Question 1

What is it like to work with you on a wedding day?

Accepted Answer

I am there to help capture your day while also doing my part to keep us on time, according to the timeline, maintaining communication, and creating a stree-free environment. Sometimes it is helping the groomsmen put on boutonnieres, helping organize a last-minute special first look with a military cousin who is surprising you at your wedding, or grabbing those extra shots of the bride dancing with grandma (who they didn't think would be there).

Question 2

What can we expect from our experience with you?

Accepted Answer

I strive to provide clear, fast communication; easy-going and fun directions for posing; and quick delivery of final edited images.

Question 3

What is the benefit of booking with you for both photo & video?

Accepted Answer

First, you get an experienced team who know how to do both photo and video. A team who sometimes know what each other is thinking without having to say a word.
Second, booking both services double the coverage you will receive while also providing different mediums. Video goes beyond photo to combine movement and audio into what otherwise would be a photo. The best parts for video are: first look (if you do one), the ceremony, and toasts. There are also little moments that can be added into your video like letter reading, gifts, sunset, drone, etc.

Question 4

Do you do drone work?

Accepted Answer

As of September 2021, I am adding drone to my offerings. I have completed the FAA certification and look forward to creating special shots using my Mavic Air 2.

Question 5

What education have you invested in to hone your craft?

Accepted Answer

When I decided to upgrade cameras, I started with a class specifically on the ins and outs of that camera. Then I expanded into posing and lighting classes by Amy and Jordan Demos and Katelyn James. I've also taken classes relating to family photography, boudoir, and running a business. Currently, I am studying videography and drone as well.

Question 6

How would you describe your editing style?

Accepted Answer

My editing style is vivid, true to color. I love nature colors so I don't want to mute or distort the true to life color that was there that day. Yes, I do turn a few edits into black and white for a classic, timeless look.
