What’s your photography style?
Honestly, my style is flexible and can reflect anything you’re looking for. When I began my career 8+ years ago, I itched to categorize my style as many photographers do but through time, I grew to enjoy, appreciate, and be versatile in many styles. Style aside, I always provide my couples with direction on poses, angles, lighting, backgrounds/photo locations, and more.
My ultimate goal is to capture moments that tell your wedding day story. We can make it whatever you want it to be – fun and relaxed or dramatic and conceptual. It’s all up to you since it’s your day. No worries if you don’t know what you like. I’m happy to share a few photo samples and galleries during our complimentary consultation meeting so we can pinpoint what suits you best.
Chicago, IL Wedding
I don’t know how to pose and I’ve never had my photo professionally taken, will our photos still turn out nice?
The photos you see on this site are from real weddings and engagements featuring real couples. I never do styled shoots and I never use models unless its for commercial work. It can be intimidating being in front of a camera but if you’re not sure what to do with your face and hands, I’m here to guide you and make you look and feel your best. If you happen to be very photogenic and are comfortable with getting close to your partner, then we’re already on a good start.
Dallas, TX Wedding
Do you photograph details and family photos during the wedding day?
Of course! A wedding day would not be complete without family portraits and details from your day.
Can I give you a shot list?
When you contact me about shooting your wedding, I will send you some full galleries of real weddings to look through. You’ll see that I make sure everything important is captured. The only list I will ask for is your list of family group shots.
How many photographers will be at my wedding?
I always recommend at least two photographers for each wedding. The second photographer is chosen from a reserved list of very talented people who either run their own photography company or have worked with me directly. The second photographer is responsible for shooting the groom prep, details, capturing a second angle on the ceremony and reception, and assisting the lead photographer with lighting for portraits.
What do you do if it rains/snows on our wedding day?
If it does rain/snow, we’ll make the best out of it and unique photos that no one else will get. All my equipment is weather sealed so rest assured we can keep shooting and stick on schedule. If your ceremony is outdoors, many outdoor venues offer a indoor back up location for inclement weather.
What kind of equipment do you use?
I shoot with the latest professional Nikon equipment and edit on a Apple Macbook Pro/iMac 27″. Check out the full list here.
When will we see our photographs?
After a triple back up of your wedding photos, I go through all the images taken from the wedding day and select the best ones to edit for your gallery. It takes about 8-12 weeks during peak season (May-October) and 7-10 weeks the rest of the year. Once the photos are completed, your online gallery will be made available for you and friends and family for viewing. Products such as prints, canvases, and albums can be purchased at that time.
That’s a long time to get my photos – some photographers have faster turn around time, why do you take so long?
Like all good things in life, some things take time. I work hard to make sure the photos you receive will be ones you can look back on proudly and share for many years to come. Because of this, all work is done in house and I personally review and adjust each photo individually for the best print standards and colors.
Great! How do we book you for our wedding?
Use the CONTACT at the top of the page to get the latest info about about pricing, products and availability. When you’re ready to move forward, all I would need to secure your wedding date is a signed agreement and a retainer for half of the balance.
