wedding faq
how do you deliver
photos and videos?
You'll receive your photos in an online gallery where you can download them at full-resolution and web-size resolution. There’s also a high quality print shop attached to your gallery for easy printing but only if you want to use the service.
For video, I also send over a link to your videos where you can download them at high resolution.
do you give raws?
(unedited files)
I don't because countless hours have been spent perfecting the editing process. There won’t be any important photos or videos left out. If you feel I've missed delivering a photo or clip, feel free to ask!
how long have you
been doing this?
I photographed my first wedding when I was 17 which was 14 years ago. (wild!) I've since captured hundreds of weddings and elopements. It's the best job ever.
how to payment
schedules work?
50% deposit to hold your date
50% 1 month before your date
what if we want an engagement shoot
before our wedding date?
Perfect! You can add it on to any package. It's such a great way to get used to being in front of the camera before your wedding day and makes the process so much smoother on your big day cause we get to hang ahead of time. :)
what’s included
with a video package?
Every video package includes two videos: a Cinematic Feature and a Social Media Highlight.
Cinematic Feature: A 5-10 minute cinematic video that tells your story and recaps some of the most beautiful moments of the day in an artistic and authentic feature. Includes song licenses for the music used.
Social Media Highlight: A 2-4 minute highlight of your ceremony that can be shared on social media.
Full Length Add-On: You can opt to add on a full length documentary-style video of your day and includes the entire ceremony from beginning to end as well as all the toasts, speeches and dances. It can vary in length depending on the day, but ranges from half an hour to 2 hours. This video can also include the music and songs you choose for walking down the aisle and first dances. This video will not be published online.
do you have a team?
Yes! If I’m booked on your date, I have an amazing team of professional photographers and videographers I’ve been working with for years. I still do all of the emailing ahead of time plus the editing and delivering of your photos and videos to keep things simple.
what if don’t want our
photos or videos online?
I totally understand and want to respect your privacy. Just let me know and I can adjust the contract so nothing is published on my website or social media.
do you capture day before
or wedding weekends?
Absolutely! There's an add-on section in the Wedding Pricing Guide which lays out hourly 'day-before' coverage but I can also create a custom package depending on how much coverage you need.
you can just photoshop that, right?
It's important that the photos to look like you so I don't photoshop or alter body images. 🤍
what’s your travel fee?
Additional ground travel beyond Santa Cruz will be charged at $1 to the mile.
what’s the fee for
second shooters?
$75 an hour fee for a second photographer and $100 an hour for an additional videographer.
do you offer discounts
if we pay cash?
what are the next steps?
Yes! I offer a 5% discount for cash payments
Let's hop on a call to hear more about your day, make sure we're a good fit and answer any questions you might have. If you decide to book with me, I'll send over a contract and payment plan. A month or so before your wedding day you'll receive a questionnaire for all of the day-of details. From there we can plan another call to go over the timeline and shot list to make sure we’re good to go for your big day :)
