FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you travel for weddings & photo shoots?

Absolutely! It's one of our favorite things.

What happens if our wedding day ends up getting bad weather?

Not gonna lie, when things don’t go exactly as planned we get excited. Some of the best moments happen during the unexpected. One time the ceremony started right when it just started to pour, and we just kept on shooting and the bride just kept walking down the aisle beaming looking at her man. We are fully equipped with the right lighting and weatherproof cameras to keep on shooting. If you want to move your wedding last min that’s not going to be an issue for us, we just want you to stay as happy and excited as you can, think of the movie scene from “About Time.” I have shot during a hurricane, forest fires, 115-degree weather, and last-minute venue changes, all of them have created some of our favorite moments and work we have captured at a wedding. Aren't diamonds made in adversity?

Do you take family formals at weddings?

Yes! Many family members are traveling from all over the place for most weddings we do, so it's important to get some great photos with the family. We just like to keep it as short and sweet (and fun!) as possible.

Do you do sneak previews for every wedding?

It's always our goal to deliver sneak previews a week or two after the wedding. The only reason we would be unable to, is because we are trying extra hard to finish the full wedding to deliver the photos faster to you!

Off season (November--May) typically  2-3 weeks, on season (May-October) typically 2-6 weeks

How does the album process work? 

Our albums and process is a little different than many photographers. From start to finish, we will carefully choose the photos, choose the layouts, and deliver the albums right to you. Making an album and choosing photos is a lot of work and can take way too much time, and in our experience, it has been the last thing our couples have wanted to deal with. Our process frees us up to be more creative and create something really special. If telling the story of your day needs more pages above the promised 80, we can, and don't have to worry about charging you extra. Our albums are also geared towards a story book instead of a "formals" book. To get an idea of the kinds of photos you will find in your album, check out our wedding blog posts.

Do you offer discounts for Monday - Friday weddings?

We have in the past given some discounts to weekday weddings. There are a lot of factors that go into the date, so if in doubt, contact us! We want to hear your story & vision, and see what we can do for you!

Can my uncle or friend take pictures at the wedding too?

We don’t want our couples to feel like they are in a movie production or the paparazzi were told about their event. As long as your uncle and friends stay out of our shot, we're fine. We do always encourage couples to do unplugged weddings though.

Do you work with videographers?

We have and do, but we generally recommend that a couple invests primarily in a photography team or a videography team. Depending on your wedding, having four or more people shooting you all day long can start to feel a little more "paparazzi" and a little less natural and upstaged. We're passionate about helping our couples be as comfortable and natural on their wedding days as possible! This is one of the reasons we started to offer videography as an add-on. This allows us to have a solid team who have all worked together and knows how to complement each other, rather than take away from the others craft.
