Frequently Asked Questions

What does “All day” mean?
As hard as it is to believe, all day means all day. It can be different for each couple, but I usually start with the Bride is getting ready and leave after all the events happen at the reception. All day means you don’t have to worry, if I’ll be there capturing moments. If it’s happening at your wedding, I’ll be there!

How many photos will we get?
This depends on how much happens at your wedding, how many guest, all day or just a few hours. Having a second shooter can also increase the number of images. Typically, you will receive 400-600 images.

Do you have a second photographer?
Yes, I do provide a second photographer to help capture the day with package two or three.

What equipment do you use?
I shoot with professional Canon digital cameras and lenses.

Can our friends and family take pictures?
Yes! As a photographer, I believe the more photos the better. Friends and family are welcome to capture photos as long as they respectfully don’t crowd around me. When a couple hires me to photograph their wedding, I give them the best photos possible. Doing that is much easier when I don’t have others photographers swarming around me.

Can we give you a check list?
No, but you can give me a wish list. I believe checklist can distract me from creatively capturing your special day. However, I welcome any wish list photos you may have.

Will you come to the rehearsal dinner?
I normally do not come to the rehearsal dinners, however, this can be added to your package for an additional Engagement session fee.

How long after our wedding do we get our photos?
I do my best to get them to you in about two weeks. If your wedding is in the summer, or any other part of a busy wedding season, it may take just a little bit longer.

Where are you based out of?
I live in Riverside, CA. I shoot weddings all over Southern California.

What is an engagement session?
An engagement session is special moment for you and your fiancée to spend some time together and get some awesome pictures. The engagement session is unique because you can choose to do it anywhere. It’s also a time for both of you to meet me, and a time for me to meet both of you.

Where can we take our engagement photos?
Anywhere! Well, anywhere within reason :) Popular places include the beach, gardens, colleges, beach towns, rolling green hills or anywhere that may be special to you.

Do you have a payment schedule?
No. I require a non-refundable $400 retainer to hold your date, which counts towards your total package price.
The remainder is due two weeks before the wedding.

I still have a few questions, can we meet?
Absolutely! Send me an email or give me a call so we can schedule a time to answer your questions in person!

We would like you to be our photographer, what’s our next step?
I would love to meet you in person. After that you can put down you deposit to reserve your day. Then we can schedule your engagement session anytime there after.
