For weddings with all locations (prep, ceremony, bridal portraits, and reception) close by or on one site, 8-9 hours of coverage is typically sufficient to document the entire day, from getting ready to the dance floor.
However, if you have travel between your wedding locations, additional hours may be necessary. We can work with you to find the right balance of coverage to ensure all of the important moments are documented.
-
Your photos will be delivered via an online gallery system, which will be available for one year. You can download in full resolution any time from any where.
-
Turnaround time is between 8-10 weeks after the wedding day.
-
Kindly refrain from sending us your Pinterest and Inspiration Boards.
While these tools are helpful for early planning to collect images you admire, it's crucial to identify the photography style that aligns best with your wedding vision.
After deciding on your preferred style, actively seek a photographer whose portfolio consistently reflects that style.
Once you've made your choice, entrust and support your selected photographer to beautifully capture your special day.
-
Unfortunately no, we do not provide retouching services. We firmly believe in capturing the true essence of your wedding day without any alterations.
Our goal is to authentically portray who you are in the present moment, and we want you to embrace and appreciate yourself just as you are.
While we don't offer retouching, we highly recommend investing in professional hair and makeup to enhance your natural beauty and ensure you look and feel your best on your special day.
-
We would love to be a part of your special day and understand that securing your preferred date is crucial.
Operating on a first-come, first-serve basis, means that we cannot guarantee the availability of your preferred date until we receive a signed contract and a non-refundable retainer.
Once we have received both, your date will be secured.
We encourage you to book as early as possible to ensure that we are available on your wedding day.
-
Firstly, contact us to check our availability for your wedding date.
If we're available, we'll send you our pricing guide. Once you have decided on a collection, we will send you a contract to sign and our non-refundable retainer of $1500 will be required to secure your booking.
The remaining balance will be due one month prior to your wedding date.

“Raquelle and James, we knew every single photo would be amazing but you have still far exceeded our expectations. Every moment was captured perfectly, bringing tears to our eyes. From our engagement shoot, you've been like cherished friends we'll treasure for life. We're even considering another "engagement" just for another fun shoot with you! Your seamless presence on our wedding day amazed us and our guests - many didn't even notice you capturing those perfect moments. Your ability to blend in and capture everything is simply incredible. We will see you again no doubt because it isn’t possible to go a lifetime without your love and perfectly captured moments. Lots of Love”
