INFORMATION

WEDDINGS

What photography services do you offer?

I focus mainly on photographing weddings but also photograph boudoirs, seniors, families, and headshots.

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?

I have a studio to meet 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 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 mainly photograph 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 and print samples?

Yes! 1009 Bridge Street Ashtabula, Ohio 44004 above Bridge Street Art Works (Upper Loft) in the Historic Ashtabula Harbor. When you come to visit me make sure you make time to visit all of our shops and restaurants!

Can you hold the date for me?

We cannot hold the date or pencil you in. To be fair to everyone we cannot hold the date without the deposit and a signed contract. We accept bookings on a first come/first serve basis.

How much are your wedding collections?

Collections start at $2,000, if you are having a elopement, let me know what exactly what you are looking for and we can customize a collection for you.

Do you retouch my images?

I can retouched and enhanced. I post retouched social media sneak peeks and I will add those to your gallery. I do edit everything as in I create it to be BXW, vintage, bright, filmy, and moody, cropping, and culling. Retouching things like eyes and teeth whiter, skin smoother, distracting items removed, and head swapping can be requested. But FYI, I always throw in some artistic flair pieces into the gallery just because I LOVE Photoshop!

Do you offer Payment plans?

Yes, I do! Just ask.
