Pick your collection and add ons from the pricing guide. A non-refundable retainer of $750 and a signed contract and many more exclamation marks makes you official. You'll be able to sign your contract and pay your retainer with a bank transfer or credit card all online. Pick what is best for you to keep the booking process super quick and easy!
The remaining balance is split between two payments which are due 90 days and 30 days before your big day.  

Engagement sessions can last 1-2 hours.
Engagement session time isn't taken out of your wedding day coverage.
It's really just an excuse for us to hang out and you get pretty pictures out of the deal. There are no limits to wardrobe changes (but if you bring ten of them we might need to have an intervention). We just adventure, get to know each other, and have fun. For all couples that decide on an engagement session, you receive an engagement session guide to help you prepare!

If you order product separately or have it included in your customized collection, sales tax will apply.
If you have an album credit included, all changes to the original design will need to be submitted within thirty days
Albums are where most of my couples spend extra so go in with that in mind. It can either be a highlight reel or tell the full story of your day.

This is an excellent question! During a wedding the majority of the camera bodies will be using dual card slots. That means that there are two sets of cards with your photos just in case one fails. All memory card are kept on my person to prevent theft until I arrive safely home. After a wedding all memory cards are immediately imported to two external hard drives. The first external hard drive goes into a fire proof safe and the second is used to edit from. Then both sets of your memory cards are organized and set to the side as a third backup to be formatted only once your wedding gallery is delivered. The backup of your wedding is kept for six months.

Your gallery is online for ninety days. You will need to download your photos before that time. I recommend you backing them up to two locations just in case AND order prints, canvases, and albums. You can also opt to pay to keep your gallery online.  Technology can be a jerk and it's always a good idea to be extra cautious.

Sure do. I have a business license. I have insurance. I pay taxes. So many taxes.  I don't mess around.

Sure can! I have TONS of resources to help you in your wedding planning journey. One of them is a timeline builder where we work together to build a timeline that fits your wedding perfectly. I also have lots of tips to help you get the best out of your timeline and when the best times for photos will be etc.

I got you. Just focus on having fun and I'll take care of the rest! I HATE super posed or phony photos...you hate super posed photos (which is why you're here). It might get a little weird but we're going to embrace it and have ourselves a good time. What really matters most is marrying that super hot spouse of yours and being present and connected with the people you love.

Nope! I'll send you galleries or blog posts of similar venues as examples. If scheduling and travel allow, rehearsal coverage is also available to add on. 

Anything within a driving distance of two hours is included because let's face it, California has traffic everywhere so you shouldn't be blamed for that. After that a flat fee of $500 will be added for 180 miles or more. If additional travel is needed for multiple days, a fee for a hotel room will be added on so your photographer (hi that's me) doesn't die trying to get home. If a wedding requires a flight then the cost is added on a case to case basis. Any wedding covering multiple days will require an additional fee.

I like a payment plan just as much as the next person so I try and make this as easy as possible! A non-refundable retainer of $750 and a signed contract secure your wedding date. The remaining balance of your collection is equally divided into two invoices, the first due 90 days before your wedding and the final due 30 days before your wedding day. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

As per industry standard no raw files will be provided.  Your gallery is carefully curated and fully edited to tell the complete story of your day.

All galleries come with a print release. As is the law, copyright remains with the photographer.

Fancy professional Canon camera bodies and prime lenses that each cost more than my first car (I cry a little inside if I think about it). Backup camera bodies, lenses, flashes, batteries, and memory cards are brought to every wedding as an added precaution.  For film photography I have a variety of 35mm cameras.  A medium format film camera will be in my future soon.

Your gallery will have ALL culled and edited photos. Expect roughly 50-75 images per hour of coverage.
