Logistics & FAQ

  1. What's my approach?

    I got into photography because I liked hearing the story behind the pictures, and your wedding day is no different. I'm there to document what happens for you, so that years later you can use my photos to remember the visual as well as emotional memory of your day. That means for the majority of the day, I'm very hands off, focusing on finding the right images that tell a full story. You'll find me in the right place at the right time to get the best pictures, without needing you to feel like you're posing articially.

    During portraits, it's a little different. A lot of people are understandably nervous having their photo taken, so I give plenty of direction, good humor, and a fair amount of clumsiness to the fore to help set everyone at ease. Though I'm directing you, my intention is to create images that feel natural and authentic to you, with a little splash of creativity to make them even more unique.

    If you're nervous about being photographed on your wedding day, but are also someone who appreciates creative imagery, we'll be a perfect fit.

  2. What are the deliverables?

    You get all the edited files in high resolution JPEG format. Easily downloadable with no watermarks via an online gallery. Take a look at the full sample galleries below to get an idea about what those look like.

  3. Do I need a shotlist?

    About 1.5 months before your wedding I'll send you a questionnnaire asking you for everything I need to know about your wedding day. Included in there is the only shot list I specifically ask for, which are the groupings for family photos. If there are specific photos / priorities that you have, feel free to let me know as well and I'd be happy to keep those in mind.

  4. What are the costs for travel?

    Travel costs only apply with locations that require a flight or that are over 3 hours away from NYC. Destination weddings will be customized depending on the specifics of your location, however it’s generally 2 nights hotel and round trip flight out of the easiest airport.

  5. How does the deposit work?

    Half of the quoted package is a non refundable deposit to own the date. I have a policy of booking with whoever first submits their contract and pays the retainer for an inquired date.

  6. How do we book?

    After we’ve talked about which package works best for your wedding I’ll send along a formal proposal with the contract and payment information in a custom online portal.

  7. What are your albums like?

    I'm glad you asked! I love the feel of a good album; each one is handmade, uses archival quality ink / paper, and will last for decades with no appreciable loss in image quality.
