Answer:

We're gonna have a little date! This can be in person, over the phone, or on facetime. We will talk your wedding day timeline, things you want me to focus on, group picture lists, and anything else you're worried about.

Answer:

Shooting in rain or snow can produce some beautiful photos! I understand that's not everyone's vibe though. We will reschedule based on the safety concerns and if you're down to have a messy shoot!

Answer:

In order to secure your date, you will need to put down a 50% non-refundable retainer fee and sign my contract. This is to both protect me if there's a sudden cancellation, and to lock in your date + session

Answer:

No, I do not give RAW or unedited JPEG photos/files to clients.
RAW files are not universally compatible and require special software to even view them. Furthermore, RAW format captures data with the intent of processing and editing later to make a final image, and does not represent what is seen with the natural eye. I do not send unedited JPEG files either because they do not represent my work or brand, which is what you're hiring me based off of! They are simply an unfinished product. The main reason I get hired is because of my style and editing, which I care deeply about - thats where the real magic happens. Editing is just as much as an art as taking the actual photos is. Only completed, edited photos that are up to my standard are sent out into the world. I work very hard to deliver my images that stay true to my style and are the best representation of my brand and your session/wedding day. And don't worry, you won't be missing out on any moments from the day! Photos with eyes closed, duplicates, test shots, blurry images, etc are the only photos that will not make it into the final gallery.

Answer:

Leave the posing to me! I know posing in front of a camera can be nerve-wracking for people! I will take over on that and have you do a bunch of silly things to get those candid shots. 

Answer:

Very rarely. Every once in a while I might run a promotion, giveaway, or discounted sessions. If I don't personally reach out to you about shooting with me or you don't see one being advertised on my socials, there is not a discount happening and you won't receive one if you ask. 

Answer:

I don't offer body altering or anything in that realm because I believe that all bodies and people are beautiful the way they are. I believe that you should be presented in your truest form! I also do not offer face swapping on any images. Additionally, I do not add in people/pets/objects that are not already present in a photograph. As long as I have received the list of must have shots before your session or wedding, this should not be an issue! The only retouching I ever do are of temporary things like acne, hair ties, wrinkled clothes, distracting objects in backgrounds and foregrounds, etc.
