Questions To Consider

Simple answer is unfortunately, no. I look as RAW files as powerful ones but also ones with no personality. A chicken with no seasoning. A blank canvas rather than a masterpiece. They are straight out of the camera and therefore have not had my touch of editing and post-processing to reflect a signature look of mine. At that point anyone could have shot your photos.

As the intellectual and copyright owner, RAWs are valuable and grants anyone to edit photos how they like which is not permitted. On top of that the files are ridiculously huge. (Trust me I have multiple desktop harddrives!)

Within the hundreds of irreplaceable moments that I capture, the cherished there will be imperfect, funky, blurry, accidental shots that get taken as well, I don't believe even the least of the picture-perfect but rather unscripted moments should not be tossed away

do I provide RAW FILES/ALL THE PHOTOS?

Do you like my personal  style of shooting & editing?

This should be the first question when considering any wedding or elopement photographer! We stick true to our look in order to be consistent and as a visual artist to feel authentic to oneself. It is not fair to expect a photographer to completely change their way of shooting or editing to fit your vision.

PS: Feel free to ask my process of how I work, which I ususally give insight on in my consultations so you are familiar to what I value and aim to achieve to make sure it aligns prior to booking. That being said, I am open to seeing inspiration that you love and if you also love what you see here, im sure we will create absolute magic!

Do I have a backup plan if i am no longer able to shoot your wedding?

As much as this is typically a rare situation the answer is, Yes! I have a network of trusted photographers in my area that I am connected to and can reach out to in emergency situations that may prohibit me from being able to work your big day! (trust me I wont leave you hangin!)

Do I have full wedding galleries I can see?

The highlight gallery is completed and emailed out within 5-7 days from the wedding! In rare occasions of a busy weekend it may take 7-10 days to receive.

Do I HAVE AN ASSISTANT? 

In most cases an assistant would be a second shooter if they are within the collection or added into a customized collection! If I am doing a destination elopement or wedding, I most likely will have an assistant who will help with simple tasks (my back problems are real so a backpack carrier goes a long way!)

DO I CARRY AROUND EXTRA GEAR?

Yes! I always have two cameras on me for convenience of switching lenses i want to shoot with and just as a liability incase one of my cameras start acting up! I have multiple batteries and memory cards as well and a first aid kit because you never know when you need a safety pin!

DO I ACCEPT PAYMENT PLANS?

Yes ofcourse! This is a huge investment and I know paying all at once is not always ideal for some couples. We can typically split it up into either 3 or 4 payments depending how far out your wedding date is!

CAN I HELP WITH ANY WEDDING PLANNING ADVICE?

Most definitely! I have resources ready for couples who book me, but I also love to give advising within our pre-planning meetings or emails if you have questions or need help making decisions! (theres always so many decisions am i right?)

Do I take a limited amount of weddings a year? how far out can you book me?

Yes! Every year I take less and less weddings to be able to optimize and give 110% to my couples. It is a lot of work and managing to take on unlimited amount of bookings. The earliest you can book me is 2 years out from your wedding date!
