How does the payment process work?
I work entirely through an all-in-one client management software called Honeybook. I send all contracts and invoices through this system. Payment can be submitted here. I require a 40% non-refundable retainer to book your wedding and officially get you on my books for that date. The remainder is due 1 month before your big day! One thing fully checked off your to-do list.
I always recommend the sooner, the better! Most couples start looking to within a few weeks after being proposed to. However, feel free to take your time and do your research on your photographers. Photographers tend to book up quickly, but this is a big part of your day. Take your time and make sure you find the perfect fit for YOU.
how far in advance should we book?
Do you have insurance?
Yes, I'm so happy you asked! Wedding albums are not included in every wedding package, but you can add one on to any package! You can add it on when you book, or after the online gallery is delivered. Every wedding and every couple is different, so this is a more individualized process.
Do you offer albums?
Do you edit all of our photographs?
Throughout the editing process, I hand-select which photos to edit in B&W based on a few different factors (mood, lighting, and what will be best to tell the story of your wedding day, to name a few). You will have a beautiful mix of color and B&W photos, but if there is a specific one that is in color, but you want in B&W, just let me know!
Will Our Photos be delivered in both black & white and color?
Do you offer prints?
I do not offer prints in my wedding packages, but I am happy to point you in the right direction for photo labs. Just reach out and ask!
All of the final edited photos will be delivered to your email with a link to your online gallery. From there, you can download your photos with the provided PIN, share the link with friends/family, share to social media, and order prints.
What is the "online gallery"?
I usually do not work with second shooters for elopements. This is absolutely something that you can add on. Just let me know if this is something you want to talk with me about. I'm happy to talk through it with you and see if it's the right decision for you and your needs on your big day!
Do you work with second shooters? Who are they?
Yes. Always. I’m a chronic over-packer. I always prepare (for weddings and everything else in life) by packing more equipment than I expect to need. And then when I think I have everything I could possibly need, I pack some more. I always have at least two camera bodies at every wedding, extra flashes, SD cards, batteries, etc.
Do you have backup gear?
I'm based out of Atlanta, GA! Traveling is a passion of mine and I end up traveling for many of the weddings I photograph. To keep things simple, travel costs are included for any elopement within the continental USA. International elopements would be subject to travel fees. Elopements are almost always booked and planned on a case-by-case basis, but you could expect the travel fees such as the flight, rental car, and lodging to be included in most elopement packages.
No elopement is too far. Just inquire for more information.
Do you also provide video services?
Where are you based and How much does it cost to travel to our Elopement?
Yes, absolutely. So much insurance. Many venues will refuse to allow me (or any wedding vendor) on their property without liability insurance.
I personally do not offer video services, but I have worked with some INCREDIBLE videographers and video teams. I'd be more than happy to send you recommendations.
Yes! I cull through every single photo taken throughout the day and hand-select the photos that best represent your big day. Every photo in your final gallery will be edited to improve lighting, contrast, sharpness, and color. Portraits of the couple receive minor blemish removal if needed. I will also do my best to remove any distractions in the photo, but this is not guaranteed, and it just depends on what it is and how prominent it is in the photo.
