Frequently Asked Questions

  • Most couples book 8–14 months in advance, especially for popular spring and fall dates in the Fredericksburg and Northern Virginia area. If you’re planning a shorter engagement, don’t worry, reach out and I’ll check availability.

  • Your date is officially reserved once the contract is signed and the 30% retainer is paid. Until then, dates remain open and may be booked by another couple.

  • Most weddings work best with 8–10 hours of coverage. This usually allows time to capture getting ready, first look or private vows, ceremony, family and couple portraits, and reception moments and dancing. If you're planning a full send-off or a longer reception, 10 hours typically provides the most relaxed timeline.

  • Yes! Timeline planning is included with every wedding collection. I help couples build a photography timeline that keeps the day relaxed and ensures there is enough time for portraits, family photos, and natural moments throughout the day.

  • Absolutely. I photograph weddings throughout Fredericksburg, Richmond, Northern Virginia, and Washington DC, and I’m always happy to travel for destination weddings as well. Travel fees may apply for weddings outside of this area.

  • Most couples receive 600–900+ fully edited images depending on the length of coverage and the pace of the day. Every delivered image is carefully edited in my true-to-life, film-inspired style.

  • Your full gallery is delivered within approximately 6 weeks of your wedding. I also enjoy sending a small preview shortly after the wedding!

  • Your images are delivered in a private online gallery where you can download high-resolution images, share the gallery with family and friends, and order professional prints and albums. There are no download limits.

  • No, RAW files are not delivered. Every image in your gallery is carefully selected and edited to reflect the final style and quality of my work.

  • Yes, most venues require each vendor working there to carry their own liability insurance. I provide a Certificate of Insurance upon request.

  • Yes. Professional prints and heirloom albums are available directly through your gallery. My full day collection includes a handcrafted layflat wedding album.

  • My approach is documentary-inspired and natural. Rather than making the day feel like a production, I focus on capturing real moments as they happen while keeping portraits relaxed and simple. The goal is a gallery that feels honest, timeless, and true to your day.
