When you book me to photograph your wedding day, you’re not only getting a photographer, but also a cheerleader, confidant, and consultant. I am on your team and am available to walk through the wedding planning process with you from start to finish. If any questions come to mind as you plan your wedding, I strongly encourage you to reach out to me and your other vendors to seek guidance. I’ve seen it all (and if I haven’t, one of my trusted colleagues has), and am more than happy to weigh in if you’re torn over a wedding decision, photography-related or not.

One month before the wedding, I’ll send you a questionnaire to capture all the information I need about your wedding day to shoot effectively and intentionally. This includes lists of family portrait combinations, day-of contact information, and more. This questionnaire is due two weeks before your wedding day, and is immensely helpful in helping me capture your day!

On the day of your wedding, you can count on me to be on your team. I’ll coach you so you feel confident, remind you to stand up straight, and fluff your train so it photographs perfectly. I’ll be there when you need me, but I promise not to make the day about me – I recognize that a wedding day is ultimately about a marriage, and isn’t just an opportunity for good photos (although we’ll get those too).

First, I believe that couples should LOVE the work of their photographer and feel like they can trust them with their memories. Relinquishing control and trusting your photographer builds up their confidence and allows them the freedom to be creative in their documentation, which means an even better finished product for you. We want to do our best for you, so relax and enjoy your special day, and we’ll make magic for you! But along with loving the artistry of your photographer, I think it’s so important that you really like your photographer as a person. Your photographer is with you all day (usually more than you’re with your future spouse!) and you’ll want someone whose personality meshes well with yours! This means that I might not be the right fit for every couple who comes my way, and that’s okay!

Yup. The happy kind.

My favorite clients are kind, in love, and happy to be celebrating with their people. I’ve done everything from classic, black tie weddings to rustic, DIY affairs. One of my brides wore cat shoes down the aisle. My couples don’t have one cohesive style, and I love it that way. I’m here to help your photos reflect you, come as you are.

Let’s talk! I’m happy to sketch out a timeline with you and your fiancé to figure out how many hours of coverage would be right for you. We’ll walk through your priorities and map out a day that highlights what’s important to you and minimizes stress. While it may seem early to start writing out your whole timeline, it’s helpful to start building a framework to identify trouble spots as early as possible, and before wedding invitations are sent out with times that can no longer be adjusted.

It’s up to you! First looks often provide some of the sweetest images of the day, and help ease nerves before the ceremony because you’ve already seen each other! They also help make more relaxed timelines because 90% of the photos are out of the way by the time the party starts. And don’t forget the best part – you can go to your cocktail hour! That being said, I completely respect any couple’s desire to stay traditional, and I have a few tips that can help you get all the photos you want without rushing around.

That’s up to you! Second shooters help capture images that fill out the coverage of your day by offering another perspective. About 80% of my clients choose to hire a second shooter, and I shoot the rest by myself, usually with the help of a non-shooting assistant.

I typically deliver 75 images per hour of coverage. This is just an estimate, but if anything, you’ll receive more than 75/hr – never fewer!

Within 4-6 weeks at most, but usually sooner ;) And you’ll see sneak peeks of your images via social media & my blog the week after your wedding!

Absolutely! I believe in letting my clients have access to their images so that they can share them online with friends and family whenever they want, and so that they can continue to make prints of them years down the road. Your images are delivered via a beautiful & sleek online gallery that allows for unlimited hi-res downloads. You can order prints directly through your gallery, but since you’ll have printing rights, you can take them to the lab of your choice. It’s up to you! You’ll also be able to share the link to your gallery with your guests, who will also have the ability to buy prints or download the images for free.

Sometimes! It depends on my schedule. I include travel within 50 miles of Philadelphia for weddings and within 25 miles for sessions, and a per-mile fee is added outside of that radius. When necessary, clients will provide my team and me with travel accommodations (e.g., hotel rooms) Contact me for more details!

Of course! I know that many people (especially grooms!) cringe over the idea of having their picture taken because they imagine a photographer following them around awkwardly or putting them into cheesy, forced poses. I promise it’s not like that! I’ll never leave you wondering what to do. I’ll make sure you’re standing in good light and tell you what to do with your hands. My goal is always to help you achieve images that look natural and capture you as yourselves, but, you know, the prettiest version of yourselves.

Yes and yes! And so do my second shooters!

Yes and no. I try to avoid shooting from long shot lists when possible, because I don’t want my face buried in a list to check things off when I could be focusing on capturing unique moments from your day. Don’t worry, I won’t forget to photograph your first kiss, or you and your bridesmaids! However, I do send out a final questionnaire a month before the wedding to get specific details from you, like lists of family combinations you’d like, or anything I might not otherwise know about (heirloom items, special details, etc.).

Your date is officially booked with a signed contract + 30% retainer.
