A: I first picked up a camera seriously when I was a teenager (35mm film days), and I fell in love with documenting moments and life's story as I traveled around with my family. But it wasn't until I moved to NYC in 2016 that I took it on as a full-time career. So, we're talking 7+ years now as a profession. Man, now I feel old. Haha!

A: I've photographed over 100 weddings as the lead photographer, and I've had over 500 portrait sessions. And since there's only 52 weekends in a year, my weekends have been basically filled with love stories and late-night celebrations ever since I became a photographer 7+ years ago!

A: The decision to hire a second shooter for your wedding photography is entirely up to you and depends on your budget, photography needs, and personal preferences. Some couples prefer to have multiple photographers to capture more angles and moments throughout the day, while others are perfectly happy with a single photographer. Having a second shooter can be beneficial in many ways, such as capturing different perspectives during the ceremony, getting additional coverage during the reception, and allowing for more creative shots. However, if you have a smaller budget or prefer a more intimate photography experience, hiring a solo photographer can be just as wonderful. I am experienced in capturing beautiful and memorable moments on my own, and I will work with you to make sure all of your photography needs are met. Ultimately, the decision to hire a second shooter comes down to what is most important to you on your wedding day. If you would like to discuss your options further or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

A: That totally depends on your needs. You can use the photos for your save-the-dates, invitations, website registries, guest books, framed prints for your guest table, bar, and your house... and of course Facebook & Instagram! Plus, it's a way for you to get a little practice in front of the camera before your big day and it gives us an opportunity to get to know each other. :) Personally, I highly recommend it. And heck, it's also a really great way to add to your experience as an engaged couple. Make the most of it! 

A: This might start getting a bit technical, but I personally use a Canon R5 and R6 with prime lenses. Both are literally on me at all times throughout your wedding day so I never have to worry about changing lenses, switching memory cards, or changing batteries. Every moment matters - and this is where the 7+ years of experience really kicks in.

A: Totally! But I want you feeling 1,000% comfortable and excited about the quality of your photographs before placing orders on those. That way, you only order exactly what you want, when you want, and when you know with confidence that they are going to look amazing on your walls and in your fine art heirloom albums. And all of this is done & ordered right through your online gallery! 

A: Yes, I do! Traditional payments are 50% due at the time of booking (within a week) and the final 50% is due 30 days prior to your wedding day. But, if you wanted to do the payment plan, I can stretch it into equal 1/3's or 1/4's if that works best for you. Just let me know what you prefer, and I will make it happen. It's that easy.

In the super unlikely event that I am too ill, injured, or there's some other emergency, either I or my fiance have a list of colleagues that we can call on to replace me that have similar styles of photography & editing. That said, in the 7+ years I've been doing this full-time, I have never even been 60 seconds late. You're in good hands. I promise.

A: Love that question the most! To book me for your special day, simply let me know what you want included in your custom collection: 1) Number of hours of coverage, 2) Engagement session (optional), 3) Second photographer or none (optional), and 4) What payment plan option works best for you.
