My travle schedule is extremely limited. While I have traveld for weddings all over , I try and stay closer to North Florida and the Southeast. However...I do love a good wedding at a new destination, so I never say never! Shoot me an email and lets chat!
In todays age, we all feel digitals are the key to great wedding coverage. While I agree, we all want our digitals, the album is probably the most important componenet of your collection. Pulling out your hard drive is just not as convenient as a good coffee table album. We select the best images to tell your love story- and it becomes a treasured heirloom for you and your future generations. Is it necessary? absolutley not! But I think you will see when your day is said and done, that its one of your favorite wedding gifts!
YES! for all weddings over four hours in coverage. My assistant is primarily there to do just that...assist me. She helps with lighting, she helps during family formals, and she helps keep everything moving perfectly! She also shoots for me, depending on the needs of the wedding day. I always shoot family formals, and the bride getting ready- this is without exception. My assistant and I have been together for almost five years, and she is like my right arm. But, as I tell all my clients you have hired me for my experience, so 98% of your gallery will come from my two cameras. If you would like to see a full gallery, to see how we cove a wedding please let me know!
Yep! all kinds! We have liability, gear, and errors and omissions.
Yes, all of your images are retouched for skin smoothing, color correction and general editing. A select few that will appear on the blog, or are favorites of mine, will get extra TLC. Also, anything that goes in the album gets extra editing as well. Removal of guests, signs, etc, are also done, but may require an additional fee depending on the length of time in editing.
I first started portraits in 2006, and shot my first wedding in 2009.
With all of the collections you get a digital download of the selcted and edited files. From these images, you can select to print your own images, or have me print them for you. I do give you the name of labs that I recommend you use to print to ensure you get a high quality print. You can make as many copies as you like! The images are yours! If you are printing larger than 11x14, then I recommend you use a professional lab. But, as stated, all of the images are yours, and you can print as large as you would like to go! I do retain the copyright for all images for print competition, submissions, and web purposes.
YES! YES! a million times yes! and not just to that brand spanking new hard drive you bought or your new ipad! We suggest backing up to an online server! We archive files for one year from your wedding date, so we always recommend you have a secure off site back up as well. And while we still have weddings from 2009 on file, I would hate to be your only source for your files. I recommend dropbox to all my portrait and wedding clients! its easy, inexpensive and safe!
No, your final images will not be watermarked as you see them in the gallery. You will receive high resolution files once your album image selections are made, and they will not bear any watermark.
Our biggest goal on your wedding day is to create clean, simple images that are as relevant to you today, as they will be 50 years from now. We like to mix a bit of the traditional with creative lighting and editing, so that you get images that are art worthy, but not trend worthy. We dont ever want you to feel when you look at your images with your children, that any of your collection is dated. Clean, beautiful work stands the test of time, and thats always what we strive for with each couple and family. We also like to capture all of your day...we like you to know we are there, but not ever be in your way. Our goal is to remind your of things that you missed on your day, or things that you have forgotten on a day that went by way too fast.
We only do one wedding per day, and at most two per weekend, but that is very rare! We shoot between 12-15 weddings per year, so a very limited amountl. This is so we can give each of our clients the special attention they deserve, and so we can have a life. I realized years ago, that having a life outside of weddings makes me so much more creative, and honestly makes the job even more enjoyable. We had years where we did upwards of 40...and well, 15 seems like something we enjoy more...and our clients enjoy it to!
For portraits, we generally shoot about 3-4 per month, except in summer and fall, our busy season. Our favorite type of session is family. There is something about the connection between parents and children, and even siblings that is just so awesome. We do a limited amount of newbons sessions, but only lifestlye.
We also offer studio sessions for head shots, and boudoir session either on location, or at the studio.
You are certainly welcome to add rehearsal coverage to your collection, but it is by ni means necessary. We have photographed over 300 weddings, and have a pretty good idea how they will flow. We will chat before hand to discuss your timeline in regards to your wedding day, and your ceremony. This will help us with all the details specific to your ceremony. Trust us, the rehearsal coverage is not necessary for amazing wedding day images!
This is the truly posed part of the day, and yes, we ask you to make a list. We want your family photos to be fast and painless! So, a good list helps us go fast, and get you and your family on your way to the party! Once we get closer to your wedding day, we will go over all the specifications for your list. Again, I am the main shooter during this time, while my assistant sets everyone up. This keeps your photos consistent and keeps family organized.
We use all Nikon professional gear. We use a d4, a d810, and d3s, as well as loads of lenses. My current favorites are the 70-200mm 2.8, 24-120mm 4.0, 85mm 1.4, 35mm 1.4, 105mm 2.8, and 16-24mm 2.8. We also use a wide variety of Nikon flashes, and Quantum flashes for reception and night work.
We like to give a starting price on our investment page, but we know your day is not like anyone elses. We work with you to create a package and timeline that will work for you and your day. Our main collection begins with eight hours of coverage, but we do offer smaller collections, and special pricing for off season, and non weekend weddings. Please inquire for a full pricing structure, and we can set up a time to chat about your details.

Our clients want amazing art, with a touch of traditional on the side. Your wedding is more than just a day, its been in the works for months, maybe years. Its not a photo shoot...its crazy, and unpredictable, and perfection, all rolled up into one. This is your love story, one you will share for generations, and it deserves images that tell that amazing story.
Holiday mini's available in the fall.
Portraits are more than the yearly Holiday Card photo. Its your babies first steps. Your daughters favorite blankie, and your sons Buzz Lightyear costume that he wont take off. Its your tweens new braces, and your seniors prom, and all those moments in between. Mini Sessions and complete sessions are availble throughout the year. Please inquire for details.
