FAQs
Can we request specific photos?
One of the things I’ll do when we initially talk is get a feel for what parts of the day are most important to you. As we continue to meet and plan over time leading up to your wedding, I’ll ask for more specifics on any special family shots or pairings you’d like taken. You can rest assured that I’ve got an extensive list of all the details and important moments and I won’t miss a thing.
Do you travel?
I do! I love to travel and will happily go anywhere to capture your big day—please see pricing and packages for travel fee details.
How long have you been shooting weddings?
I started my photography business in 2009 and have been shooting weddings ever since! Now that I am no longer in the classroom teaching, I am able to take on more mid-week shoots and intimate wedding adventures.
Do you offer engagement shoots?
Yes, my Willow wedding package includes an engagement shoot option but I’ll also happily schedule something separate if that’s what you’re looking for! You can also create a custom package with add-ons.
How long does it take to get our photos back?
For weddings, expect between 6-8 weeks for full edited albums to be complete and delivered. For elopements, around 4 weeks, and family shoots or engagements, between 2-3 weeks. I will typically share a sneak peak of 8-10 photos at most 48 hours post-event.
