted things that are on your skin or face will always be edited out (unless I'm told otherwise).

I won't alter the way you or your body looks in photos. If you're self conscious about something, please let me know and I will be aware of this while taking your portraits.

I always encourage you to embrace the weather because it can create some really unique and different photos. However, if it’s too crazy, we will find another day that works for us both.

A rescheduled session must be booked within one month of the original date and weddings 6 months within the original date to avoid any rescheduling fees.

God forbid that ever happens, if it’s out of my control (act of God, illness, death or other) I would find an associate photographer as a replacement photographer for the day that I trust with a similar style to mine. If this happens, don’t worry, I will still be editing and delivering your final images.

For weddings, the first payment serves as a non-refundable retainer fee for your wedding date and is due at the time of booking. The second payment is due midway between booking and your wedding date. The final payment is due one month prior to wedding date. I’m happy to work with you on this.

For portrait sessions, a 50% non-refundable retainer + signed contract and the remaining balance is due the day of your session.

Accepted forms of payment include credit card, check, cash or bank transfer.

Will be based on mileage from Whitehouse, OH to your destination. Typically, it’s gas and tolls (if applicable) are covered and potentially accommodation. But I know a lot of people in different areas and can always crash at a friend of mine’s house, or even yours!
