DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDINGS|ELOPEMENTS|ADVENTURE SESSIONS?
Who doesn’t love to travel? I certainly do, and excited to go anywhere! I’m from the a town called Kerrville in the Hill Country. But, the Dallas area has been home for several years now. My wedding seasons are split between Dallas, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Houston & New Mexico depending on time of year. If outside of those areas, I have a bucket list of places I want to travel & explore. So, YES I want to travel to where ever your exciting Destination Wedding / Elopement / Adventure Session is... I'm ready!
HOW CAN I SEE MORE OF YOUR PORTFOLIO?
Our website shows some of our favorite photos, but our INSTAGRAM has the latest and most recent projects we’ve worked on.
HOW ARE IMAGES DELIVERED AND WHEN?
Digital Wedding & Elopement galleries are created and available for a year in your own site. Your personal site also boasts an in-house store for ordering your prints that will be delivered in a beautiful boutique package, to your doorstep. All images will be delivered within 6 weeks of your wedding day.
REGARDING PRINTING, DO YOU HANDLE OR CAN WE? DO WE HAVE PRINTING RIGHTS TO OUR IMAGES?
Absolutely! These are your pictures, and you’re able to print whenever and however many you’d like. I will suggest printing companies because I still request that the photos to retain their quality. If you prefer that I handle the printing for convenience, I provide a la cart pricing for prints, albums, etc to include with your wedding package and all from your own in-house printing profile connected to you site.
CAN WE SPEAK BEFOREHAND?
Yes, Please.... I prefer it. I’d love to get to know you two and your story! I approach each wedding uniquely and believe they each tell their own story with the details, location, colors, and all those involved in the day. We will discuss your style and my approach! After that, i’s up to you to determine if we are a good match.
HOW MANY PHOTOGRAPHERS DO WE GET FOR OUR WEDDING?
Two. Myself and a a second photographer, not an assistant in training, not a student. An actual wedding photographer. Additional photographers, videographers available upon request.
OKAY, WE WANT TO BECOME AN ISG~WEDDING COUPLE! NOW WHAT?
First let’s talk wedding details, your hopes, and choice of photography packages. Do you want an engagement shoot included? Let’s do that soon so you can send out Save the Dates. After securing your date with your deposit, we can begin planning your dream wedding day.
HOW DO I BECOME AN ISG BRIDE?
To officially book the date, we require a signed contract and a $1000 non-refundable retainer which is applied towards your wedding photography balance. The date is not saved until your retainer is in. If you have already decided you LUV us, you can pay your retainer by sending me your inquiry with your information. I will respond with an email of our policy/details/contract/invoice for your retainer.
We are very proud to offer our exclusive payment plan for all of our wedding collections after your initial retainer is paid. Just ask for details!
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND WE WEAR FOR ENGAGEMENT PICTURES?
Be yourself. That’s what I will always recommend. For your wedding, you’re dressed to the 9s, looking your absolute best in a beautiful gown or suit. Take this opportunity of an engagement shoot to have a little fun and incorporate things about yourself or your relationship! Typically couples choose two locations, and two outfit changes. I’ve also put this cool little mood board together should you feel a bit stuck.
HOW MANY HOURS DO YOU TYPICALLY SHOOT FOR A WEDDING?
Typically 8 hours per wedding and 4 for intimate or elopements, though it may vary. I want to be there from start to finish... from the first hair appointment to the dirty dance moves. That being said, We offer 3 collections ORGANIC | ELEGANT | DREAM with hours starting at 4 , 6 or 8 hours of coverage but, we can add hours as needed so, we’ll work together on that.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE OF PHOTOGRAPHY?
Relaxed, natural, candid with an Editorial flair. I will always prefer natural light over artificial and encourage the timing of your portraits. Although I have been known to shoot in the middle of the day and late at night with great success, that's how I roll!
HOW MANY WEDDINGS DO YOU TYPICALLY SHOOT PER YEAR?
I like to keep it around 15 for weddings and elopements a year to maintain the same level of professionalism, detail and attention to each client’s wedding. I feel is very important to be involved. After all, I want to be your lifetime photographer not just your wedding photographer so we need to establish that trust.
