Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve been photographing weddings for over 15 years. With a background in art, graphic design, and product photography, my work blends storytelling with evolving digital technology. From my very first wedding, I was drawn to the romance and emotion—turning a lifelong passion into a full-time career.

With over 15 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I specialize in photojournalistic wedding photography blended with fine-art and editorial style. I capture real emotions, authentic moments, and beautiful details as they naturally unfold, using creative lighting and artistic composition to tell your wedding story. My goal is for you to not just like your wedding photos—but truly fall in love with them.

Some photographers focus on traditional posed images, while others specialize in photojournalistic or documentary-style photography, capturing real moments as they naturally happen. Others blend fine-art or editorial styles, using creative lighting and composition for a more polished look. Review our full wedding galleries to see which style resonates with you.

All your wedding photos will be delivered within 5-6 weeks from your wedding date. We will send you 10 to 15 teasers within 2-3 days of your wedding date.

We don’t have a set number and it does depend on the size of your wedding. If you have two photographers for eight hours, then it tends to result in approximately 600 to 800 photos. We definitely shoot more photos, but we edit out the shots that feature more of the floor than the faces of your friends, and we delete any shots where someone has walked in front of the camera. Nobody needs to see those, those will be deleted.

Yes, all of our packages include high-resolution images so you can post them online or have them printed at your convenience.

All collections include a gallery-style password protected online gallery (good for 1 year!) and some collections also include a USB and a flash mount wedding album as well. Our beautiful online gallery of proofs is an exciting way to share your images with your family and friends.

No they are not, high-resolution files do not have any watermarks.

It might sound crazy but Yes, I do. I mainly focus on couple portraits, family formals, details & decor. All other images are color corrected and cropped.

RAW and unedited wedding photos are not provided for viewing. Any images not delivered are those that are unusable—such as photos with eyes closed, missed flash, motion blur, or someone walking in front of the lens.

We do not cull images to reach a maximum photo count. Instead, every delivered image is carefully selected, edited, cropped, and color-corrected to ensure the highest quality and consistency.

Professional photographers capture images in RAW format (such as .NEF, .CRW, or .ARW, depending on the camera brand). These RAW files are unprocessed and cannot be viewed in standard photo preview applications.

To be viewable on any device, RAW files must be converted to JPEG format. This conversion requires basic color correction and image processing to ensure accurate exposure, natural skin tones, and consistent color.

For this reason, even when RAW files are requested, a level of color correction is always required before delivery to maintain professional image quality.

Our video editing process is probably the most extensive part of our production process, that's why it takes some time to produce. If you have highlight-reel with your package, we will send you 3-5 min. highlight-reel within 3-4 weeks of your wedding date. We give you a full length edited video within 3-4 months from your wedding date,

All videos are edited in wedding date order. The RAW and unedited files aren't available for viewing or purchase.

It really depends on the package you select. Most of our packages include Full Day Coverage! Full Day coverage consists of a start time of 2 hours prior to the ceremony start time OR 4 hours prior to the ceremony if the couple is doing a First Look. We are with you until midnight or last dance (whichever comes first), however, we will not exceed 12 hours. Every day is different!

It really depends on number of things. A second photographer is always recommended if you wish to emphasize photo-journalistic photography, or if you have a large number of wedding guests. Two photographers can work together for excellent coverage throughout your day with true photo-journalistic excellence.

For a 200-250 person wedding, we recommend two photographers and one assistant. However, we specialize in shooting weddings that are unique, therefore we customize the photography coverage based on your day and your need.

In addition to our photography services, we also provide documentary style video as well as cinematography services.

Yes, you will be able to pick your favorite images from your online proofing gallery, which will be used as a guideline during your album designing process.

It depends on the album, we offer few different album options. However, we recommend that you select about 40-50 photos. Once you submit your selection, we will organize the entire layout of your selected photos and will place them in chronological order and email you the digital proof for you to review.

Production times vary, but usually within 4-6 weeks from the time you select your images.  You will receive two layout change approvals before it goes to print.

Yes, We do shoot RAW files. RAW files need to be color and exposure corrected. This is done by hand or rather eye. To do this, we use professional grade software as is usual in the pro-photography world.

We do a lot of culling, editing and juxtaposing - and, well the top photos get a little love in Photoshop (trust us - you would never know it!). We have a great team of editors here in the studio that are dedicated to making sure the photos look great.

Yes. I feel that converting some of the images to black and white emphasizes the people along with the mood and excitement of the wedding.

Yes! You’re welcome to change outfits during your engagement photo session. To make the most of your time, we suggest bringing outfits that are easy to change into for a smooth transition.

We offer two session options: 1.5 hours and 2.5 hours. If you plan to change outfits, we recommend the 2.5-hour session, as it provides enough time to capture photos in your first outfit, take a short break for a wardrobe change, and then continue photographing you in your second outfit.

If rain is in the forecast for your engagement session day, we will discuss options with you in advance. You can choose to reschedule for another day.

If there is a chance of rain, we strongly recommend rescheduling. However, if the client chooses to proceed with the session and it does rain, a reshoot can be scheduled for another day with a postponement fee of $250.
