frequently asked questions

+ Do you offer pre wedding event coverage or after?

Yes. Wedding photography coverage does not have to be limited to your wedding day.

I offer pre wedding and post wedding event coverage including welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, bachelorette celebrations, and day after excursions. This is especially popular for destination weddings where the full experience unfolds across multiple days.

Coverage can be added at the time of booking or after your wedding collection is secured.

+ Do you help guide us with posing?

Yes. I guide you throughout so nothing feels awkward or overly posed.

You will be gently directed into natural movement and interaction, blending candid moments with subtle editorial direction so the images feel both effortless and refined.

+ Do you shoot film?

Yes. Film is part of my foundation as a wedding photographer and I offer film wedding photography when requested to add depth and texture to your story.

For weddings, I primarily shoot digital photography for its consistency, detail, and archival quality that ensures your images last for decades.

+ Do you outsource your editing?

No. I personally handle all wedding photography editing from start to finish, including image selection and final hand editing of your gallery.

Your wedding is too personal to outsource, and this ensures a consistent, intentional, and fully refined final collection.

+ Do you do videography or content creation?

No, I focus exclusively on wedding photography, but I can refer trusted videographers and content creators who align with my work.

This ensures every part of your wedding is covered by specialists in their craft.

+ Do you offer albums?

Yes. I offer complimentary album design so you can easily turn your images into a finished heirloom.

Wedding albums begin at $800 and vary based on size, cover selection, and final number of spreads.

+ Do you offer Bridal Boudoir

Yes. Bridal boudoir is a popular add on and can be photographed in studio, at a location of your choice, or the morning of your wedding depending on your timeline.

Bridal boudoir sessions begin at $1200 and include the session and digital images.

+ How far in advance should we book you??

Most couples book 9 to 15 months in advance, especially for peak season dates in California and destination weddings.

+ Do you travel for weddings?

Yes. I photograph weddings throughout California and destination locations across the U.S. and beyond.

+ How many images will we receive?

You can typically expect 600 to 1000 edited images depending on your wedding coverage and events.

+ What is your wedding photography style?

My work blends candid storytelling with subtle editorial direction, creating imagery that feels natural, elevated, and full of movement.

+ What is included in a wedding photography collection?

Each collection includes wedding day coverage, hand edited images, and an online gallery for download and sharing.

+ Do you help with timeline planning?

Yes. I help guide timeline flow to ensure your day feels relaxed, intentional, and fully documented without feeling rushed.
