Info/FAQ
My Style: I am an editorial fine art wedding photographer based in Columbus, Ohio. I focus on capturing the love, emotions, and special moments throughout your day to create art that tells your story perfectly.
Why work with me: I will create amazing photos for you to cherish forever. From developing an initial timeline for your wedding day to the final image delivery, I am there for you.
My Experience: I started shooting photos at the age of 10! I studied photography throughout high school and college and graduated with a degree in fashion photography. At this point in my career, I have photographed over 425 weddings. However, I am always still learning and trying to push my art everyday.
Consultations: I would love to chat with you about your wedding plans! I am available for in person meetings in my home office or via phone. We will chat about all the details of your wedding day, as well as check out more of my work.
Booking: I take a limited amount of weddings per year and booking is on a first come, first served basis. To book me as your wedding photographer, there is a contract and an $800 deposit that will be applied to your custom photography package. After the initial deposit, we will begin creating your custom package, including the amount of photo coverage and any additional products you might want (i.e., albums and prints).
Investment: My clients spend an average of $3.5-7k, depending on the time, size, and location of your wedding: After our initial meeting, I create a custom package for you based on our conversation.
Delivery of final images: All edited, high resolution images will be delivered to you via digital download. I suggest downloading these to your home computer or external hard drive for archival storage. All images will also be uploaded to my online proofing gallery, where you can view your images and order prints.
Personal usage rights: A photo usage rights agreement is exactly that - a written legal agreement granting an individual or entity the rights to use images that a photographer owns the copyrights to. The most common type of photography usage is the "right to use"', which grants the image owner the right to use the photograph for personal, non-commercial purposes. NOTE: This does not include commercial usage.
Post wedding: Following your wedding day, I back up your images multiple times to ensure that your images are always safe. After culling your images and creating a photo order, I start the editing process. My editing is clean and classic and each wedding is edited with your style in mind. My goal is to give you a set of images that you will cherish forever! The editing process generally takes me 4-6 weeks.
Travel/Destination: I love traveling for weddings and would be happy to chat about your destination wedding! I have shot weddings in Ohio, Florida, NYC, California, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Chicago, Colorado, and Oregon. Travel in Ohio is free. For travel outside of Ohio, a fee will be added to your package depending on the location of the wedding:
Prints: I offer prints in a variety of sizes from 587 to 30840. Prints are available framed or unframed. All print are offered with a 30% discount within to days of receiving your gallery.
Second shooter: You can add a second shooter to your wedding coverage. I suggest this option if there are multiple locations for the day or if your event is very large. See guide for pricing details.
Posing/Direction: Having your photo taken can be intimidating! I will help guide you into the best light and locations that bring out your style and have you looking your best.
Film: Film is what started my life long photography passion and I love the smooth colors and heavy grain that comes with film photography. My go to film camera for weddings is my Canon 1n 35mm and my medium format Mamiya 645af loaded with Kodak Portra 400 or Kodak Tmax 800. Feel free to ask about shooting film at your wedding:
My camera set up: I have been a Canon shooter since early in my career. I choose Canon because of the warm golden tones of the raw files. My most used lens are my Canon 35mm, 50mm, and 70-200mm. I have backups of all my gear to ensure that I am always ready for every moment. I pair my Canon with 6 flash units. These help me create a mood and atmosphere even when there is low light.
