WHAT ARE YOUR PRICES?
Full day wedding coverage begins at $5,300.00. Most couples will spend $6,000.00 - 8,000.00 between photography coverage, additional shoots like engagement or rehearsal dinner coverage, and printed products. Smaller packages for intimate weddings are available upon request.
WHAT PACKAGE SHOULD WE BOOK?
Don’t worry, if you’re not sure what package you would like to book to start with, I’ve got you covered! Chances are you’re at the beginning of your wedding planning process, so I absolutely don’t expect you to know what your schedule looks like yet. The hours you book will remain flexible leading up to your wedding date, so we can add or remove hours from your package based on your individual schedule as it comes together.
WHAT IS YOUR BOOKING PROCESS?
To start with, please send me an inquiry through the contact page of my website so we can exchange preliminary email information and my pricing and packages guide. After that I make sure that we connect either in person over a cup of coffee, or through a video call before moving ahead with booking your date. I believe it’s so important that you feel like we have a good personal connection, so I always insist on a meeting to get to know one another first! Once you’re ready to secure your date on my calendar we exchange a signed contract and a non-refundable booking deposit. The remaining balance is due prior to our shoot date.
WHERE ARE YOU BASED? DO YOU TRAVEL?
I am based out of both Toronto and Collingwood, and cover weddings in both of these centers and the surrounding areas. If my booking schedule permits I also love to travel farther afield for weddings, and cover weddings from Muskoka, to Killarney, to Prince Edward County.
HOW MANY PHOTOS DO WE RECEIVE?
The average 8 hour wedding day includes a final gallery of around 800 photographs. That being said, the number of photos you receive varies based on what package you choose and how many hours I’m with you for. I don’t ‘cut off’ the number of images you receive based on the number of hours we shoot for though, and I will always deliver every photograph I think you might like to have!
WHAT IS YOUR TURN AROUND TIME?
I take on a limited and manageable number of weddings each year, so my turn around time is a fast and guaranteed. I deliver full wedding galleries within 6-8 weeks of your wedding date (usually sooner) and engagement sessions are delivered within 4 weeks. I also always deliver a small gallery of ‘sneak peek’ images within a few days of your wedding or engagement session, so you have something to share with friends and family right away!
WHAT IF THE WEATHER IS BAD?
I often encourage couples to embrace whatever type of weather is available. In my experience ‘bad’ weather often makes for some really gorgeous photographic opportunities! On a wedding day we work with whatever mix of indoor and outdoor spaces are available to us based on the weather. For a more flexible shoot like an engagement shoot, if the weather is truly terrible we can look into rescheduling at both of our earliest convenience.
DO YOU DELIVER RAW FILES?
A large part of the magic happens in the editing process. I deliver your final photographs to you in both web resolution AND high resolution JPG files, which means they’re large enough files for anything you could ever possibly want to do with them. No watermarks, no BS, they’re yours to love and enjoy. I don’t deliver RAW files as these look very different from the final product.
WILL YOU PHOTOSHOP US?
I believe in promoting body acceptance and positivity, and therefore don’t offer ‘body photoshop’ services. I do retouch temporary blemishes such as bruises, cuts, and acne to make sure you feel like your best version of you in all our photographs. If there’s something you feel very self-conscious about, please feel free to tell me in advance and I will be more aware of your comfort in this area while we’re shooting together.
WE’RE NERVOUS, WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH?
First off, don’t worry! Everyone who steps in front of the camera is nervous. Personally, I get ‘t-rex arms’ when you point the camera at me, it’s cute. We steer clear of highly posed and formal ‘prom photographs’, and emphasize getting you moving around, interacting, and generally having a fun time together. I have an arsenal of easy posing prompts and activities, and embarrassing number of bad dad jokes to keep you moving, smiling, and laughing. Many of the images I create on a wedding day are candid shots, so for most of the day you won’t even be aware of the camera. All of my couples comment on how amazed they are by how naturally their photographs unfold, and love the number of candid moments I deliver that they weren’t even aware of.
WHAT DO WE WEAR FOR PHOTOS?
I have a ‘what to wear’ guide I can send you before your engagement session if you would like. Don’t worry, I’ve got you!
WHAT IF YOU CAN’T MAKE IT ON OUR WEDDING DAY?
*Shiver*. If this ever were to happen, it would be due to something entirely outside of my control. I would never miss a wedding, and have planned for this in advance by including a second shooter as part of my wedding packages. In the event that I am unable to be at your wedding, I trust my second to do a fantastic job of capturing your special moments. I will probably also send you a puppy and a million free prints.
DO YOU HELP WITH THE PLANNING PROCESS?
I’ve attended hundreds of weddings by now, and am always happy to weigh in with whatever you may need. Leading up to the wedding you’ll receive an information guide all about maximizing your photography experience, as well as a series of emails from me to keep us on top of planning the photography aspect of your day. If you’re considering hiring a wedding planner, I highly recommend it as it will make your experience so much better, and will allow me to create my best work when I only have to focus on capturing amazing moments.
DO YOU OFFER PRINTING?
YES! I believe that printing your photographs is so important. I offer a wide range of professionally printed products, and work with you through the process of printing and preserving your most important memories.
DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS?
My pricing remains firm, but I am happy to discuss what is included within your wedding package to customize the right type of coverage for you.
