Frequently Asked Questions
Are you available for my wedding?
Please, check my calendar below!
How soon in advance should I book you for my wedding?
To guarantee your date: the sooner the better!
How many images do you deliver?
I typically shoot 200 images an hour and try to deliver as many of those as I can. I cull out test shots, misfires and anything else that doesn't quite turn out but the rest are yours. I select the best of the best for micro galleries and each of those images are professionally edited and enhanced by me. For engagements and portraits I deliver between 100 - 150 images per session. All images are delivered to you in an online gallery where you can order prints for easy gifting, download and share images to all your socials.
How long does it take to get my images?
My turnaround time is usually about 4 - 6 weeks except during peak wedding season (June - September) and then It's closer to 8-12 weeks. I do however, send out a sneak peak a week or so after the wedding so you have something to share. For engagements and portraits, my turnaround time is 2 - 4 weeks.
Do you have a second shooter with you on wedding day?
If you book one, YES! (Which I highly recommend). Otherwise, it'll just be (and an assistant on occasion).
Do you also shoot video?
My specialty lies in still photography. However, I've worked with some of the best in the industry and have met a couple who I am happy to recommend.
What areas do you service?
I mostly shoot in the Salem and Portland area. But I do travel up and down I-5 from Southern Washington down to Southern Oregon, the coast and into the Columbia River Gorge and Central Oregon.
Do you charge travel fees?
Any event address more than 120mi round trip from my home address is subject to a travel fee of $0.75/mile. Lodging for one night must be provided for any event requiring more than 3 hours of drive time one way as well as an additional $500 overnight fee.
None of your packages have exactly what I need. Will you customize one for me?
Absolutely! Use the contact form to send me a message and tell me what you need.
I'm interested in booking you but I'd like to meet you first. Can we do that?

Do you require a deposit?
Yes! For weddings I require a $1,000 nonrefundable deposit when you sign your contract.
when is my balance due?
Once your deposit has been paid you have the freedom to pay the balance when and however you like but is due in full 30 days prior to your event.
Are you insured?
