Life happens and things change - it’s totally normal! I encourage all my couples/planners to get in touch whenever they have anything they need to discuss.

What is your booking process? Will there be a contract?
We will meet with an intro call to get to know each other. After that, I will send a proposal (contract + invoice) through my digital CRM for you to finalize your booking. For full details on booking, check out the 'The Experience' page.
Do you have a preferred list of vendors you can share?
I have a wide network of industry professionals to refer from. Once you book, I’ll share a list to match your needs.
Do you have insurance?
I am fully insured by State Farm and can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI). Please allow 4-5 days.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! All sessions require a 50% nonrefundable retainer to hold your date.
For weddings, the balance can be paid in one or two installments leading up to your date with the final payment due one month before your wedding. For events, elopements and sessions the balance is due one week prior to your session. All payments are typically set to auto-pay for ease.
Note: Because City Hall doesn’t finalize their appointments until 3 weeks in advance, I have a few flexible booking options if you inquire prior to having a ceremony date and time. Contact me for more details!
What is your cancellation policy?
While I hope this is never the case, I ask that you inform me immediately if you cancel your wedding/event. As confirmed bookings prevents me taking another session, I am unable to refund your retainer payment. Depending upon when you cancel, you may not be responsible for your balance but please consult your final contract for specific details.
From my end: In the unlikely event that I am unable to attend, I have a number of contingency plans that we will discuss ahead - typically replacing myself with a trusted photographer of similar style for the day, while I handle your edits afterwards.

Editing + Delivery Questions
Can we be featured on your Instagram, Website and/or Blog?
100%! I love sharing your photos with tasteful Instagram and Blog posts and am careful not to include names unless desired. I do understand if you wish to keep your images private; I am happy to discuss non-usage options with you.
How many photos will I receive?
This will depend on the package you choose but I personally can never have too many photos, and want you to experience the same! After your shoot, I will go through and choose the best images, removing any unflattering shots and edit the best. Typically you'll receive a minimum of 50-75 images per hour of shooting.
Can I order prints and albums?
There is an optional print store attached to all galleries, fulfilled by a third party lab I know and trust. Albums are heirloom quality and hand-designed by me. Reach out for a quote!
Will you send me the raw images?
I am unable to share unedited images, and the reason is pretty simple! When you book with me, you book my style as well, and I want to make sure you have the best final product. The unedited photos are just that--not quite final. I promise you will get a ton of great images and not want for anything! If you do have any special edit requests though, I include one round of notes in every package.
Who edits the photos and how/when are they delivered?
Unless otherwise noted, I hand select, color correct and edit every single image to ensure quality and adjust as needed to remove any distractions or disruptions in the photos. All images are delivered in a private digital gallery and I will also include a bunch of Black and White copies. I typically include a sneak peek within 48-72 hours, and galleries are delivered in 2-10 weeks depending upon the type of project.
