Frequently Asked Questions

 

How would you describe your photography style?

A thoughtful blend of documentary storytelling and editorial artistry. I'm drawn to beautiful light, intentional compositions, genuine connection, and the little details that give a celebration its character. My approach balances artistic direction with the freedom for moments to unfold naturally.

Will you guide us during portraits?

Absolutely. You don't need to know what to do in front of a camera. I'll offer direction when it's needed, while leaving plenty of room for natural movement and interaction. Think gentle guidance rather than stiff poses.

Can we share inspiration or a creative vision with you?

Of course! I love learning what inspires my clients, whether that's fashion, architecture, art, or particular photographic styles. Inspiration helps me understand your taste, while allowing me the creative freedom to make something original.

How many photographs will we receive?

You can anticipate approximately 50 edited images per hour of coverage. Final gallery sizes vary depending on the events, timeline, and natural flow of your celebration. I prioritize a thoughtfully curated collection over delivering images simply to reach a number.

When will we receive our finished gallery?

Wedding galleries are typically delivered within 4–6 weeks during regular season and approximately 6–8 weeks during high-volume season. These are estimated timeframes and may vary depending on my editing schedule and seasonal workload.

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 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 expenses are not included in collection pricing. However, travel within 60 miles of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is complimentary. Locations beyond this radius are subject to a mileage fee of $0.67 per mile, with additional accommodations required when overnight travel is necessary.

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.
