FAQ
How do you require payment?
I know every couple is different, so every payment schedule will look different. I'm super flexible with payment plans, as long as it's all paid a week before your wedding day.
Your retainer will be 25% of your total cost, due one week after I send your proposal. The rest is due one month before your shoot or wedding date. The platform I use, Maroo, allows you to pay online through a credit/debit card or bank transfer. You can also pay with cash or a check.
When will we see our full gallery?
For weddings, I'll give you a few of my favorites 24-48 hours after your wedding day to post and gush about the best day of your life with your honey!
Your full gallery will be available 8-12 weeks after your wedding day.
For lifestyle sessions, I typically take about 2-4 weeks for your full gallery to be in your hands.
Different seasons may give you an advantage, and your photos may get to you quicker! These estimates are just how long I typically take during the busy season.
What's included in a wedding package?
Every wedding package includes:
- One Photographer + Photographer Assistant (supports the day behind the scenes; not a second shooter)
- On-Site Location Shooting
- Online Downloadable Proof Gallery
- Ownership of High-Resolution Images and Printing Rights
I also sit down with you for a coffee date in person or over FaceTime before the wedding day to plan your day-of timeline. This is one of my favorite parts of the job! Over the years, I have learned what is best when making a wedding timeline. I'll make a screensaver of your wedding timeline so it's easy for you (and your wedding party, mom, or whoever) to see where you need to be throughout the day.
Do you have a second shooter?
For an extra charge, yes! I have preferred to shoot by myself over the years. Fewer cameras on you throughout the day complements my documentary, hands-off approach to photography.
However, some couples prefer to have two photographers present. If this is something you're interested in, fill out my contact form and I'll send you all the info. Prices range from $800-$1,000, depending on location and your wedding date.
Do you travel?
I do! I have travel costs that vary depending on where you're headed. If you're traveling, contact me, and I can send you my add-on costs.
Do I have to order prints through you?
You do not! When you pay for a session, you're paying for ALL the photos in your gallery. I have a print shop in your gallery conveniently ready for you to order whatever you're looking for.
I also recommend mpix.com to my clients. Their shop is located out of Lawrence, KS and they get your prints to you within 1-3 days.
