FAQ

  • My answer is anywhere, any time. I’m based in Atlanta but I can travel anywhere! I keep travel rates as low as possible and try to be as transparent and I can with my couples. Just let me know what you’re envisioning and we can make it happen!

    I offer discounted (and sometimes free) travel to the following locations: Washington DC, New York NY, Los Angeles CA, and Hawaii.

  • You totally can but then you’d be missing out on all the magic that I can create for you! ;)

    So, what sets me apart from other photographers, you ask? Well, first off, I'm all about capturing the unique essence of each couple I work with. No cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approach here! I want your photos to truly reflect your love story and showcase what makes you both so special.

    But it's not just about the photos, it's about the experience too. I want you to feel like you're hanging out with a friend who also happens to take pictures. My approach is all about creating a relaxed, fun atmosphere where you can be yourselves and enjoy the moment.

    And trust me, I take your big day seriously. I put my heart and soul into my work, and my dedication shines through in every shot. So, let’s grab a coffee (virtual or not) and see if we’re a good fit!

  • Nope! I’m a Creative Director/Design Manager at Microsoft by day and a Photographer by [whatever free time I have]. I absolutely love being a storyteller and artist who can capture your unique stories!

    I also offer design and branding services so get in touch to see how I can bring your vision to life!

  • You always get an engagement session with me but the rest is totally up to you! Options range for different hours of coverage so we can add more photographers, albums, etc. I’ll create the most perfect package for you so much let me know what you need!

  • Every wedding and story is unique and so are my packages! While my packages are a starting point, I do take the time to refine them with my couple based on what they need.

  • Of course! My main priority is making you feel at ease and comfortable during our time together. Don't worry if you've never had professional pictures taken before, because most couples I work with are in the same boat! My approach is less about stiff poses and more about capturing those candid, genuine moments between you and your partner. Instead of saying "stand here and look here," I'll give you little prompts or ideas to help bring out your natural chemistry and create those sweet, romantic moments that you'll cherish forever.

    Sure, we'll make sure to get some traditional shots that you can share with the family, but my goal is to capture the essence of your relationship and personalities in a way that feels authentic and true to you. With your engagement session in particular, I want you to feel like you're on a fun, relaxed date with your significant other, with me there as your third wheel capturing all the love and laughter. So don't worry about feeling awkward or unsure - just come ready to have a good time and let me handle the rest!

  • Oh 100%. I have been shooting weddings for many years and have come to anticipate all things that go right and wrong in a day. I will work with you to make sure we have enough time to take photos and for y’all to just chill before your big moments so that nothing feels rushed!

  • You will get sneak peeks within the first two weeks of your big day! If you’re just doing an engagement shoot with me, I tend to deliver those within the first couple of weeks of shooting with a preview even sooner than that!


    My turnaround time for full galleries is about 6-10 weeks.


    I never put a limit on the amount of pictures that I deliver. Putting a limit to someone’s story is just not something I believe in and stand by. This is something that sets me a part from a lot of photographers who do tend to limit what they deliver. I always try to focus on telling your story in the most authentic and creative way and trust me, I capture all of your moments.

    I’m happy to send you a full gallery to view so you get an idea of all the images that I deliver! Just get in touch. :)

  • I do not but I always send my clients to trusted videographer friends that I have worked with! Depending on the vibe and style you’re looking for, I’m happy to make recommendations for incredible storytellers!

  • Yes!! Generally my clients pay 50% at the signing of the contract and then the remaining two weeks before their event. I am also happy to split the payments up monthly or in whatever way that works for you!

  • Yes! Usually it’s my husband who is also a talented photographer but when he’s not available, I have a group of people I love to work with on a rotating basis.

  • Canon has my heart and soul so I shoot with all things Canon! I also have flashes and lights for any situation whether your event is indoors or outdoors. And yes, I have backups of backups! I have backup camera bodies, lenses, memory cards, computers, file storage - I have two (or more) of everything.

  • Absolutely!! Just fill out the intake and I’ll send some galleries that I think will fit what you’re looking for.
