Wedding Photography FAQs

Questions?

What makes you different from other wedding photographers?

I specialize in capturing real, candid moments with a timeless and natural feel. My approach ensures you feel comfortable and at ease, so your photos reflect genuine emotions, not forced poses. I know how to handle any lighting, weather, or timeline challenges seamlessly.

How long does it take to receive my wedding photos?

You’ll receive a sneak peek 24-48 hours after the wedding, and your full gallery will be delivered within 4-6 weeks. Every photo is hand-edited to ensure the best quality, so you’ll have stunning, timeless images to cherish forever.

What happens if you can’t make it to my wedding due to an emergency?

While I have never missed a wedding, I have a trusted network of professional photographers on standby. If an emergency arises, I will ensure a skilled photographer captures your day seamlessly, and I will still personally handle all editing to maintain my signature style.

Do you have backup equipment in case of emergencies?

I always bring backup equipment with me! Things happen, cameras stop working mysteriously, so I want to make sure I'm as prepared as possible.

How do I know you’re the right photographer for me?

Photography is personal, and I want you to feel completely confident in your choice. That’s why I offer a free consultation to chat about your vision, get to know each other, and see if we’re the perfect fit. Let’s talk and make sure your wedding day is captured exactly how you imagine!
