Frequently Asked Questions

WHERE ARE YOU BASED ?

I'm based in the lovely Raleigh, North Carolina, but my photography takes me everywhere! Wherever your love story needs me, I'm there, with travel fees applicable based on your wedding location.

Subheading

What are your travel fees?

Travel fees are customized for each destination. For out-of-state weddings, they generally include the cost of airfare, lodging, and a rental car if needed. For NC and surrounding areas, I charge a mileage fee at the current rate of $0.67 per mile and lodging if the venue is over 130 miles from Raleigh, NC.

Do you offer discounts?

Yes, I do! I have a bucket list of dream locations and venues, and if your wedding is at one of these, you could enjoy discounts ranging from 25% to 100%. Let's check if your venue is one of them!

When will I receive my gallery?

You'll get a large sneak peek within 72 hours of your session or wedding. Your full wedding gallery will be ready to relive and love within 6 to 12 weeks; for sessions, your fully gallery will be ready within 4 to 6 weeks. 

Can I receive the raw files?

In the photography world, raw files are the unedited, "as-shot" images. It's standard practice not to release these, as they are not a finished representation of my work. My editing process is integral to crafting the final images that reflect my style and your day.

Can I choose the editing style?

When you hire me, you're entrusting me with your vision as reflected through my lens and artistic style. The editing I do is part of this creative process, and while I welcome your input, the final editing style will be consistent with my portfolio and the work you've seen and loved.

What if I don't like my photos?

I hope you adore your photos as much as I do. However, if there's something amiss, you have 14 days post-gallery delivery to let me know. We'll work together within my creative style to ensure the photos meet your expectations. Remember, if you wish for re-edits, please do not download the images from the gallery.

Do you have experience in shooting in various lighting situations?

Absolutely! I'm well-versed in capturing the beauty of your moments in any light, from the bright noon sun to the soft twilight of the evening.

Can I add a second shooter to my package?

All of my wedding packages include a second shooter that assists me throughout the day! For elopements, you can choose to add one at a rate of $50.00 per hour. 

Do you retain the copyright for the photos?

As the photographer, I retain the copyright of the images. However, I provide an official copyright release for all your photos, allowing you unlimited personal use and the freedom to print and share your memories as you wish..

Do you reserve the right to publish the photos?

While I do reserve the right to publish the photos, your privacy is paramount. We can discuss and agree upon what works best for you.
