FAQ
What is your photography style?
We focus on a candid, documentary-style approach combined with natural, relaxed portraits. Rather than forcing stiff poses, we guide you through natural interactions to capture genuine emotions, raw reactions, and the true atmosphere of your wedding day.
How and when will we receive our photos?
You will receive a sneak peek gallery within 48 to 72 hours after your wedding day. Your full, high-resolution digital gallery—professionally edited and ready for downloading, printing, and sharing—will be delivered within 6 to 8 weeks via a secure online link.
What happens if it rains or the weather is bad?
Rain or shine, we’ve got you covered! Bad weather often leads to some of the most dramatic and atmospheric photos. We always scout locations ahead of time for charming indoor options and bring clear umbrellas for fun, memorable outdoor shots if you're up for it.
How do we secure our date?
Dates are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. To lock in your date, we require a signed digital agreement and a 20% retainer. Once both are completed, your wedding date is officially reserved on our calendar.
