What is your photographic style?
My style of photography falls into the realm of illustrative documentary photography. I prefer this style because it allows for a relaxed portrait session that captures the spontaneity of candids while still preserving a professional portrait look. I believe that the setting of a wedding is important, too. Therefore, in addition to photographs of your friends and family that shared your day, you also have stunning images of the location and surroundings that were the backdrop to your big day.
What is your working style?
Aside from the more formal posed images of the bride and groom alone and with family and friends, I also capture the bigger moments as well as the little moments. Keeping in mind that the happy couple cannot be everywhere at once, I like to wander around during the day and preserve memories that they may have missed. I stay mindful to blend into the background and have my camera ready for what unfolds naturally, letting people's personalities come through in the finished images

How many photographers will be on hand at my wedding?
I am the sole photographer at your wedding unless you request a second photographer. An additional, non-refundable fee of $250 is required for a second photographer, payable upon signing the contract and submitting your deposit. The second photographer will be there for 3 hours. However, additional time can also be purchased for the second photographer.

What happens if you're unable to make it the day of my wedding? Or your camera breaks right before or during the wedding? Do you have a backup plan to calm my pre-wedding nerves?
In case of either emergency, I have a reliable plan B in spare equipment and assistant photographers that step up to the plate.
How far in advance do I need to book with you?
The earlier, the better! I don't have a specific time frame for when a couple needs to reserve their date. However, I cannot guarantee your date will be available if you postpone booking your wedding day session.
Do you require a deposit/retainer fee?
I do not officially reserve your date until one is paid. The deposit/retainer fee is 50% of your session price. Once you have paid the retainer fee, your date is officially reserved. The remaining balance is due before or on the day before your event. If your event includes travel fees (please see FAQ for a fee chart), the travel fees are in addition to your chosen package fee and are due before any complimentary service is redeemed and/or the day before any sessions. Deposits and retainer fees are non-refundable.

Is there anything else you need to officially book my wedding?
When paying your deposit, I also have a contract that will need to be signed by both parties. This protects both of us in case our original plans shift.
What packages do you offer for weddings?
I offer three different packages for your big day. Please click here to view AOP's Wedding Pricing Guide.
What happens if I don't use all my paid time on my wedding day? Do I lose that time?
No! Weddings are hard to predict as far as time goes. If you don't use all your package's time on the day of your wedding, that time rolls forward as credit that can be used in the future! Your unused time doesn't expire and can be used for any session type in the future.
Do you book other sessions on the day of my wedding?
No. The entire day is devoted to your wedding and only your wedding!

How do you dress when you attend weddings?
I typically wear shades of dark gray and/or black when shooting weddings so I don't reflect any unwanted tones onto my subjects. However, if you want/need me to dress in a certain color scheme, please don't hesitate to let me know.
May other people take photographs during the day?
I believe that having photographs of your special event taken by the people close to you are important photographs, too! I invite guests to capture their own memories of that day to share with you. The only thing I ask is that during the formal shots of the newlyweds and family, all other cameras are put away. The issue of "wandering eyes" comes up when the bridal party isn't looking in a consistent direction. With my camera being the only one to look at, I make sure your photos are taken professionally and quickly so you are free to enjoy your celebration!

Do you offer engagement sessions?
Absolutely! Every wedding package comes with a complimentary engagement session!
How long after the wedding will I have to wait until I can see my images?
You'll receive sneak peeks as soon as the next day, but the final gallery will take approximately 4 - 6 weeks from the day of your wedding during peak wedding seasons. You'll be contacted with the link to view your gallery online. Your digital downloads will be available at the time of your gallery viewing.
Do you provide editing and retouching?
I promise you that each image is given individual attention to ensure it looks the best it possibly can for you -- no charge!
Are prints included in the session fee?
Actual physical prints are not included. However, you do receive print credit with each wedding package that you can use to purchase the prints you love in the sizes that you want.
