FAQs

1. What is your wedding rate?

   My wedding rate is $3,500 for 8 hours of coverage. There is flexibility, though, in the number of hours covered, so please message me with your wedding details and we can discuss.

2. What is your style?

   It’s a blend of creative and traditional. I use elements like prisms, metal rings, leaves — whatever looks interesting in a location — to help make some images. But the pictures are all grounded in traditional ideas related to shape, line, and structure. I also blend documentary and portraiture styles. At times I am the fly-on-the-wall photographing what I see, and other times I am directing, getting people lined-up and organized.

3. How long have you been photographing weddings? What have you learned?

   I’ve been photographing weddings for 10 years, my own clients and also for studios. I’ve learned that most issues during a wedding day can be avoided with proper planning.

4. Can we add extra time?

   Yes. I don’t double-book on wedding days so if you need additional time we can add it at any point, including wedding day.

5. Can we add a second photographer? Do you take video?

   Yes, all though I only recommend a second photographer for large weddings.

   I do not offer in-house video, but can recommend studios who do.

6. Do you travel?

   Yes. There is a travel fee for weddings more than 30 minutes from Lemont, IL. The fee depends on all the variables involved.

7. How many photos do we get?

   An 8-hour wedding gallery has around 500 images.

8. Are all the photos edited?

   Yes. All of the delivered images will be edited and presented as I intend them to look.

9. Do we get all of our files?

   Yes. You and I will share image rights to all the delivered files from your wedding day. I will provide you a download PIN from my gallery site and you are free to download, save, and use the photos how you see fit. Print options from my lab are also available through the gallery site if you want the best quality prints!

10. Do you offer engagement sessions?

    Yes, I encourage them and the engagement session is part of the price listed above. It is a great time to get to know each other better and also get an understanding of how we all work together.

11. Are you insured?

    Yes. Let me know if your venue needs my insurance info.
