Questions
Do you provide posing direction during sessions?
Yes, I provide natural direction to create authentic moments while avoiding stiff poses. My approach focuses on making couples feel comfortable and capturing genuine interactions.
How long does it take to receive final images?
Processing takes 4-8 weeks during peak season, with a 90-day maximum guarantee. Delivery occurs through an online gallery with full download and printing rights.
Can we print the photos you deliver?
Yes, you receive high-resolution JPEG files with no print restrictions, watermarks, or size limitations for personal use.
What equipment do you use?
I use Sony a7 series full-frame mirrorless cameras with multiple lenses and backup systems, including dual memory card recording for complete reliability.
Do you work with second shooters?
Second shooters are available as an add-on, though 95% of my portfolio images were captured solo. I regularly work with an assistant for logistical support during events.
How do you handle bad weather on wedding days?
I'm experienced in challenging weather conditions with weather-sealed equipment. We develop contingency plans for outdoor events, including tent arrangements and creative indoor alternatives.
