How do we book you?

Step 1: You’ll fill out the inquiry form about you + boo + your day. The more detail you provide the better I can help you decide on a wedding day experience you truly want.

Step 2: We’ll schedule a video call or email back and forth. I’ll hear your love story details, and walk you through some custom packages for you pick from. 

Step 3: You pick a custom package, sign the contract, and and 30% nonrefundable retainer is due to officially book your date.

How do we receive our images?

You will receive a text from me when your online gallery is ready. The gallery link and secure downloading pin will be in your email inbox. Through this gallery you can view, share, download, order prints AND albums. All images are free to download by anyone, as long as you share with them the pin!

Do you have payment plans?

Absolutely! Once the 30% nonrefundable retainer is down to reserve your date, the online invoice will trigger and then a payment plan is put in place. We can work together on a payment schedule that fits your budget, whether it's 5 payments or monthly up until your date.

Can we do an engagement session first?

Please note that I do not save dates until the wedding contract is signed and the 30% nonrefundable retainer is DELIVERED. 

Can you just photograph our reception?

Did you elope just the two of you?? If so OMG go you!!! YES I do receptions only. It's not uncommon for folks to get married somewhere out of state and then want to have a party with their local friends and family. I’ll be there: photographing speeches, dances, conversations, lawn games, you name it! 

Do you travel outside of Springfield, IL?

Anywhere! I've flown to Washington, Texas, and California for weddings.
I'll do it again!

Mileage will be factored into your personalized packages if you are further than 70 miles away from Springfield, IL. Locations 2+ hours away require a two night stay.

How do you keep our images safe?

I back up my images 4x throughout the wedding day process; by copying to multiple SD cards DURING the wedding, and backing up images to multiple external hard drives. I keep edited images backed up even after your wedding. 

What is your gallery turnaround time?

Previews of your wedding day are completed and sent to you within 48 hours of saying “I do!” I’ll send you a text when they’ve dropped into your inbox.

Full wedding galleries are completed and sent within 6-10 weeks.

What is a second photographer?

It's another photographer I hire to better help document your day. 

A second is absolute must if you have 50+ people attending your day, and especially if candid moments with family, friends, loved ones are high on your priority list. The second will scope out those moments between guests while I am documenting you. It’s also important if you want your fiancé to have getting ready photos while I’m photographing you getting ready. 

I have several photographers in the area I trust, train, and reach out to second photograph for me; I take care of this part, not you!

Do you only photograph intimate weddings?

No!!! I photograph elopements (less than 10 people), intimate weddings (50 or less) and large weddings (100+ more). Be sure to include details as to what you want documented through your day so I can best come up with a package that is the right fit for you.
