Each year this changes, but 2024 I’m only accepting under 20. I do this so I can give my couples the best experience and photos possible and not spread myself thin. I focus on quality, not quantity. I’m not in this for the money, I’m in this for you. For reference, I used to do 30-40 weddings per year (crazy!!).
I’m taking a year to follow where you take me but you can find me the most in Minneapolis, MN, Denver, CO and Dublin, Ireland. (Check out my about page to learn more).
Each one of my packages varies in how many images are delivered, but I promise I’ll always include plenty of images of everything I capture. I don’t like to give a cutoff number because I don’t believe in withholding any images from you to get you to pay more like some photographers do. These are your memories, I promise to capture them fully and give you more than enough images to remember this time in your lives but I do give a large sneak peek 24-72 hrs after I take your photos.
The turnaround depends on how much I shoot, how busy I am, my travel schedule, and the holidays. Typically, for sessions it takes 3 weeks or less and weddings take 8 weeks or less. I try to get them back to you as soon as possible while making sure I give time to each and every image needs.
No, as I believe that editing is half the magic that goes into images and without this huge step the images are only halfway done. I promise to never leave any photos out that you’ll want/need, and if you feel I missed delivering a photo, just ask! I’m more than happy to check back through my images and send it over to you (I make mistakes, no lie!). I won’t let you miss out on your memories!
I require 30% retainer to secure your spot on my calendar, and the remaining 70% is due 1 month in advance for weddings, 2 weeks in advance for shoots. You can split these payments (up to 3 payments) if you’d like to help make it more affordable. I’m happy to work with your schedule!
I don’t alter the way you look other than skin blemishes or anything temporary that would not normally be there (bruise, scrape, acne etc unless you’d like me to keep it in the photos). If you’re self conscious about something, please let me know as I’ll be sure to be extra aware of that while I’m posing you.
If you’ve already put a retainer down on a date then have to move/cancel it, the deposit is legally non-refundable and a new deposit will have to be made in order to hold your new date.
Heaven forbids this happens, as it would only happen if it were out of my control (act of god, illness, death, etc). but in this case I would do my best to help find a replacement photographer to take my place that I trust with a similar style, although I’m not legally held to do so. If I can’t make it to your wedding your money will be refunded.
I always encourage embracing whatever weather comes our way, as it’s beautiful and unique in photos. If it is harsh enough that it would make for a shitty time at our shoot and I can reschedule (or ruin my gear), then we totally will!
Each wedding or elopement is different in timelines, locations and needs, so reach out to get a custom quote for your special day. Each wedding will include the following: complimentary engagement session, travel expenses covered, 500+ enhanced images, forever online gallery, timeline planning + advice
90% of my weddings I photograph solo. While I'm extremely confident in my ability to photograph all of my weddings solo, second photographers are nice for large weddings, when couples are getting ready at separate locations and if you want alternate angles for every moment.
Yes! In fact, I’ll help you create your entire photo timeline to make sure the day runs seamlessly and we have time for all of the photos you’ll ever need!
