Q: WHAT IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE?  
A true mix of Photojournalistic, creative/artistic, mixed with some traditional posed formal shots.


Q: WHAT IS A PHOTOJOURNALISTIC APPROACH?
A photojournalistic approach is essentially a day of candid photography documenting your experience with no pre-set shot lists and no manipulation of a subject or influencing the subjects in the photo whatsoever. To me, photojournalism means that I capture moments, as opposed to creating artificial situations where everything is posed. A photojournalistic approach allows me to capture all of the emotion and beauty that occursnaturally at your celebration when your family and friends are enjoying themselves. I have found that when you can relax and focus on your special day, some of the best moments are created. I am willing to do a number of actual "posed" formals, and will go for specific shot's if requested. One month prior to your special day, we will discuss which formal shot’s you would like to have taken, if any at all and when. I do everything I can to work quickly so that you can join your family and friends celebration.


Q: HOW MANY IMAGES DO YOU TAKE?
I do not set a limit to the amount of images I take throughout the day. I take as many images as I need to tell the story of your day. I would rather take too many images and have you ask,"Why did you take this?" than "I wish you had gotten a picture of....."


Q: DO YOU SHOOT ANY FILM?
I shoot 100% digital.


Q: DO YOU TRAVEL?
Absolutely! I will travel anywhere, as long as you cover my actual travel expenses.


Q:DO YOU SHOOT BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOS AND DOES IT COST MORE?
I love to shoot b&w! I believe that they convey a sense of timelessness. There is no additional cost to do b&w, color or any other techniques I use at your event. Additional requested retouching is available for $25.00 per hour.


Q: WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO HOLD OUR WEDDING DATE OR SESSION:
Please email or call me to set up an appointment.
Phone consultations are available for out of town couples. A non-refundable fee of 25% of your total package price and a signed agreement is needed to reserve your date or shoot. I only shoot one wedding per day.


Q: WHAT TYPE OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
I accept cash or personal checks. (CC method of payment coming soon!)


Q: DO YOU BRING BACK UP EQUIPMENT?
Your special day is too important to take any chances when it comes to equipment.
I will have back up equipment with me in case it is needed.


Q: WHAT DOES ALL DAY COVERAGE MEAN?
All day coverage means that I am with you throughout your day. From the time
you get started with hair and makeup to your final dance as husband and wife.


Q: HOW LONG WILL WE HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE OUR IMAGES?
Engagement, Portrait, Kids and Product shoots generally have a 2-3 week turn around depending on the number of images
 For weddings and Trash the Dress please allow 4-6 weeks.
