FAQ

Common Questions

Will one or two team members be present at our wedding?

I usually shoot solo. For split prep or larger timelines, you can add a trusted second shooter.

Is there a set number of hours you work on a wedding day?

Most couples book 8–10 hours (prep through dancing). Elopements and multi-day events are tailored to your plan.

Where are you located? Do you travel for weddings abroad?

I’m based in Seattle, WA and travel throughout the PNW and beyond. Destination coverage is welcome.

Which services are included?

Documentary coverage, timeline guidance, portraits, professional editing, and a private online gallery with download/print rights. Engagement sessions and albums are optional add-ons.

What is your payment structure?

A signed agreement and retainer reserve your date. The balance is due before the wedding; payment plans are available.

Will all the pictures be edited? How would you describe your editing style?

Yes. Every delivered image is edited for color, tone, and polish. Style: true-to-life, cinematic contrast, natural skin tones.

Do you use AI when editing our photos?

No generative AI. I hand-edit selections and apply consistent grading for authenticity.

Do you prefer bookings through planners, or do you book directly with couples?

Either works. I’m happy to collaborate with planners or book directly with couples.

How many photos can we expect from our wedding?

For a full day, expect about 600–900 curated images, depending on hours, events, and guest count.

When can we expect to receive our photos?

Full galleries deliver in 6–8 weeks. Highlights typically arrive within the first week.

You mentioned an online gallery. How does this work?

You’ll receive a password-protected gallery to view, download, and share. High-res and web-res files plus print ordering are included.

Can we order albums and printed photos from you?

Yes. I design custom albums and offer prints through the gallery, matched to the final edit.

How far in advance should we book?

Popular dates book 9–12 months out. If your date is sooner, reach out—I keep a few openings for short notice.

Can we meet before booking?

Absolutely. Let’s hop on a call or meet in Seattle to make sure we’re a great fit.

What and when do you eat on our wedding day?

A quick vendor meal during dinner keeps me fueled to cover toasts and dancing without missing moments.

Are there any wedding venues in Seattle or nearby we should consider?

Favorites: The Admiral’s House for skyline views, Kiana Lodge for forest-meets-water, and WithinSodo for modern industrial. I’m happy to recommend more based on your vibe.
