FAQ’S

For all the questions you have about my work, travel, and the little things in between.

  • What is your turn around time?

    Due to the limited amount of work I take each year, my turn around time varies depending on the time of year, my travel schedule, and holidays. Right now for wedding galleries, it’s between 5-7 weeks, and all other session types around a month. I’ll keep you updated throughout the process to let you know where your gallery is at!

  • How many images will I receive?

    The amount of images you will receive depends on how long we are together! I don’t put limits on the amount of images attached to a gallery, but I do promise to give a complete gallery of your day, leaving nothing out. That number typically ranges from 50-75+ photos an hour.

  • Do you have travel fees?

    I do have travel fees, but it’s a flat rate (so you don’t have to worry about calculating costs) and only applies if travel consists of me staying overnight :) See my pricing for more.

  • What if there is bad weather?

    I am ALWAYS down to shoot in the rain! I would only recommend rescheduling if it is harsh enough weather that it would make it uncomfortable for you, or if it’s bad enough it can damage my gear.

  • How do payments work?

    I do all contracts/invoices through a program called Honeybook (it’s extremely user friendly). I require a deposit, then everything else is due the week prior to your wedding. Payment plans are always available.

  • What if you can't make it to my wedding?

    God forbid this ever happen, as it would be something I had no control over (act of God, severe illness, travel problems, etc.), but, if so, you would receive a refund of your remaining balance, and I would do everything in my power to set you up with another photographer asap!

  • What will you help with?

    For my brides/grooms, I am here for all your questions/tips on things! From jewelry to timeline, I have a lot of experience to give you the best recommendations. For all other session types, I will do the location scouting, and figuring out “day of” details. You just let me know what you need, and I got ya covered!

  • What do I wear?

    Don’t worry, I have plenty of suggestions and ways to help you find the perfect outfits!

  • Do you send raw images?

    No. As a good portion of the artistic side of my job is done after the shoot, I only deliver high quality, edited images.

  • Can you photoshop us?

    Because I believe in authenticity and raw emotion, I do not edit or photoshop anything out that is permanent. I will clean up acne/small blemishes, but will not alter the subjects in the images in any way.

  • Where are you based? What do you travel for?

    I’m based in Lancaster, PA! I travel for every sort of occasion, big or small. I will travel to you, or with you, to that epic spot you’ve always loved or wanted to visit!

  • How do you protect my images?

    I do everything in my power to make sure not to lose a single image from your day. While shooting, your images are stored in two different places. When I get back to the office they are then stored in 3 more places(total of 5), so even if one aspect fails, I have plenty of back ups to protect your memories. I never share images without consent.
