They made us comfortable and helped direct our poses during the session so we could get the photos we wanted. They also sent us our edited photos in a very timely matter, and we LOVED their editing style."

Joel took photos for my engagement and I couldn’t be more happy with how they turned out!! I’m so thankful to have these pictures to look back on. It was so fun and natural to work with Joel. We just got to enjoy the moment and have pictures to remember it!"

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is your editing style?

Editing & Shooting style varies from each client, but you can expect your gallery to have a mix of images that have clean, natural, and vibrant colors that reflect the area that we are shooting in. Sometimes a client requests a specific type of style or look, and so long as it's inline with my style as a photographer, I'll focus the majority of the gallery on achieving their requests. This leaves a ton of creative freedom and a collaborative approach to the final product that I get to deliver.

How do you handle destination weddings and travel?

One of the reasons I began working as a photographer is to create opportunities with couples all over the world and bring their dreams to life through my photography. In this, I currently charge a flat rate fee of $3000 for destination weddings in specific locations (you can inquire about this list to see if your destination qualifies).

What should we expect during our session?

Leading up to our session, you'll be asked about if you have any ideas, goals, locations, inspo photos, etc. for your session.

Depending on what we've discussed in these conversations and your goal for your project, I'll have us set up to best accomplish those goals.

Sometimes couples & families have a ton of ideas for what they want, and that's great. Other times, clients just know they want photos and they trust me to be the expert and guide you along the way.

I do my best to figure out what works for each and every client so all my clients walk away with a gallery they are excited to receive.

How many photos will we receive, and when?

Galleries differ per session type and package you receive. While I only deliver the best, I also am not conservative with the quantities I provide. Best way to find out how many photos you'll receive is to inquire with me so I can send you my pricing guide and you can choose how many you'll receive!

Do you offer any customization in your wedding packages?

Absolutely! My packages are designed to be flexible, allowing you to add or adjust coverage to suit your needs. The base packages are set to meet about 90% of all couple's & family's wishes, but sometimes you may want a bit more for your day. With the 10% in mind, I have an add-on list where you can select anything you may want so that we can both achieve success and you can ensure you receive everything you want out of your photography experience.

How do we book you for our wedding or session?

Hit any and all inquiry buttons you see on this website! Once I receive your inquiry, I'll respond shortly after! The response will have my pricing info as well as what needs to happen for us to move forward!

 

NExt Steps

 

I. inquire & schedule a consult call with Me

The second I receive your inquiry, I'll send you a confirmation that date is actually available as well as my pricing for your session or wedding! If you're planning a wedding, the step after this will be for us to get on a quick consultation call to make sure we're a good fit!

II. Book your project date

 

If we're a good fit for each other and I have availability for your date, I'll send you your proposal! The proposal will include the details for your big day, your contract, and your invoice! Once the retainer has been paid, this date is all yours and you're officially booked with me!

III. We meet and shoot your Wedding!

Finally, the long-awaited day has come. All the details and logistics have been finalized and the day is just about you. Whether it's your wedding day, intimate couples session, or one for the family, we'll have an experience that you will cherish forever.
