INFORMATION

WEDDINGS

​

• What photography services do you offer? 

      I focus mainly on photographing weddings but also photograph boudoirs, seniors,            families, babies & branding/business headshots. I also create social media content            for several businesses.

​

• We are trying to decide on a photographer but it's so hard, how do we decide?  
  Many brides just aren't into photography that much, or have pawned the wedding planning off to mom. There are even some brides who don't want to take any advice and just want things a certain way. These brides aren't who we usually work with. We love working with couples who are fun, cherish memories, want great photography, and love the fact that they get to celebrate such an important day in their lives with the people they love. 

​​

• My friend or Uncle has a "nice" camera, why don't I just use it?

      Sure, you could do that. Does your friend/Uncle know how to shoot under any                  lighting conditions? Does she or he have a fast lens? What focal length does                      She or He usually choose for full-length portraits? How's her off-camera flash                    technique? Does she or he own a flash? What if her or his camera breaks, do they            have backups?  Unless she or he has the skills, gear, and a few weddings under her          or his belt, I'm going to strongly recommend a pro for this once-in-a-lifetime event.

​​

• We live out of town but would love more information and would love to meet with you, can we?

      We can meet at my studio when you are in town, or I am constantly meeting with            people over video chat and many times just a simple phone call. Half of my                      weddings are for people who do not even live in NEO. 

​​

• How will we view our images? 

      I edit weddings generally in 30-60 days or less, depending on the time of the year. I          post social media sneak peeks a few days afterward and you're more than welcome          to share those, they are watermarked, and you can share and keep them. After I am          done editing, I will send you a link to your gallery for sharing and ordering, those            are watermarked as well for the gallery only. Once you receive your digitals                      and prints, those images will not be watermarked.

​​

• Do you offer canvases and albums, I do not want to deal with figuring this all out, I am not creative?

      Yes, I have plenty of samples on display in my studio. Let's make an appointment              and chat!

​

• Do you have a second shooters?

       Yes for larger weddings and they are professionals and not in training.

​​

• Do you travel to shoot a wedding?

     Absolutely! I'm based in Ohio but will travel anywhere for a wedding.                                 Traveling and Weddings are my two favs!

​​

• How do we book and what are your payment terms?

      To secure your wedding date, I require a non-refundable retainer of $500, with the            balance due one month before your wedding date. We accept cash, debit, and credit          cards. 

​

• How do you consider your style of photography?

      I used to work at the Tampa Tribune, so I have a newspaper background....I am                  photojournalistic all the way, with a tad bit of traditional and romantic. My images            are true to life colors & natural, though I do add in some rich BxW and vintage style        edits as well.

 

• Do you have a studio space, I'd like to see your album & print samples?

      Yes! 1009 Bridge Street Ashtabula, Ohio 44004 above Bridge Street Art Works                 (Upper Loft) in the Historic Ashtabula Harbor. ​​​
