FAQs

Do you require a retainer fee/deposit? Yes, 25% of the collection total (including any add-ons) is due up front at the time of booking as a non-refundable retainer fee to reserve your wedding date on my calendar. Another 25% is due within 3 months of booking. If booking less than 3 months in advance from the wedding date, 50% of the collection total (including any add-ons) will be due up front at the time of booking.

When is the remaining balance due? The remaining 50% balance is due no later than one month before the wedding. It can be paid in payments up to that date or in full on that date, as long as it’s paid by that date.

How far out do you book weddings? Couples typically book at least a year to a year and a half in advance.

We don’t need an engagement session, can we get money off of our total? Engagement sessions included in wedding collections are complimentary and hold no exchange value for other sessions or collection discounts.

Do we have to use the complimentary engagement session? Of course not! However, I highly recommend taking advantage of it, even if you’ve already had engagement photos done with another photographer. This gives us a chance to work together before the wedding day and gives me a chance to get to know you as a couple and your story.

Do you travel outside of the MOV for weddings? Absolutely, I would be happy to travel within a few hours of Marietta, Ohio.

Is there a travel fee? Travel up to 100 miles round trip on the wedding day and 30 miles round trip for the engagement session is included in each collection at no additional cost. Weddings more than 2 hours away from my home will be an additional charge for lodging the night before the wedding on top of an additional mileage fee.

Do you book same sex couples? I sure do! I am a firm believer that all love is beautiful!

How long does it take to receive the full finished wedding gallery? Turnaround time is typically 8-10 weeks from the wedding date.

Do you offer help with the wedding day timeline? ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY! I prefer to meet with couples 2-4 weeks before the wedding for coffee (on me!) so we can create a timeline of the wedding day together to ensure things flow smoothly.

Do you provide a contract? Wouldn’t imagine photographing a wedding without one! Once you are ready to book and pay your retainer fee, you will receive the contract link as well.
