You’ve got questions, I’ve got answers. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions!
How long have you been a photographer? 14 years and counting! I started out photographing families and instantly fell in love with documenting people in every season of life...I am a documenter of candid + special moments at heart. I love getting a front row seat to watch so many amazing Families start and grow!
How many sessions + weddings do you take per year? Every year it changes, but for 2025 I am only taking 15 weddings and I only book 2-4 Portrait sessions a month.
How far in advance should I book my Session/Wedding? Ideally you would want to book your Portrait session at least 8 weeks in advance to ensure the best date/time. And for Weddings I recommend booking at least 1 year in advance. But absolutely still reach out if your desired date is sooner/later than that!
Where are you based? I am based in Charleston, SC. I have traveled all over the world for wedding and sessions though! My latest favorites have been Alaska and Malibu. I absolutely love to travel for gigs, so please reach out if you’re not local to Charleston, SC. I have collections that include Travel costs at a discounted rate.
How many images do you include? I do give more than your average photographer…Normally for a 1 hour portrait session, you can expect 150-250 images. For a wedding I normally deliver a minimum of 75-100 per hour that I shoot. So for a 10 Hour wedding day you can expect a minimum of 750-1000 final images.
What is your payment schedule? I require a 50% retainer + a signed contract to book. The remainder is due two weeks before your session!
What is your turn around time? For weddings - I normally will deliver a big session preview within two weeks (150-250 images) and your final gallery within 16 weeks. It’s important to me that I take extra time and intentionally edit every single image. It’s worth the wait, I promise! For portrait sessions you will receive a session preview within 2 weeks and your final gallery within 8 weeks.
What if the worst happens and you can’t photograph our wedding? Heaven forbids this happens, as it would only happen if it were out of my control (act of god, illness, death, etc) but in this case I would do my best to help find a replacement photographer to take my place that I trust with a similar style. If I can’t make it to your wedding your money will be refunded.
