Q: WHAT IS EVENT BASED COVERAGE?
A: Gone are the days of hourly rates. When you book with me- you can rest assured that you day will be fully (and beautifully ) covered, without the stress of squeezing everything into 8 hours. Your coverage will start 2 hours before you put on your wedding dress- to 45 minutes after the final major event of the reception. We will discuss your day specifically to figure out exactly what your wedding requires. EVENT-BASED COVERAGE: is very flexible • reduces the risk of unplanned overtime fees • allows you to enjoy your wedding day • makes it super easy for you to choose your package.

Q: WHY DOES THE COST OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY VARY SO MUCH BETWEEN PHOTOGRAPHERS?
A: The cost of wedding photography is kind of like fingerprints – it’s different for everyone (or in this case, every photographer). There are so many variables in the mix that it’s next to impossible for you to compare 2 photographers to each other – you simply can’t compare apples to oranges.

What we can say; however, is that some photographers (especially those who are first starting out) may be cutting costs in certain areas. Insurances, extra hard drives and online storage for backing up files, professional level backup gear, continuing education – these things are all part of a photographer’s cost of doing business. If you’ve found someone whose price seems too good to be true, it might be because something is missing behind-the-scenes that could put your images at risk.

Q: WHERE DID YOU COME UP WITH  THOSE COLLECTION NAMES?
A:  LOL.  I have to laugh here.   The truth is... I'm all about embracing our own "weird".  I'm about being real.  So this is me being real.  I refer to my amazing clients as #badass and #kick-ass all the time... (and not to mention I've been called a smart-ass from time to time too. ha)  So why not embrace my quirks with some fun wedding package names.   No worries- although I have a potty mouth,  I'm professional and will act as so at every wedding/religious celebration.  In other words-  your grandparents will love me too.   :)     

Q: DO WE HAVE TO BOOK IN PERSON?
A: Nope! Most of my couples are busy professionals! Not to mention they live all over the country. I do require a phone
 conversation though. It's important that we determine if we are a good fit for each other. After we chat- I'll send over everything required to reserve your date! (quote, agreement and invoice!) Everything is handled right online. Easy peasy.

Q: DO YOU TRAVEL?
A: Hell ya!   I've worked in various places including, VT, MA, ME, SC, DC and Haiti.... just to name a few! 

Q: CAN WE FOREGO THE COMPLIMENTARY ENGAGEMENT SESSION?
A: Of course!  Buy why would you? Engagement sessions are offered exclusively to my couples because it is a valuable part of The Wedding Experience. It allows my couples to get comfortable with our specific approach to posing. (or non-posing.  LOL) Consider it practice for the big day! Since the session is complimentary, we do not offer discounts if you choose to forego it.

Q: WE WANT TO LEARN MORE... BUT WE DON'T WANT TO BE PRESSURED.
A: When you reach out to me- you won't find any rockstar egos or tacky sales tactics. You'll just find a photographer who genuinely wants to introduce herself and learn more about you. I'll answer any questions and explain my process. The worst that can happen is you make a new friend. Seriously- you have nothing to lose by inquiring. 

Q: MY PARENTS ARE PAYING FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHY.  WHO SIGNS THE CONTRACT?
A: I strongly recommend you sign the contract, even if someone else is taking care of things financially. Planning a wedding can sometimes make for some sticky family dynamics, and because I'm your advocate and will be by your side for practically your entire wedding day, it's always best if your name is the one on your wedding contract. 

Q: WILL YOU WORK WITH A SHOT LIST?
A: Yes and no. Please tell me all about how your families burst into a crazy flash mob at every wedding they go to, or that you have a really special connection with your grandma, or that all your college friends are flying in from all corners of the globe just for your amazing wedding! I love these things!  

I’ll send you a questionnaire a couple of months before your wedding to talk about the details: things like family groupings your mom will love, important traditions you’re carrying on, and family dynamics I should be aware of.  I’m there to help make things easier for you.  Other than that- Don't worry about shot lists. Have an extra glass of wine and be that much more present for your wedding instead.  It's going to fly by.

Q: CAN YOU RECOMMEND OTHER VENDORS?
A: Of course!  Putting an excellent wedding team together is imperative to the success of your big day!  Check out my Preferred Vendors Here!
