You can expect your photos back within 4 weeks for lifestyle sessions. For weddings + elopements my turnaround time is 10 weeks.
No. I go through every image of our time together and hand select and edit the best images. Anything other than that is not an accurate representation of my work, and not a reflection of the quality you hired me for.
I don't like to put a limit on creativity. I will never withhold images from you because it doesn't fit into an estimate. Generally, I can quote around 50 images/hour we spend together. However, days flow differently depending on what's happening. Some stories take less photos to document the day, while others require more. I always deliver every image I think is beautiful and holds a beautiful memory.
I try to make every session unique to the person I am taking photos of. We will talk and catch up as if we're old friends. I'll give you as much or as little direction as you need. I want you to look your best, so if you need the advice I am happy to offer it up! But, I love catching the in between moments and the genuine reactions and emotions you're feeling. So as you tell me a story or a funny joke I will probably be snapping away. And yes, I will tell you what to do with your hands.
Yes! However, I only take on a limited number of weddings outside of the Charlottesville and Richmond, VA areas per year. Get in touch to see if I'm available for your date.
Of course! Almost every couple I meet starts off with the same phrase: "We are SO awkward in front of the camera" or "We've never done this before". Honestly no one is really awkward, and I promise you are probably more stressed than you need to be. I'm happy to help you prep for your session through outfit advice in my style guides and offering up location suggestions that I think would meet your needs!
This blog is a little bit different from my normal “look at these beautiful images”. After doing my own research, talking with some of my wedding couples, and reminiscing on my own wedding day I figured it would be good to throw out into the internet. It’s kinda sad that there are barely any resources out there for neurodivergent individuals planning a wedding. Wedding planning is hard enough, not very intuitive, expensive, and can be down right overwhelming.
