I recommend scheduling your engagement session about 6–9 months before your wedding day, or before sending out your save-the-dates. This allows plenty of time for planning, editing, and using the images in your wedding materials.

Absolutely! I love incorporating pets into engagement sessions—they’re part of the family, after all. If you bring your furry friend, it’s helpful to have someone join us who’s comfortable handling them. That way, your pet is well cared for during the moments they’re not in photos.

The sooner, the better! Completing your online timeline about one month before the wedding gives us time to review everything together and make any adjustments. I’ll also follow up one week before the wedding to confirm there haven’t been any last-minute changes to your schedule.

I recommend completing this about two months before your wedding date—ideally before working on your timeline. This helps me estimate how much time we’ll need for family and wedding party photos. Submitting it early allows us to review it together and make any necessary tweaks.

Email is the best way to reach me during the planning process so I can keep all details organized in one place. Texts or phone calls are totally fine for urgent matters or day-of communication.

A second shooter can be added for $500, and they can stay for up to 10 hours of coverage. Having a second shooter allows us to capture more angles and candid moments throughout your day.

Absolutely! I carry full coverage and can provide proof of insurance upon request. You can also download my insurance documentation in the “Tasks & Resources” section above if your venue requires a copy.

I like to arrive about one hour before my official start time. This gives me time to walk the venue, gather your detail items, introduce myself to your vendor team, and prepare my gear before coverage begins.

They’re welcome to take photos as long as it doesn’t interfere with our flow or block key shots. My focus is on keeping the day running smoothly and ensuring every important moment is captured beautifully. If anyone begins directing poses or stepping into my shooting space, I’ll kindly but firmly step in and take control so we can stay on track and maintain consistency in your final gallery.

The day after your wedding, I’ll send a few sneak peeks—usually including your ceremony kiss, ceremony exit, and a handful of romantic portraits of the two of you.

Your full preview gallery (featuring 100+ images that highlight your entire day) will be delivered within 1–2 weeks via an online gallery.

Your online gallery never expires—you’ll always have access to your images whenever you’d like to revisit or download them.

You’re welcome to order an album anytime. Once you’ve created a “Favorites” list in your online gallery, we’ll schedule a Zoom call to design your album together. During the call, we’ll discuss album size, cover material and color, title design, and presentation box options. After that, I’ll assemble your album proof and share it for review before production. Most album orders ship within 7 business days once finalized.

Of course! Parent albums make wonderful gifts for the holidays or anniversaries. They can be customized or made as duplicate copies of your main wedding album.
