FAQS
I’m currently located in Kittery, Maine and you bet I travel! I have info on travel fees and accommodation fees in my pricing guide once you inquire.
For most engagement sessions I deliver between 75-100+ images. As a minimum for full wedding days ( 8 hours) I deliver 800 images, typically more. I don’t give a maximum number as each day and session is unique and different but I never leave anything out! If you would like to see a full engagement or wedding gallery of a previous client just reach out, I can send over a sample for you to get a sense of how many images I typically deliver.
You will only receive your edited images, as this is part of my creative process and part of the magic! If there are any images you feel have been missed or left out, reach out and I am happy to check and send them over!
I personally LOVE shooting engagement sessions, and every couple I work always says they are so happy they went for it! It is a perfect opportunity for us to meet one another and work together before the big day. These sessions are super relaxed with no time crunch (like some wedding days can feel) so they are a really awesome way for you two to get more comfortable in front of the camera and know a bit more what to expect on your big day. Plus they usually involve fun locations, some food, and a ton of laughing and adventuring. I can send over a few full engagement session albums for you to peak at if you’re interested!
If canceled or rescheduled within 2 months of your original date, you would not be refunded or would be required to put down a new security deposit. If things change prior to 2 months, the security deposit + 10% of your package price can be applied to save a new date if I am available. All of this is covered in detail in my contract as well!
I require a $3,000 deposit for weddings or 50% of your collection price (for other sessions) upfront to secure your date. The remaining balance is split into 2 more payments leading up to your wedding. I also offer payment plans if you are interested; I’d love to customize something to work best for your needs.
The 2nd shooter is great for capturing more moments and details that happen throughout your day that I may miss not being in 2 places at once! Some examples are when one partner is getting ready in another location or for capturing more angles of the ceremony. I recommend a 2nd shooter for weddings over 100 guests. You will also be delivered a higher volume of final edited photos in the end with 2 shooters. I work closely with several other professionals that hold the same standard of work that I do, so you can trust them just the same!
I use two Canon camera bodies and switch out lenses while shooting. I do have professional liability insurance and can provide a certificate to your venue or coordinator if needed.
I am open to rescheduling on another date that works for both of us if it’s due to weather. Your security deposit will apply to this new date. If you need to reschedule for another reason, I require one week notice. Within the week I would require a new date security deposit due to the nature of booking and holding dates.
For portrait, family, headshot and lifestyle sessions I typically get you the full gallery within 3 weeks. For a full wedding day I deliver a sneak peek of 10+ images within 1-3 days and the full gallery within 6 weeks.
