THE FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

 
 

01.  WHAT IS YOUR STYLE AND APPROACH TO PHOTOGRAPHING WEDDINGS?

I photograph weddings with a fine art documentary style and approach. Editorial and photo journalistic sensibilities are combined to document your day as it unfolds. My approach to each wedding is always the same: to capture the perfectly unique narrative of what personifies you as a couple, while making sure that your story is told in an elegant, natural, and tasteful way. 

02. WHERE ARE YOU BASED?

I call a suburb of Indianapolis, USA, home, yet I'm ready to journey wherever your wedding dreams may lead. My lens has captured the beauty of weddings across the Midwest, amidst the majestic landscapes of Colorado, and even as far-flung as the vibrant cityscape of Hong Kong. With a childhood split between Latin America and the UK, and extensive time spent in mainland China and Hong Kong, I'm well-versed in diverse cultures and landscapes, ensuring I'm fully prepared to document your wedding day, no matter the destination.

03.  HOW IS TRAVEL HANDLED FOR DESTINATION WEDDINGS?

Each destination wedding is a one-of-a-kind experience. While travel and accommodation expenses are not included in photography collections, rest assured, I take care of all the logistics, from booking airfare to arranging accommodations and transportation. With this taken care of, you can focus on enjoying your special day stress-free. Feel free to reach out to me for further information on personalized travel collections tailored to your needs.

04.  DO I REECEIVE COPYRIGHTS TO THE PHOTOS?

While I, as the photographer, retain full copyright of the photos captured on your wedding day, you will receive printing rights. This grants you the freedom to print and share the photos online according to your preferences.

05.  DO YOU EDIT ALL OF YOUR PHOTOS YOURSELF?

Absolutely, every image captured on your wedding day undergoes personal proofing and editing by me. I handle this process directly, without outsourcing to a third-party editing service or lab. This approach preserves the integrity of my vision as a photographer and guarantees that each image is carefully selected and edited with meticulous attention to detail.

06.  HOW SOON AFTER THE WEDDING WILL WE GET OUR PHOTOS?

Typically, you can expect your fully edited wedding photos within 6-8 weeks after your special day. I firmly believe in dedicating ample time to the editing process to ensure each image receives the attention and care it deserves. Just as you invested significant time and resources into your wedding day, I'm committed to delivering images of the highest quality that reflect the importance of your cherished memories.

07.  HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL I RECEIVE?

While there's no fixed quantity, a typical guideline is to expect 60-80 meticulously edited high-resolution photos per hour of coverage. I prioritize quality over quantity, handpicking each frame for its emotional resonance, aesthetic beauty, or exceptional composition. The actual number of images delivered may vary based on factors such as the duration of your wedding, the number of locations, and the size of the guest list, ensuring that every couple receives a personalized collection that truly captures the essence of their special day.

08. CAN WE ORDER PRINTS AND ALBUMS THROUGH YOU?

Certainly! Albums and prints are meticulously sourced from top-tier professional printing labs, designed to stand the test of time and be cherished for generations. I strongly advocate for the tangible experience of owning physical prints and albums as a means of reliving, sharing, and preserving the precious memories of your wedding day—a sentiment that transcends the digital realm.
