asked questions

How many images will I receive?

Every session and wedding is different; however, I guarantee at least 50-100 images per hour I cover. 

When will I be able to view my images?

Your images will be available 4 weeks after your session for portrait and engagement shoots and approximately 8-10 weeks for weddings! I also always send out sneak peeks within 7 days of our time together too!

Do you travel for sessions and weddings?

Heck yes!! I am located in Madison, WI but am more than willing to travel anywhere! If you are just a state over or are planning a destination wedding or elopement, reach out ASAP to book with me! Travel fees are calculated based on the location and your specific needs. For a custom quote, fill out my contact form!

Do you deliver raw images?

I do not. I fully believe the raw images are only half of the art. Raw images are unedited works and do not reflect my style or editing other than how I shoot.

Do you offer film photography?

Yes! Film photography is included in every wedding package, adding nostalgic value to your experience. Film captures moments in a way that digital photography often cannot replicate. Its unpredictability results in one-of-a-kind images, making your memories even more special. Most galleries are 80% digital and 20% film.

We can be awkward and feel nervous about couple portraits! What if we don't know how to pose?

Don’t worry—I got your back! While my approach is primarily documentary, I will always offer gentle direction to make you feel comfortable during portraits. I will give you a few prompts but be guided by how you naturally interact with each other. I will do my best to make you feel welcomed and relaxed so that you can focus on just being yourself and having fun!

Do you recommend having a second shooter at weddings?

When you have a second shooter at your wedding, your photographer can cover more ground, get shots from multiple angles and manage time efficiently (since they can essentially be in two places at once). A second shooter also provides an extra layer of support in case of emergencies. Unless you're planning a very small wedding or an elopement, I strongly recommend having a second shooter to ensure you get the most out of your photos. I handpick my second shooters from a trusted group of documentary-style photographers I've worked with and trust.

How do travel expenses work for destination weddings?

Travel is included in your package. I will take care of booking my own accommodations such as flight, hotel, rental car, etc. so you do not have to worry about it!
