FAQ

Q: What sets you apart from other photographers?


A: Our most unique aspect of our business is being a mother-daughter duo. With every wedding we photograph, there is always the same two photographers. This provides consistent work, not leaving you wondering who the second photographer of your most important day will be. We also have years of training, knowing how to guide you best to make you feel relaxed while looking your very best.

Q: What is your approach to the wedding day


A: Our approach is a thoughtful mix of posed, prompted, and artfully guided photography, paired with genuine documentary moments throughout the day. We step in when direction is helpful — guiding portraits, family photos, and key moments — and step back when real life is unfolding naturally.

Q: How do we reserve our wedding date?


A: A 10% deposit & signed contract is required in order to get your wedding on the calendar. The remainder of your balance is due one week prior to your wedding..

FAQ

Q: Do you photograph destination weddings?


A: Yes! We would love to travel with you! We are more than happy to create a custom wedding collection to suit your travel needs.

Q: How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?


A: We understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. We will provide a sneak peek within 48 hours. For full gallery delivery it typically takes 10-12 weeks for completion. We prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.

Q: Will you Photoshop my images to hide any unwanted spots, wrinkles, etc?


A: Minor edits will be made to all of your images, but we believe our imperfections are what make us beautiful & unique. If there are specific edits you want, these will be charged according to the number and complexity of edits.
