FAQ
What can we expect?
A fun day most importantly! It's your wedding after all and I am there to contribute in the best way possible. I will guide you when necessary and required, most of the time however I will observe and document what I see to capture everything in a true to life style that's light with natural colors.
How many pictures will we get?
I can't give you an exact number because every wedding is different - and what's the point of promising you a specific number to then just deliver almost identical images of the same scene to hit that number. As a rule of thumb, for every hour of coverage I'll deliver something in the ballpark of 50 - 80 edited pictures in your personal and password protected online gallery.
How quickly will we get the pictures delivered?
From the wedding day to the gallery delivery it won't take longer than five weeks - and you get a sneak peak within 48 hours. The gallery will be online and available for one year after your wedding date.
What can we do with the pictures?
Enjoy them with your friends, with your family and anyone else you feel like through social media or prints - there is no necessity to purchase additional rights to be able to do that and you also don't have to order through me for wall art you want to hang. The pictures don't have a watermark and you can download them all. Single pictures or the entire gallery, that is your choice. I am however asking you to refrain from adding filters to the pictures when sharing on social media or altering them in any other way other than the necessary cropping for the platform of your choice.
How does the process of booking with you work?
Step one is to let me know you are interested in working with me and ideally include the date and location in that inquiry.
If I have an availability for your desired date we will setup a video call to chat and get to know each other. That allows me to learn about your story and ask the first questions in order to prepare. We will go over the different packages I offer and after the call I will customize them for you with what I learned in the call and send you a quote.
Once the quote is accepted you will receive my wedding contract and an invoice for the retainer and remaining balance. Now is the time to ask any questions about the clauses in the contract and - after a satisfying explanation - sign and pay the retainer. That is when we are officially official.
Do you recommend a first look?
I absolutely do. Never will your emotions be as authentic and pure as in those first few seconds when seeing your partner for the first time all dressed up for you. It also allows me to take the first portraits of you, allowing us to get creative with the other opportunities.
That being said, it is absolutely your choice if you want a first look and if you opt not to, you will still get beautiful portraits from your wedding day - just not as many and from fewer locations.
What if we feel super awkward in front of a camera?
I feel you. For most people it is an unnatural situation to be the center of attention and having someone follow you around all day. But trust me, it won't take long for you to feel more relaxed - that's part of my job, too. Just think of it this way: You're getting to spend a day with the love of your life and incredible pictures to look back at. We will have fun together.
Can we meet you?
Yes! Come your wedding day I want us to no longer feel like strangers. At least twice before the big day we chat in person or via video call. I want to get to know you and I want you to feel like you know me, too.
