Frequently Asked Questions

 

DO YOU REQUIRE A RETAINER TO BOOK?

Yes. A non-refundable 30% retainer and signed contract are required to officially reserve your wedding date. The remaining balance is due two weeks before your wedding date.

ARE THE TRAVEL EXPENSES INCLUDED IN YOUR collections OR COVERED ADDITIONALLY?

Travel within Louisiana is included for my pre-designed photography and videography wedding collections. For all other services, travel within 60 miles of Baton Rouge is included, with additional mileage billed at $0.67 per mile. Lodging may also be required for services outside of my pre-designed photography and videography wedding collections when overnight travel is necessary.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE WEATHER IS UNFAVOURABLE FOR OUR OUTDOOR SESSION?

If weather conditions are unfavorable, I adapt quickly and work with you to create an alternative plan that maintains the integrity of your session. This may include adjusting the timeline, shifting to a nearby covered or indoor location, or rescheduling when appropriate. My priority is to ensure you feel supported and confident, while still capturing images that align with the intended mood and experience.

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?

I recommend booking as soon as your date is secured, as availability is limited and dates are reserved on a first-come basis. Prime wedding seasons and weekend dates tend to book one year in advance.

DO YOU HELP WITH TIMELINE PLANNING?

Yes. I provide guidance on timelines and flow to ensure enough time is allocated for portraits, transitions, and natural moments. This helps the day feel unhurried while allowing space for genuine, well-paced imagery.

WILL WE NEED TO FOLLOW A STRICT PLAN OR SHOT LIST?

No. Closer to your wedding day, I’ll send over a questionnaire where you can share any specific moments, people, details, or photographs you’d like documented. I also provide a formal shot list for family and wedding party portraits so those photos stay organized and efficient, while the rest of the day can be documented more naturally.
