the process

You can expect a few sneak peek photos within 24-48 hours after your event. For weddings/elopements, your full gallery will be delivered within 6-8 weeks, depending on my travel schedule. For sessions, your full gallery will be delivered within 3 weeks. I never rush the editing process because I like to give each individual image the attention to details it truly deserves.

+ what is the turnaround time for our gallery?

Yes, I love to travel and take a limited number of destination weddings per year. Additional travel fees apply to locations outside the Bay Area. Reach out for a custom quote, I’d love to explore with you!

+ do you charge a travel fee?

Yes! I shoot with 35mm film, which is included in the package pricing.

+ Do you shoot film?

I never deliver raw files. The editing process is a special part of my gallery deliveries and creative process. I filter out all images that are duplicates and that aren't usable (eyes closed, out of focus, etc), and will always include all the images I think you would love.

+ do you offer raw files?

I will touch up any temporary blemishes but I do not offer any photoshop services that alter you, your body, or the environment. My documentary style of photography is meant to showcase + celebrate how beautiful life and people are, exactly the way they are.

+ how much do you edit photos?

I always encourage embracing all types of weather because magic can be made in any type of conditions! If the weather is extreme or you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, we can set a reschedule date.

+ what if the weather is bad for our session / event?

Definitely! A 40% retainer will be required to secure the date, however for the remainder of the portion owed, I am happy to work with you on a custom payment plan.

+ do you offer payment plans?

When you're ready to book, please fill out the form on my contact page. From there, I'll send over a contract + invoice (40% deposit for weddings/elopements and 50% deposit for all other sessions). Your date will officially be secured and on my calendar after the contract is signed and invoice is paid.

+ how do we book you?
