The FAQ
Do you Travel?
Available for hire for in most parts of Western North Carolina. My business is based out of Lincolnton North Carolina. Message me for rates and availability.
How long have you been doing this?
I've been doing photography in general around 13 years but I just recently started doing wedding and couples photography within the past 3 years.
How many photos do we get?
I take as many photos as I possibly can. On a 3-5 hour wedding day I take around 1000-4000 photos. I go through and choose the best ones. Checking for clarity, poses, image quality, and overall value of the shot. Then I retouch them and those are the photos you would get to keep. Generally from a 3-5 hour wedding you would receive 75-250 edited photos.
How do we get our photos?
I can either provide you with a 16GB USB thumb drive or I can send you a digital link to your photos that can be shared and the photos can be downloaded from directly. This will generally be decided upon when we sign paperwork.
Do you retouch photos?
I only edit the photos to make the image speak for itself. I try to make every image shine in its natural beauty. I don't do body modifications, add or remove people, places, or things.
Whats your turn around time?
I will have your photos no later than 6 weeks post event date unless otherwise discussed prior.
How do we book you?
I like to meet with my clients and speak with them on an individual basis one on one before booking to make sure that what I do as a photographer can fit the needs of what the client wants from their event/date. You can message me on facebook or reach me by my cell at 828-404-7057 as well about any questions.
Can you help us with planning?
I will do my best to help you plan around things that are photography related. I do some posed photos but a lot of what I do are spur of the moment shots. I do try my best to meet the clients needs and expectations with what they want to use prop wise or who they would like in the photos.
How far out do you book?
I tend to book 6 months to 1 year out, but it never hearts to message me and check my availability if your event is fast approaching and you need someone! I try my hardest to help everyone.
What should we do for an engagement session?
I try to give my couples the idea to choose a location that is romantic, fun, or significant in your lives that you would like the photos taken at. Most people have an idea of what they would like before they contact me, but if not then I'd do all I can to help.
What should we wear?
Most of my couples that are doing a location shoot wear something nice. it doesn't have to be super fancy unless you just want it to be. It is all up to what you and your partner want from the photos and what feel you want them to have.
