Frequently Asked Questions
What’s your photographic style?
My style is timeless and true to color — refined but never over-edited. I’m drawn to natural light, honest emotion, and the in-between moments that often go unseen. My approach is intentional yet effortless: I guide when needed, but I also know when to step back and let connection take the lead. The result is imagery that feels grounded, emotive, and true — photographs that will still feel real decades from now.
Should I get a second photographer?
If groomsmen and the bridesmaids are getting ready in separate locations, and opt for a first look, you should get a second shooter. Otherwise, you don’t absolutely need one, but you will get more images and angles. I have shot medium-large size weddings just myself so if it’s not within your budget, I wouldn’t sweat it. Every couple’s desires and budget is different and we cover this in detail together during our pre-wedding consultation so I can make the best package recommendations for you.

Can you send me the raw files?
Sorry, but I don’t send raw files. This is equivalent to asking for a wedding cake and in addition to receiving the cake, asking for the recipe so you can bake it yourself. You’re paying for my art because you trust me as an artist. Also, I only deliver photos that pass my quality check and are representative of my brand so rest assured your images will be of the highest standard possible.
Can you send me full pricing before we meet?
No, sorry but that’s not how I do things. I don’t accept bookings for weddings/elopements without a consultation. I need to make sure we are the right fit for each other, and I also help you determine what the right package is for you. Every wedding is different, every person is different; I pride myself on providing a personalized experience. I also find that price sheets without context generate more questions than answers. It’s just easier and quicker to have a consultation where we can explore fit.
Can packages be customized?
Absolutely! Every client has specific needs. The packages offered are what most clients are looking for. We can work together to adjust that based on your needs. My goal is to provide a package that has everything you want and nothing you don’t to best fit what you’re looking for within your budget.
How should I book an engagement session and wedding package?
Most of my wedding packages come with a complementary engagement session.
If you book an engagement shoot with me, and decide you’d like to book your wedding with me, you will receive half-credit of your engagement shoot towards your wedding package.
How does your pricing work for destination weddings?
Travel costs are included at different levels depending on the package booked. Additional distance is offered at a minimal travel surcharge just to cover gas/time/toll.
My travel fees are currently waived for weddings booked in the SF Bay Area, CA.
Are you licensed/insured?
Yes, I am both licensed and insured. I can show proof of license and insurance to venues that require it.
