the experience

HOW MANY IMAGES WILL I RECEIVE?

Couple/Engagement/Lifestyle sessions are promised anywhere from 10-40+ images based on which package you choose. Weddings yield SOOOOO many images. Every wedding is unique in the different opportunities, so each gallery will have a different amount. I usually yield anywhere from 300-800 images on wedding galleries though!

Can we have the raw images?

No. I do not give out raw images, as they do not represent the finished product, in which I am incredibly proud of. If you do not like the style of editing you see on my site, you most likely will not like your images. I do not change my editing style, and have worked really hard to nail down the style I love full heartedly. 

WHAT ARE YOUR TRAVEL FEES?

For weddings in South Carolina, I do not charge a travel fee. If your wedding is outside of South Carolina, travel fees will be calculated based on the federal rate of $.67/mile and the cost of lodging. Airfare is also calculated in if it's a far away destination wedding. 

For sessions, I only charge a travel fee if the session is outside 40 miles of Columbia, SC. The travel fee is calculated using the federal rate of $.67/mile. 

WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE TO CANCEL?

I get it! Life happens and people get sick or things happen unexpectedly. I do appreciate at least a 24 hour heads up if possible for sessions. Sessions can be rescheduled twice, but is at the will of my availability. If you unfortunately have to cancel your wedding, your non-refundable retainer will not be returned to cover lost wages and any session (engagement/bridals) that only comes with a package. However any payments aside from the retainer will be returned. 

WHAT IF THERE'S BAD WEATHER?

SC has the craziest weather and is so unpredictable most days...lol. I usually will reschedule sessions on days when weather is being a little mean. If its just a small drizzle and you don't mind getting a teeny bit wet, then I am alllll game. Everyone likes kissing in the rain right??

WHAT IS YOUR WEDDING EXPERIENCE LIKE?

It's pretty awesome + seamless! Once you submit your inquiry form, I will send you my investment guide to your email address. We will schedule a phone consultation to talk about your wedding day dreams and the booking process. After that, you and your fiance can choose the package that best fits your needs and desires. Once you choose your ideal package, I will send over a proposal with the contract and invoice and once those items come back, you are booked! You will receive my wedding guide and we will get your engagement session scheduled. On your wedding day I photograph it all! The moments with your bridesmaid squad, the snuggles with your mom as she buttons the last button on your dress, the first look with your soon to be hubby, the vows, the first kiss, hugging your grandmama, the first dance, I get it all! 24-48 hours after your wedding day, you will receive a sneak peek gallery of images from your wedding day. Then, 6-8 weeks after your wedding (I try to get them back sooner!), you will recieve your full wedding gallery!!

Will you help me in the planning process?

I will help you as much or as little as you want me to in your planning process! I am a natural planner and love details, so I would be thrilled to help you in your search for vendors; I will also help you along the process of creating your photography timeline. I know how stressful all the different aspects of the wedding day can be, so my goal is to help alleviate some of that stress on you! 

what is your turn-around time?

For portrait sessions of any type, engagement, seniors, maternity, lifestyle, etc. the turn-around time is 2-4 weeks from the shoot date. For wedding sneak peek galleries, you can plan to have that in your email inbox within 24-48 hours of the wedding day. The full wedding gallery will be delivered within 6-8 week of the wedding date. 

WHAT IS A SECOND SHOOTER?

A second shooter is someone who assists me in photographing your wedding day. Let's say the bridal party is getting ready at a separate location than the groomsmen. It would be difficult for me to photograph both by myself when they are in different locations. That's where my second shooter will save the day! Second shooters are also amazing to have to document the sweet in-between moments as well! Definitely consider a second shooter for your wedding day package!

HOW FAR WILL YOU TRAVEL?

I will literally travel to the ends of the earth for you! Travel and adventure is my middle name, so you name where you wanna go and I will meet you there!!
