Question 1

Do you also offer video services?

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

Do you offer short Reels or social media clips with your photography packages?

These can be added to any photography package and are a fun, modern way to share your day with friends and family. We focus on quick, emotional moments and behind-the-scenes footage to create content that’s both meaningful and share-worthy.

Question 12

Can I add videography or extra hours after I book?

Do you offer payment plans?

A retainer is due at the time of booking to reserve your date, and the remaining balance can be split into manageable installments leading up to your wedding day. The full balance is due 30 days prior your wedding day.
