Question 1

What is your approach?

Accepted Answer

I aim to provide a sincere and enthusiastic experience to every wedding I shoot. I try to capture candid moments in a photo-journalistic style but when it's time to do your portraits I love to get creative and find exiting new ways to showcase and celebrate your love. I guarantee that my presence at your wedding will be comfortable and natural.

Question 2

Are there time restraints on your coverage?

Accepted Answer

Half day packages max out at 4 hours but for full day packages I like to be there for as long as you need me. I want to work around your schedule and I don't want you changing any plans to accommodate the photo coverage. I find that usually more coverage gives me more time to connect with the couple and produce better work!

Question 3

Where do you work?

Accepted Answer

I shoot anywhere in New England and I love to travel. I often find myself in the Pacific Northwest, Tampa Bay, the Washington DC area, and Los Angeles.

Question 4

Do you shoot destination weddings? Is there a travel fee?

Accepted Answer

I am available for travel anywhere! I will book all logistics for myself, and any additional photographers that you require. My fees are the same for local or destination weddings. Airfare and lodging are billed at cost without any markup, and everything else I'll take care of myself. I do not charge travel for weddings I can drive to.

Question 5

How many photos will we get?

Accepted Answer

Every wedding is different but I always deliver at least 75 images per hour of shooting. I find 700 images to be the sweet spot and the perfect amount to tell the full story of your day. I will shoot way more if wild things happen like if you dress up like vikings, are professional ballroom dancers, or if you have Thorgy from RuPaul's Drag Race perform, all of which have happened at my weddings.

Question 6

Do you offer print and distribution rights?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can order prints directly from me or print you own (my prints are pretty fantastic though) and you are free to share and distribute your photos anywhere (non-commercially).

Question 7

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

You bet

Question 8

Do you shoot weddings full time?

Accepted Answer

Oh yeah, I'm the luckiest guy in the world. I make a living taking pictures of cool people on the happiest day of their life. I shoot some weddings during the off season but I also spend that time hanging out with my kids, traveling, and working on personal photo-projects.

Question 9

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. If video is something you are really interested I recommend finding someone who is awesome and focused on video. There are so many amazing video artists who can do great things for you.

Question 10

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. All final images will be edited.

Question 11

What’s your back-up plan if you can’t photograph our wedding as planned?

Accepted Answer

In all myyears of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. If there was ever an event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.

Question 12

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

I aim to provide a handful of preview pictures within 48 hours of your wedding, usually 20-40 edited photos. This way you can see how things look and you can have something to share right away. The full collection will be delivered in about 3 weeks.

Question 13

We are concerned about Covid. what steps are you taking to stay safe?

Accepted Answer

I am fully vaxxed and boosted and throughout the pandemic I have diligently worn a mask for all indoor wedding events and will continue to until things get a little bit closer to normal.

Question 14

Are you comfortable photographing diverse weddings?

Accepted Answer

YES, I consider myself fortunate to have had the chance to photograph MANY different kind of weddings. I've shot amazing LGBTQ+ weddings, and ceremonies from all sorts of cultures and faiths. If your love for each other is genuine then I will be more than happy to work with you.
