frequently asked questions

Generally speaking, getting a photographer as soon as you decide to go forward with a wedding is best practice. Weddings and Elopements tend to be done in the same seasons, so photographers get booked out pretty quickly!

When you decide to move forward, I am going to send you a contract, and a quote for you to pick and choose what it is you would like for your Elopement. You’ll pay a retainer fee (half of the total) and the rest a month out from the day.

Absolutely I can! When you get me, you’re getting access to my insight from my years of doing this professionally. You don’t have to plan for this day by yourself. I encourage and plan to be part of the planning process from start to finish.

In the contract you’ll sign, the declared turnaround time is 3 months. Due to the general timeline of weddings and where we are in the season, sometimes it can take that full 3 months. Rest assured, I am working to get them to you ASAP.

Hell yes! Second shooters really maximize your coverage. If details matter to you, and you want photos of your friends and family during cocktail hour, a second shooter is clutch. They’ll capture all those moments you’d miss while you’re busy with me doing formal portraits, and you’ll get multiple angles of the same big moments—like your first kiss from two perspectives.

For intimate, low-key celebrations? Probably not necessary. It really depends on what photos will actually matter to you years from now.
