We typically add travel fees on to any wedding outside of a 60 mile radius from San Francisco, CA. Fees vary depending on location so ask us for more details.
WHEN DO YOU CHARGE TRAVEL FEES?
Galleries typically include anywhere between 600 to 1000 photos. The exact amount varies from wedding to wedding. Your online gallery will come loaded with fully edited high resolution images you can print anywhere
HOW MANY PHOTOS ARE TYPICALLY INCLUDED AND CAN WE PRINT THE PHOTOS OURSELVES?
Fantastic! To reserve your wedding date, we’ll need a completed contract and a $1,000 non-refundable retainer fee. If you don’t have a contract yet, just let us know and we’ll send one over! The remaining balance will be due 30 days before the wedding.
WE LOVE YOUR WORK AND WE’RE READY TO BOOK!WHAT’S THE NEXT STEP?
We have shot in the darkest of dark chapels and reception halls so no need to worry! If the situation allows, we will set up additional lighting to ensure we get focused pictures. Some chapels do not allow for flash photography; and for that reason, we shoot on camera’s with superb low-light performance and lenses with low apertures letting us capture even on the darkest area.
MY VENUE IS VERY DARK. HOW DOES YOUR STUDIO HANDLE THESE SITUATIONS AND CAN I SEE SAMPLES?
Yes we do. Every image we deliver is post produced with our unique signature style of post-production. This involves color correction, exposure adjustment, selective black and white processing, clarity adjustments, tone-mapping, and other corrections.
DO YOU TOUCH UP ALL THE IMAGES IN OUr GALLERY?
Absolutely! I carry a $2,000,000 liability policy which protects myself and my clients. Most venues will require a Certificate of Insurance be delivered, so I highly recommend you check with any photographer/vendor if they are insured
Do you have an insurance
We currently shoot with digital cameras, however, our signature style is based off of film and we work hard to ensure our photographs captures the timeless colors and feel of classic film photographs.
do you shoot film
Yes! We are very proud on every work we produce and deliver so you are more than welcome to request no matter how many full galleries you would like. To ensure you get the right quality of photos you have in mind for your wedding

Frequently asked questions
The day is here, you’ve been planning and prepping for months. We’ve created a timeline that has an emphasis on the things you value. Today will be filled with laughs and experiences you’ll remember for the rest of your life.
The goal is to create natural looking relaxed images filled with authentic emotion. We’ll laugh together, and end the day with champagne.
YOUR WEDDING
05
Without plans weddings are stress but with careful planning and consideration of the things you value as a couple, the day feels easier and more free. The timeline will be custom to you, but will also take humanity into account. In other words, you’ll have enough time built into the day to reduce stress and account for things to go off schedule a bit here and there.
Just a few months before the wedding day, I’ll send you a questionnaire asking you for family groupings, vendor details, and about any special things you have planned. I’ll follow up with a phone call to catch up and review the flow of the day.
Final planing for the best photographs
04
The engagement session is something you should both look forward to. It’s a casual guided experience that feels like a date you have always wanted to go on.
I’ll help you with outfit choices, talk over locations, and use this time to get you used to my posing style and prompts. You’ll leave feeling closer to each other. This will feel like a breathe of fresh air and relaxation in the middle of planning.
