Frequently Asked Questions

What is your pricing for destination wedding photography?
Destination wedding photography packages stay (mostly) the same as domestic weddings, just with an appropriate travel fee.

How do you charge for travel and accommodations?
I hate a flat travel fee, because it's either a complete under or over-estimation. No bueno. Instead, I quite literally will take the exact price of flights and accommodations and tack it onto your wedding photography package. No unnecessary spending.

When will you arrive to our wedding location?
I pride myself on being chronically early; chalk it up to anxiety or over-preparedness, but either way, I'll be there early. For domestic locations (within the US), arrival will likely be 24 hours before the first event scheduled. For international destinations, to be on the safe side, I like to arrive at LEAST 2 days prior to the first event. This way, there's plenty of time to adjust to any jet-lag, get a good night of sleep, and location scout.
