IS THE RETAINER REFUNDABLE?

The retainer is a non-refundable 25% due within 48 hours of the personal portal being sent to reserve the time/date wanted. The 25% is part of the total cost listed on the pricing page. The remainder is due 7 days for the wedding date.

HOW DO YOU ACCEPT PAYMENT?

Paypal

DO YOUR PRICES INCLUDE TAXES?

Yes, they do. My prices are the flat fee with no hidden costs.

WHAT IF WE WANT TO GET MARRIED ON A HOLIDAY?

There is a 35% of package surcharge if you are wanting to hire me for your wedding on a holiday (ie. Christmas, New Years Eve, Thanksgiving, etc)and a 25% surcharge if you want to hire me during a holiday weekend (ie. Memorial Day Weekend, Labor Day Weekend, etc.). There is a price increase because my packages are all inclusive and have to accommodate pricing increases for travel during holidays and holiday weekends.

IS THERE COST INVOLVED WITH TRAVEL?

No, my wedding packages are all inclusive when it comes to travel. This will cover the basics: lodging, air fare, rental car, and meals; however, there are limits to how much is covered if getting married at a hard to reach location.

I have unique pricing structures for each location: local (Pensacola Beach to Panama City Beach), southern (GA, LA, AL, MS), USA (including Puerto Rico), and international.

FOR LOCAL WEDDING PACKAGES, WHAT IF WE CHOOSE NOT TO USE THE COMPLIMENTARY ENGAGEMENT SESSION, OR ARE FROM OUT OF STATE?

The engagement sessions included with my packages are complimentary, and hold no monetary value; however, we can switch it to a day before or after session if this is a destination wedding for you and I have availability. Outside of the day before or day session the complimentary session can not be used for other services (ex. rehearsal dinner coverage, family photo session, etc.).

HOW MANY IMAGES WILL WE GET FROM OUR WEDDING?

You can expect to get 50 fully edited images per hour.

HOW LONG UNTIL WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE OUR PHOTOS?

This usually takes between 8-10 weeks for completion, but I will make sure you two have a sneak peek within 1 week of your wedding day!

HOW LONG WILL OUR ONLINE GALLERY BE OPEN?

Your gallery will be open for one (1) year and you will get multiple reminder emails once it is about to close.

WHAT IS THE PRINT RELEASE?

The print release allows you to print your photos at any printing facility you so choose. They are to be used for personal prints ONLY. Any commercial printing or usage is an additional cost.

However, I can not guarantee the quality of prints if printing through third party vendors. So, I do highly recommend printing through your gallery as they are from a professional printer unlike Walmart, etc.

WHAT ARE THE FINE ART PRINTS?

They are high quality 4×6 in matte prints printed from a professional grade printing facility.

DO YOU RETAIN ALL COPYRIGHT? DOES THAT MEAN WE CAN’T SHARE THE PHOTOS?

The Client shall only use the prints, including digital files IF DIGITAL FILES APPLIES. The Client’s prints are for personal use only and shall not be submitted to contests, reproduced for commercial use or authorize any reproductions by parties other than the photographer. 

CAN WE HAVE THE UNEDITED IMAGES?

I do not give out the unedited (RAW) images. RAW images can be purchased for a fee if discussed prior to the wedding.

IF WE NEED A PERMIT, WHO GETS THEM/PAYS FOR THEM?

I will help with the process of figuring out which (if any) we need, but it will be up to you all to secure it/pay for it and show me proof of having obtained it!

HOW MANY GUESTS ARE CONSIDERED A WEDDING?

Everyone’s answer will be a little different, but for me it means 20 people or more will be in attendance.

DO YOU HELP US PLAN?

With my traditional wedding packages no planning is included; however, I have recommendations for great planners and do offer a vendor list.

I will, however, look over the timeline and make adjustments as needed to best utilize time for photos.

WHEN SHOULD WE BOOK YOU FOR OUR WEDDING?

ASAP! Since I do not hold dates they are open to be booked on a first come first serve basis until a contract is signed and non-refundable retainer is paid.

ARE YOU INSURED?

YES! If you wedding venue needs it to be sent to them just let me know and I can get it sent their way!

WILL YOU BE SHOOTING OUR WEDDING?

Yes! Unless you chose a date that I am not currently available for and have accepted having one of my associates present to photograph your day (and me editing the images)!

CAN YOU SHOOT JUST OUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION IF YOU ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR OUR WEDDING?

Yes! Even if I and my associates are booked for your wedding day I would still LOVE to be part of your journey even just for engagement pictures. I love capturing love so I would never pass up the opportunity.
