to common questions
With years of training under my belt, I know how to pose and guide clients to makethem feel relaxed while looking their very best. I use natural lighting as often aspossible and make sure my sessions are intimate & fun!
I live in the eastern panhandle of WV, and YES! In fact, the majority of my weddings/ sessions are not in my home state (West Virginia). I’ve shot in New York, Colorado, North Carolina, Virginia, DC, Maryland, Pennsylvania, & Ohio so far. Take me with you anywhere – I’m always down for an adventure!
I have limited dates available so I advise my clients to book their wedding photographer as soon as they confirm their wedding venue. Some dates are booked as far as 18- 24 months in advance!
I usually tease a sneak peek of 3- 5 images on social media within a few days after your wedding. Online galleries will be ready within 6- 8 weeks after your wedding.
I do! Each gallery has it’s own print store. However, you are not required to purchase prints from me! I use a lab that I absolutely trust to get the best quality. Upon receiving your usb drive, you will also get a full print release – but if your session didn’t include one and you need a release, send me an email!
My biggest piece of advice for this question is: please wear something you’re comfortable in! I always suggest a casual outfit and a slightly more dressy outfit. However, it’s your session and not required! We can rock an entire shoot without an outfit change. Wear whatever the hell you want! 😉
I definitely recommend adding a second photographer if:
– your guest list is over 150 or you have more than 8 people in your wedding party
– you want getting ready photos of both you and your partner at separate locations
– you want an additional perspective of your wedding day (more candids, different viewpoints, etc.)
People so often come to me saying “oh, we’re so awkward in front of a camera, we aren’t the picture-taking type”. My friend, I’ve got news for you: absolutely nobody knows what to do in front of a camera. I’m here to create moments with you so we can capture FEELINGS. And those kinds of moments are what I’m here to document so you can remember them forever. Don’t worry, I’ll direct you every step of the way so you never have to guess and you’ll be shocked at how natural it will feel!
