Wedding

I love photographing your weddings so much, but I have decided to book fewer of them.

(If you're wondering about this decision, it's TL;DR for here, but I wrote a whole blog about it: Why am I doing less of something I love so much?) (A small update...I did have a 6 hour wedding recently and I WAS FINE. Yay!!!!!!)

My couples tend to be relaxed, artistic, and quirky people who want non-traditional types of weddings. I'm leaving this a little vague because it can mean anything from having circus performers on stilts to catered fine-dining events on private estates. Are you and your partner into something outside the box?

I've had some really awesome and unique weddings, friends, and it's pretty hard to say goodbye to that kind of fun. Your 7 or 8 hour day isn't out of the question, so if you want to chat about your plans and see if we're a fit, then let's go get some coffee or a beer and talk.

Some Q&A

How long have you been a photographer?

Officially since 2013, but I photographed a handful of weddings as a second shooter for other photographers before that.

How do you protect our images?

My cameras have dual card slots and each photo I take saves to both cards. When I upload my photos to edit, they are saved to two separate drives and the cloud, and backed up automatically to an online backup service.

Do you edit all of the photos?

I cull photos to make sure you get the best but aren't overloaded. Also, you don't need 4 of the same photo when I was trying to get one without your uncle blinking or little kid in the front making that face. Also, you don't need the shot where you were partially blinking or talking or whatever. You get the idea. The end result of culling the unnecessary and leaving the gems is that you get an average of 50-75 edited photos per hour of coverage. And your gallery is cohesive, color correct, and professionally edited.

Do you photograph themed weddings?

Yes. Please.

Can we see full galleries?

Sure! I'll happily send you a couple of full galleries if you want to see them.

Are you insured?

Yes, I carry insurance and I can provide your venue with a certificate if needed, as long as I have a heads up to get it ready.

Do you photograph ______ weddings?

The answer is yes. If you don't see yourself represented on my page, it means I need you, obviously.

I went to a wedding Q&A panel once where the topic of LGBTQ clients came up and the panel guest said, "If I don't see someone like myself represented, I probably won't contact them." Aw, sadness. It's an odd sort of feedback loop, isn't it? I can do free photos with models that might not represent real clients, but other than that, how can I show someone I haven't had the opportunity to work with? I'm way overthinking this, but my language on my pages is inclusive for a reason. So come on in!

What kind of gear do you use?

I shoot with two full frame Nikons and a range of lenses for different focal lengths. I bring along lights and stands for dance floor photos.

When will we get our photos?

Photos are delivered in 6 to 8 weeks. I get so excited that I'll probably text you a couple of photos here or there.
