Where are you based? Do you travel?

Answer:

Question:

Quite possibly. I use a second photographer often when I am not able to be in two places at once or if I feel I cannot capture the day based on restrictive elements like venue size or tighter timeframes. When we discuss your wedding expectations, I will happily advise you on this based off of your unique situation.

Do we need a second photographer?

Question:

Answer:

Do you suggest a first look for the wedding day?

I suggest you do what feels good to YOU! First looks are a perfect opportunity for couples looking to have that intimate moment prior to the ceremony. Some couples prefer the tradition of a surprise at the aisle. —That's wonderful too! I do suggest for all couples to reserve at least 25 minutes for couple photos. It's the best way to get beautiful photographs while having a moment to slow down and enjoy each other during the beautiful chaos of the day. I'm happy to advise you on this based on optimal light and location so that you can easily add it to your timeline.

Question:

Answer:

Do you take formal family portraits after the ceremony?

Yes, I do take family photographs based on a specific list you will prepare prior to the day. I try and efficiently photograph these groupings so that you can get back to enjoying your day as quick as possible.

Question:

Answer:

What about a shot list?

I am going to capture it all in a way that is unique to you specifically. Other than your formal shot list for family and group shots you need not worry about a thing.
