FAQs

Q: How many weddings have you photographed?

I have been photographing for over 10 years and almost 300 weddings.

Q: What is all day coverage?

All day coverage allows me to tell the whole story of your day. It provides you with the ability to have a photographer all day without having to budget your hours. With all day coverage, we will arrive at least an hour before you get dressed and stay for one hour after dancing starts. The hours are not timed, so if you run behind (as weddings sometimes do), you won’t need to worry about us missing an important event.

Q: When do I receive my images?

Engagement and portrait sessions are delivered at 3 weeks. Weddings are delivered at 6 weeks.

Q: You are the one. How do I book?

Wedding and portrait dates are on a first-come, first served basis. To secure your date, all I need is a retainer and a signed client agreement.

Q: Will I meet my photographer?

YES! Most of my clients will often meet me when they book (but not required). We will also get together at least once before the wedding for your wedding photography consultation. Looking forward to it. If you are from out-of-town or a destination wedding. We will improvise.

Q: Do you travel?

I understand we may need to go to multiple locations on your wedding day. All sessions and weddings within a 50 mile radius of my Batavia, IL studio include travel. *
*Sessions and weddings in Chicago require an additional travel fee of $150 plus parking. Outside of the 50 mile radius, travel is charged at $1/mile traveled. Add 50% to that for a second photographer. Services performed further than 90 miles from Batavia require a custom travel quote. Northern Wisconsin and San Diego, California hold a special place in my heart. I have a reduced travel rate for those destination locations.

Q: Do you like to dance?

YES!!!
