Frequently Asked Questions

What services do you offer?

My wedding day packages are based upon the number of hours needed. I don’t want to sell you more hours than necessary, but I also don’t want to rush your day. Usually meeting with or calling me can help you determine how much time is needed. I also offer portrait sessions: engagement, trash the dress, day-after, or anytime for couples.

What products do you offer?

Additional products include image discs, greeting cards, guest books, proof books, parent and mini books, clones of books, and reprints. All products are best viewed in person. Call or e-mail to set up a meeting.

Are your available for travel?

I live in Los Angeles, California, but am available worldwide. The only thing I love more than weddings is traveling! I’ve shot weddings in Jamaica, Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, & Colorado! All expenses, including airfare, hotel, ground transportation, and per diem are additional.

What can I expect from a portrait session?

Couples sessions (engagement, day after, trash the dress, or anytime sessions) take place at a location of your choice or I are more than happy to suggest a hot spot to you! You should expect to allow 1-2 hours for your shoot. Included in your session is online proofing for 60 days. Additional reprints and guest books are optional extras.

What are your albums like?

An alternative to the traditional wedding album, my books can be tailor made to suit any occasion. They are custom-designed using your favorite photographs in a natural progression that best tells the story of your day. I design books in a flush style with merely a fold down the gutter, taking advantage of the least intrusive means possible for your spreads. The books feature fine art matte archival pages, a choice of faux leather, suede, silk, or linen covers, are hand-bound, and guaranteed for life. They come in 8×8 or 10×10 inch sizes and include 40 pages.

I also offer the classic matted album. Each photo is hand-inserted separately into each frame, coated for archival, and matted into the book for a timeless feel. The book is offered in 8×8 or 10×10 with a classic black faux leather cover and include 20 pages. Guest books are also an alternative to the traditional lined book for signatures. This custom 20-page 8×8 book contains the couple’s favorite engagement photos. This not only allows guests to view your engagement session, but it also provides a fun place for them to write a special message to you.

What equipment do you use?

I shoot with professional Canon digital equipment, enabling me to provide my clients with an unlimited number of images that can be printed in color, black and white, or sepia. I also use a variety of funky film cameras to provide more artistic options as well.
