Wedding Photographer Questions

Booking a photographer for your wedding or event can be a very stressful process. Here are the answers to a number of commonly asked questions!

How Far In Advance to Book?

It is first come! It is very common for me to need to turn down couples because I'm already booked on their date. Book as early as possible. A written contract is prepared when we have the details worked out, and a deposit is made in order to be considered "booked". Usuallly we are booked by the first 2 months of the year for the entire year sessions. Not always, so please check with us just in case!

How Much Do You Charge and What Is The Deposit?

Please contact me and we can discuss. Each wedding is different and I make all wedding packages custom to each bride.

What Will I Receive In The End?

For all sessions, you receive high resolution digital images that have been edited and processed by yours truly. I do all the editing myself. You receive a release as well to print/use as you would like.

Do You Shoot Digital Or Film?

I shoot in digital format. In addition, I shoot in raw but will always give you jpeg files.

When Will I Receive My Photos?

I ask couples to plan on 4-6 weeks. That being said, I always put up "sneak peeks" on facebook so you don't have to wait too long!

Do You Work With A Shot List?

I have a questionnaire that I ask all couples to fill out prior to the wedding. This covers all sorts of things, including a shot list. I do work off that list if you provide me one.

Who Will Be At My Wedding?

I am always the photographer, and do not contract out my weddings. If you've requested a second photographer, I will bring one of my experienced assistants with me. More often then not, this is my graphic designer husband.

What If You Are Sick?

I have lots of connections and will always assist in finding a suitable replacement. If there is a planned conflict where I cannot make the event (scheduled surgery, broken arm...?) I offer to assist in finding a replacement, or if you choose, give you a refund to hire a different photographer.

Snapshot of Your Photographer

I love that so many of my clients come back to me time and time again for more photos, and its been so much fun getting to know so many of you. I'd like to share a little more about your photographer! I'm hoping to give you a snapshot into my life on a more regular basis, and use it to tell you more about myself! Here we go! So here is where the photo processing magic happens. My husband is a graphic designer, and with my need for perfected photo editing we share the Mac when it comes to our work projects. So this is our work place. I'll use this photo to tell you a little more about ourselves. 1. We love our cat. We got Lady Grey about a year ago, she was a stray that the Humane Society picked up. We fell in love right when we saw her. It took a few days to name her, but because of our love of Twinning tea...we went with Lady Grey. She has such a strong personality, and so naughty! Our photography business and our etsy page is both named after her!

Photography 101

I love photography, and I love how accessible digital SLR cameras are now. So many families now have good cameras, but don't know how to use them without Auto! Learning to take photos on Manual mode will change your photography dramatically, and you'll be able to tell the difference quickly! I'm now offering one-on-one classes for just $35. If you want to bring a friend, together it will be just $55 for the two of you! If you're a mom or dad and want to bring a couple kids along for your model, go ahead! Its a great opportunity to take a few photos of the kiddos! How does it work? We will meet at a park, home, etc. and discuss a few of the basics and you can get going! I'll walk you through things you may have questions about and give you some great tools to keep learning and practicing! What will you learn? I go over a few of the basics with you. We talk about ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture. We will discuss light and the basics to making the most

The J Family

Now this is one good looking family! Rachel has been one of my good friends for quite sometime. When we both lived in Lincoln while we were in school we actually spent one summer sharing a farmers market booth. She is fantastic, a wonderfully artsy individual who I envy for all of her great talents! Her family is just as wonderful! First, I'm always impressed when little boys do well in photo shoots. We had lots of great smiles, and very few bribes from mom to keep them in a good mood :) I was so excited when they asked me to photograph their family for a Christmas card. We had a wonderful day at the park, I wouldn't even call it work!
