The Experience
My favorite pictures are the unplanned ones. You might be thinking, “What the heck does that mean?” Let me explain. I rarely say, “Okay, stand like this. Now tilt your head a little to the right.. Okay don’t move!” For the most of your pictures you will be moving. It might be running across a field together, pretending like you're dancing in kitchen, kiss her like it’s your last. I am all about capturing the moments that happen naturally. Each couple has a new and different story, I will create poses based off of that story and your personalities. You might be a free-spirited playful couple or you might be an intimate let’s-get-sexy couple. Whichever it is, I will capture it.
WEDDINGS & ELOPEMENTS
I will become your bff. Did you know the person you will spend most of your wedding day with is usually your photographer? Even more than your soon-to-be hubby/wife? As soon as you inquire with me, we will get the ball rolling. I include an engagement session with all of my wedding packages so that on your wedding day, you know exactly what to expect. We will have a coffee/pizza/ice-cream date to go over a timeline of your wedding day. (TRUST ME. Having a timeline will make your life so much easier! You can share it with all of your vendors and family members, too.) I will help you to plan your dream wedding day. The day of, I will make sure you are ready to go. You may be booking your photographer, but, booking with me, you get so much more! Here’s some of the things I tend to do on your wedding day:
hair/makeup assistant
dress holder (pee breaks included!)
rounding up the bridal party
checking on mom
time/schedule keeper
last minute decorator
ironing/steaming dresses
tissue carrier
marriage license holder
COUPLE SESSIONS
I will ask what your date night looks like. Or a hobby you guys like to do together. I will then ask to be your third wheel on your next date night. It could be a skateboarding session, a movie night, a breakfast feast, hiking in the mountains, or painting. Whatever you love to do, will make the best pictures. And don’t say, “I’m not good in front of the camera,” or “I hate taking pictures.” The whole point of booking with me is to make it seem like I’m not even there! So, go put together a fun playlist and let's have a dance party at your session.
FAQs
How long will it take to get my photos?
I know, I know. After you have your dream session and meet your new fav hype man, you want to see the magic you created! For a typical engagement and couples session, I will have your pictures to you within one-to-two weeks. For a wedding gallery, I will have your pictures to you within four-six weeks. Don’t chew off your nails waiting, usually it’s a tad sooner!
What happens if you can’t make it to our shoot?
Cross my fingers and knock on wood, this has never happened and hopefully will never happen! In the event that it does, I will search high and low to get you a photographer that will provide you with the same package. I am part of a few different groups exclusively for photographers and will reach out to them first. If the cost is higher, I will take those personally. There will never be a time that you are stranded with iPhone pictures. I will find you a photographer!
Do I have copyright to the images?
In the end, I (the photographer) technically owns all images. However, you can still print, share, and send some to nanny to make you some amazing scrapbooks! Basically, you cannot share my images for commercial use. If your venue or make-up artist wants to use some for their page, just send them to me and I will get them what they need! Don’t worry, usually me and your vendors are best buds, too.
What if I need to reschedule?
If you live in PA like I do, we all know the weather is very.. I guess you could say “temperamental.” If you need to reschedule for any reason, we will work together to agree on a mutual date for your shoot. Obviously, wedding days can be a bit different. If the weather is bad, we will embrace it! And don’t you know? You will have good luck for your marriage!
How many photos will I get?
Each session has a minimum of 50 pictures per hour. And when I say minimum, I mean it. If there are more pictures that I have I will 100% include them. I am known to either double or triple the minimum. Wedding days, often differ based on packages.
What should I wear?
This is one of my fav questions! And do NOT worry, I have got you covered! Not only will I send you a style guide, but when booking with me, you have instant access to my client closet. I have clothes for guys ranging from M-XL and clothes for the ladies ranging from XS-3XL. Most of the ladies clothes are dresses/pantsuits from lulus, zara, and my personal favorite, baltic born. For lifestyle sessions, these clothes are free to use. For wedding days, you are able to rent out dresses for ALL of your bridesmaids for a small cleaning fee of $30 per dress. Yep, that’s right. You can make your mismatched dress dream come true for a quarter of the price. In the end, we will find you something that you feel confident in for your shoot!
