How would you describe your style and do you retouch the photos?

I’d say my style is pretty natural, but I do enjoy getting creative with shots when the opportunity arises. My editing process includes color and lighting correction, with a little sharpening. On close up portraits I lightly soften skin blemishes, but no where near what you’ll see in a high fashion magazine.

I don’t use filters, nor do I shoot in black and white. There’s nothing wrong with any of that, but that’s just not me.

What do your wedding photography packages include?

Every photography package includes high quality images without watermarks, online gallery, and a link to download your photos. Albums and wall art are purchased separately.

What do you need to know before the event?

The most important piece I’d need is the schedule for the day. If you have a shot list, I’ll need that beforehand as well.

Are you willing to follow a shot list?

Yep! It's a good idea to have one.

When and how do we get our photos?

Wedding photos take between 4-6 weeks to go through and edit. I will send a link to your online gallery so that your friends and family can view and download them. I will also send you a link to directly download a zip file of your photos.

Other events can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks depending on the size of the event and how many photos were taken. A link to a zip file of your photos will be sent to you via email and online galleries can be purchased separately.

How do we book you?

I am officially booked once you sign the contract and I receive your 30% non-refundable deposit. Before then I can't guarantee that I will be available for your wedding day. So, book me as soon as possible!

Do you shoot destination weddings?

Who wouldn’t? My time photographing a wedding in Hawaii has only made me want to do it more.

Will I receive high resolution images?

Yes! You will get high quality images without watermarks and a print release so that you can print your photos.

Do you shoot with a second photographer?

While a second shooter isn’t included in any package, you can add one if you would like.

Will you check out our venue in advance?

I try to scout every venue that I will shoot at. I believe it is important to know the place and lighting situation beforehand.

Do you charge a travel fee? If so, what does that cover?

Weddings and events within the Portland Metro area will not incur a travel fee. If it is outside of that, I will discuss it with you beforehand so that there are no surprises.
