-
For regular sessions, the turnaround time is typically 2-4 weeks, and for weddings, it’s 8-10 weeks. I always aim to complete your photos as quickly as possible, but during busy seasons, the full time frame may be needed. Thank you for your patience!
-
Your retainer is 20% of the session fee and is due upon signing the contract to reserve your date in my calendar. The remaining balance is due either before your session or one month prior to your wedding.
-
You can expect to receive at least 55 hand-edited images per hour of coverage. After your wedding or session, I’ll review and remove any images that aren’t suitable (such as blurry or unflattering shots) and will edit and deliver the best ones to you!
-
Neutral colors like white, beige, ivory, cognac, navy, and black work beautifully for photos. If you prefer to wear color, I recommend opting for more muted tones—please avoid neon colors. Coordinating outfits using shades from the same color palette always works well. Remember, outfits that complement each other are often better than everyone wearing the same thing. If you're unsure about your choices, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to help you plan your outfits before your session! :)

Yes, I do! I charge $0.50 per mile for travel outside a 30-mile radius from Naugatuck, CT. For locations outside of Connecticut, a custom travel fee will be applied, which covers mileage, airfare, and accommodation costs.

Payments for all sessions are processed securely through HoneyBook. You can also choose to pay via Venmo, cash, or check if you prefer.
-
No, I don't send any unedited or raw files. Most of the magic happens during the editing process, so your photos aren't truly finished until they've gone through that step!

While it's completely up to you, I highly recommend having an engagement session for a few reasons! First, my photography style really shines when we’ve had a chance to connect. An engagement session is a perfect opportunity for us to spend time together before your wedding day. It also helps you get comfortable in front of the camera—practice definitely makes perfect! It's totally normal to feel a bit nervous or awkward if you're not used to having photos taken, but by the time your wedding day arrives, you'll feel like pros!
-
While I’m confident in my ability to capture your wedding solo, I do recommend a second photographer for larger weddings. A second shooter offers an additional perspective and provides alternative angles of key moments throughout the day. We can discuss this option in more detail during a consultation call!
-
We all know the weather can be unpredictable! On the day of your session, I’ll stay in touch with you, and we’ll assess whether the weather will cooperate. If not, we’ll reschedule to the soonest available date.
