Wedding Photography FAQs

How far in advance should we secure a wedding photographer?


Booking 9 to 18 months in advance is best, especially for peak wedding seasons. Popular dates fill up fast, so securing your photographer early ensures availability. Last-minute bookings are possible, but early planning gives you more flexibility.

Do you include engagement sessions in your wedding packages?


Yes! Engagement sessions are included in my wedding packages. They’re a great way for us to connect and help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Plus, you’ll get beautiful, relaxed portraits before the big day.

 

 

Do you offer second shooters or assistants?


Yes, a second photographer can be added to capture more angles and moments. This is great for larger weddings or when getting-ready locations are separate.

 

 

 

How long does it take to receive our wedding photos?


Final galleries are delivered within 6 to 8 weeks, with a sneak peek sent earlier. I carefully edit each image to ensure vibrant colors, sharp details, and a polished look.

 

How many photos will we receive from our wedding day?


You’ll typically receive 600 to 900 edited photos, depending on the coverage. I focus on delivering a balanced mix of candid moments, emotional highlights, and artistic portraits.
