Where are you located? Do you travel?
I’m based in Annapolis, Maryland, and Bethany Beach, Delaware, and serve the surrounding areas, including Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, and the Eastern Shore. While I primarily work in these locations, I’m always excited to travel to new destinations.
Do you limit the amount of photos you take?
I do not limit the number of photos I take or deliver. My goal is to capture every important moment of your day in a way that tells the full story—artistically, emotionally, and authentically.
Will you help guide us for portraits?
I will never tell you to stand there and look natural. I don’t even know what “look natural” means! I will guide you in an organic and fun way soI can get the in-between moments….they are my favorite = )
Do you photograph guests?
YES! I am a huge fan of guests and understand that they are there because they mean so much to you. I make it my goal to make sure I capture every guest at some point throughout the day. They are part of your story and deserve to be in your storybook.
How do I reserve you to photograph my wedding?
Once I receive a signed copy of your wedding contract and a 50% non-refundable retainer – the date is saved! Unfortunately, I cannot lock-in your date until I have received both items.
Should we consider adding a second photographer?
A second photographer gives you the advantage of capturing your day from multiple perspectives. It allows me to be in two places at once, ensuring that no moment is missed. A second shooter also provides an additional artistic viewpoint, giving you a fuller, more dynamic representation of your wedding day.
Who would be our second shooter?
I work with a trusted group of skilled photographers who second shoot for me. Each photographer is carefully selected based on their experience, professionalism, and ability to capture moments that align with my style. I’ll always make sure you feel comfortable and confident with the team we assemble for your wedding day.
How much time should we set aside on our wedding day for portraits?
I recommend 25-35 minutes of time to take pictures of the two of you! This will allow enough time for a variety of photos, as well as a chance to relax and take in the fact that you just got married! Please note, that this does not include the time needed for formal portraits of the family and bridal party.
Do you have a back-up camera & lenses?
Absolutely! I always bring backup cameras, lenses, memory cards, and batteries to every wedding. These are essential to ensuring that no moment is missed, and that everything runs smoothly, no matter what.
Do you have liability insurance?
I have full liability and equipment insurance.
What happens if there is an emergency situation and you are unable to photograph my wedding?
In the highly unlikely event that I am unable to photograph your wedding, I will do everything in my power to find a replacement. I have an emergency list of photographers that have very similar styles and personalities. I also am a member of multiple professional photography groups, which would allow me to easily find a replacement.
How long does it take to receive my photos?
Weddings can take four to six weeks for completion. However, I always try to complete them before then. The week after your wedding, I will send a sneak peek album to hold you over.
Do I have permission to print the photos? Can I use them online?
Yes, you will have full permission to use the photographs for personal use, including printing them at any lab of your choice.The images cannot be sold, edited, or used for advertising purposes. If you're interested in submitting the photos for publication, just let me know!
