FAQ’s
Where are you located and do you do non-Washington weddings?
I live in Tacoma, WA with my husband, babe, and dog. Most elopements & weddings I do serve the greater Seattle/Tacoma area. That said, I absolutely love traveling so if you’re inquiring about an elopement outside of the local area, the answer will be heck yeah!
How many images can I expect to get back?
For engagement and couples sessions I give a minimum of 30 files, elopements and intimate weddings get a minimum of 200, larger weddings, minimum of 400. I don’t cap maximums. I go through your entire session frame by frame and only pick the golden ones. I won’t miss a thing and only give the the best of the best.
Do you give out RAW (unedited) photos?
No. Editing is a huge part of my art. It’s half of the magic making. I’ll give you all the the photos you’ll want, and if you think something is missing, just ask. It’s all about trust!
What’s it like working with you?
Easy, and fun! I focus on holding space for real connection between you and your people. Check out the experience page to learn more and see if we’re a good fit!
How does payment work?
I require a 50% non-refundable retainer at the time of booking. The remainder is due the week before your session or month before the wedding. I accept payment through HoneyBook.
What happens if you can’t be at our wedding?
The only way this is going to happen is if i’m in the hospital or I have a family emergency/death. If, God forbid, something out of my control were to happen, I would personally find you a replacement day of photographer whom I trust completely and who’s work you’ll love.
What if we cancel our date?
If you’ve already booked a date with me, and for some reason need to cancel, the retainer fee is non-refundable. Please understand, I’m not trying to steal your money. I do this because once your date is in my calendar, I’m counting on that money to pay my bills that month. I’ve also likely turned down other sessions for that same date.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We live in the PNW. It’s gonna rain. If we rescheduled every time the forecast changed we’d never get things done. So unless the weather is extreme(I’m always keeping an eye on the weather), let’s embrace it. The rain can add a fun element to photos and make for great memories too!
Will you photoshop us?
No. I work hard to cultivate an experience and lasting memories. I believe in capturing you in the most authentic and truthful way. I believe that you’ll cherish the perfectly imperfect of your life 20 years from now. That being said, if there is a scar or pimple (something that is temporary and will disappear in a few weeks) I will brush it out of the photos.
What should I wear?
Once you book your session with me, you’ll receive a full guide on what to wear and how to create a mood with clothes! I gotcha!
Do you offer discounts?
No. It wouldn’t be fair to all my other fully paying clients to offer discounts.
What about mini sessions?
I’ ve found that mini sessions just aren’t enough time to truly connect with my clients and create the type of art and memories I believe are so important. I promise, you won’t be disappointed booking a full session.
Are travel fees included in your collections?
No. If you are inquiring for a non-local elopement or wedding, hit me up here and let’s chat!
