Booking & Availability
How far in advance should I book?

What happens if you're sick or unable to make it to my event?
We have a network of trusted professional photographers we can call upon in emergencies. In the unlikely event we cannot fulfill your booking, we will either provide a qualified replacement or offer a full refund.

The Photo/Video Experience
How long until i recieve my photos?
You'll receive preview images within 48 hours of your session. Full galleries are typically delivered within 2-3 weeks for portrait sessions and 4-6 weeks for weddings. Wedding films may take 8-12 weeks depending on complexity.
How many photos will i recieve?
This varies by session type. Family sessions typically yield 50+ edited images, events 100+, and weddings 300+ images. We believe in quality over quantity — you'll receive all the best moments, professionally edited.
Can I choose which photos to edit?
We hand-select and edit the best images from your session. However, if there are specific moments you'd like included, we're happy to accommodate. For weddings, you'll receive all the key moments plus many candid shots.
Do you provide prints and albums?
Yes, we offer professional printing and custom album design services. We partner with top-quality labs to ensure your images look stunning in print. Album design consultations are included with wedding packages.
Before Your Session
What should we wear?
We provide styling guidance before your session! Generally, we recommend coordinated (not matching) outfits in solid colors or subtle patterns. Avoid logos and busy prints. Comfort is key — if you feel good, it shows in the photos.
What if it rains?
We always have a backup plan! For outdoor sessions, we can reschedule or move to an alternate location. Sometimes, overcast skies create the most beautiful, soft lighting. We'll discuss options before your session.
Can i bring my pet?
Yes! We love including furry family members in sessions. Just let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly. We recommend having a helper available to manage your pet between shots.
