FAQ
What is an intimate wedding?
An intimate wedding is called a "micro-wedding" by industry standards. It is basically a full wedding day… just scaled way down. They have a smaller guest count—around 10 to 60ish of your closest friends and family. They carry a more personal vibe.
An example would be a private ceremony along the Pacific Coast followed by a cozy dinner party instead of hosting the social event of the year with 150 guests. Or it could look like you, your future spouse, and 40+ of your friends and family renting out the back of your favorite dive bar to hold a ceremony, shoot pool and party all night.
All of the meaning, less of the production.
Are you inclusive?
Yes! I'm big on creating a space where everyone feels safe, seen and celebrated. I care a lot about making sure that a wedding space is affirming and inclusive.
I proudly support LGBTQ+ couples, people of all races, religions, cultures and immigrant communities.
I also work best with couples surrounded by family, friends and members of their wedding party that share these values. Furthermore, I have a zero-tolerance policy toward discriminatory language at weddings and events.
Our wedding isn't in the Southeast. Do you travel?
Abso-fuckin-lutely! I have shot weddings from coast to coast: NYC, San Francisco, Nashville, Massachusetts, New Orleans, Colorado, etc.
Not only do I gladly travel to you, but I have also discounted travel fees or no travels fees at all depending on which package you book.
Do you have insurance and backup gear?
I have both! I'm happy to supply your venue with a copy of my business insurance. I also bring backup gear to every wedding I book. Even travel weddings! TSA hates to see me coming with my heavy ass gear bag.
When will we receive our photos?
Your full gallery will be ready in about 8 weeks unless you pay for rush delivery. Rush delivery is returned within 14 days.
Additionally, film scans and Super 8 footage can sometimes take a little extra time to get developed and sent back to me before I can weave them into your final delivery. That's why I send sneak peeks within the first week so you’re not left hanging.
How far in advance should we book you?
Honestly, the earlier the better. Starting in 2027, I will really only take 1 wedding a month so that I can keep my calendar intentionally small. If you’ve got a date in mind, claim it before someone else does. Especially if you are wanting a May, June or October wedding date.
What is the booking process?
It’s super simple: a 30% non-refundable retainer + a signed contract locks in your date. The remaining balance isn’t due until one month before your wedding. If it helps, I also offer payment plans so you can spread things out a little instead of paying in one big chunk.
