I always photograph sessions during golden hour. The light is prettiest 2 hours before sunset and 2 hours after sunrise. For example, if sunset is at 7:30pm, we'll usually plan to start around 5pm. That being said, based on the location of the sun and tendency towards crowds some locations require a specific shoot time frame in order for you to have the best experience & photos possible.

During busy wedding season (May-November) I don't book couples sessions on the weekends since they are reserved for my traditional weddings! That being said though if it's busy season and I don't have a wedding scheduled on the date you inquire about then we can absolutely shoot on the weekend! In the off season (December-April) weekend couples shoots are totally fine!

Think of a spot that is meaningful to you and your significant other. This could be your favorite park or one of the spots you first met. Some other options could be an Urban/City, Beach/Ocean, or Rustic/Mountainous backdrop. If you're feeling a more lifestyle activity based session, this could be baking at your house, playing a sport together, hiking trips, camping, PYO at a farm, going to an amusement park etc. I’m here to capture YOUR love story so I’ll tag along for any shoot that represents you two best! If you still need specific location suggestions, I’m at your service :)

Rainy engagement shoots are super romantic too cozying up under an umbrella, but if the weather is looking rainy and you are looking for those beautiful golden hour photos then we can absolutely switch to another date that works for the both of us. There is no rescheduling fee!

This varies per session based on weather, outfit changes, and locations but typically your average couples session gallery will have 100 images minimum.

YES! I love animals and totally understand they are part of the family. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter and have done lots of shoots with cats, dogs, horses, etc. There is a little extra planning for sessions with your furry friends but 100% doable!

One outfit is absolutely fine, but you’re more than welcome to bring two. Some people like to have one outfit that is dressy and one that is more casual, but it’s totally up to you two.

1. Fill out the contact form 2. We will chat and decide the shoot location, date, and time 3. You'll both sign the contract 4. You pay the non-refundable retainer (50% of your session price) to secure your date 5. Your second payment is due on shoot day and we have an AMAZING SESSION! 6. You get sneak peaks within 48 hours. 7. Your full gallery is delivered within 2 weeks of your session date!

Find outfits that compliment each other, but don’t match. Wear whatever you feel best in and 100% comfortable. If you choose a rustic or beach location I always suggest bringing an extra pair of shoes (sandals, sneakers, hiking boots) so you don’t have to get your nice shoes dirty while walking to the spot.

I'm a big believer in capturing real moments and promoting natural beauty so I don't do photoshop requests that change the way you'd look on your best day. For example I don't ever do any photoshopping of body alterations such as changing hair color, changing shape of nose/eyes/body to be bigger or smaller.If there is a certain cosmetic edit you want done it can be outsourced to Retouch-Up.com based on their website pricing.

I've completed a photoshop course so I am a pro at the following complimentary edits I can provide if you'd like- no biggie if you don't want anything touched.

- Removing distractions
- I'll get rid of exit signs, hair elastics and people photobombing in the background of a photo
- Taming flyaway hairs that ya know decided to blow under your nose making it seem like you have a mustache
- Swapping heads and eyes: Think I'm going to delete an amazing photo just cause someone blinked- think again! I can open their eyes like MAGIC
- I can edit out that teenage sized zit that decided to bless you on wedding day
- Blending that awkward sunburn you got while relaxing at the beach days before your wedding
- Make ring shots POP & SPARKLE

I just like to give my clients 100% confidence that if life gets messy or a zit decides to bless you on wedding day you have no reason to worry whatsoever.
