Frequently Asked Questions
Q: If we don't use our engagement session, does that take money off the package or add extra hours to our wedding day service?
A: The engagement session is actually an integral part of every wedding package - it's not an add-on that can be removed for a discount.

Q: Do you charge extra for weekend weddings?

A: I specialize in weddings and engagement photography. This specialization allows me to perfect my craft and provide the best possible experience for couples on their wedding day.
