Yes! I do this because I genuinely love documenting all love stories and I am committed to working with every couple who gives me their trust, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, age, ability, or any other aspect. Part of my drive for continuing to photograph weddings after over a decade of doing so is to help create a more inclusive place within an industry that has historically never been inclusive. This question is first in my FAQ because it is, in my opinion, the most important. All love is welcome.
01. Will you photograph our wedding?
While I am based in New England, I travel worldwide to photograph weddings and elopements. Travel fees and expenses are assessed on an individual basis outside of my 200-mile range from Providence or Boston. This covers most of New England and the Hudson Valley, so if you're looking to celebrate somewhere in this region, there typically will not be any fee charged for the travel.
02. Will you TRAVEL TO X?
Yes. I am fully insured through Hiscox Insurance and if your venue requires a COI, I am happy to send it along.
03. ARE YOU INSURED?
Heck yes. I have been using film in my process as a wedding photographer since I started in 2011. Every full-day wedding package includes some amount of film coverage and depending on what you're looking for it can range from a roll of highlights on 35mm throughout the day to a film-first approach with 35mm and 120mm coverage. That being said, I also shoot digitally with the same approach in terms of style, editing, and intentionality. If you love the idea of having a record of your day in the physical world, you're in the right place. Check out my blog post for more on why I shoot film.
04. DO YOU SHOOT FILM?
All wedding and elopement galleries are delivered within 6-8 weeks from the event date. I always send a small preview gallery of images within 72hrs. Engagement and couples sessions are delivered within 4 weeks from our shoot day.
05. WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?
Every wedding and elopement is different and sometimes the pace of the day comes into play with the final amount of delivered images. For each hour of coverage, you can expect to receive 70-100 edited (always by me) photos.
06. HOW MANY IMAGES WILL WE RECEIVE?
To lock in your wedding or elopement day I require a 20% retainer on the total package amount. From that point on, you've hired me as your photographer and ensured that your day will be documented exactly how you envisioned it. The final balance on all wedding and elopements is due 14 days prior to the date.
07. What is needed to book?
