FAQ

How long does it take to get our photos delivered?

Depending on the time of year it can take 3-6 weeks for your online gallery to be ready.

Do you have a recommended videographer?

Videography styles vary just as much as still photography does. I can recommend several videographers that my previous brides have been happy with.

What if our date changes?

If you need to change your date for any reason and as long as I am still available, you can apply everything you have paid to the new date.

1. Check Availability


When you fill out the online form I will check the date and call you back. It is best to set up an in person meeting to go over the details to ensure my style matches your vision.
