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 two months 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 be taking fewer weddings 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.
