Frequently asked
Calm, personal and collaborative. I put real emphasis on knowing who I’m photographing, respond quickly, and keep the process useful rather than performative.
I do—both 35mm and 120 medium format. I lean on the practical benefits of digital while using film throughout the day, particularly for portraits.
A quality-over-quantity approach usually works out to about sixty-five finished images per hour of coverage.
Three weeks for engagement and family portraits; eight weeks for a wedding gallery, with roughly sixty highlights delivered the week following the wedding.
Absolutely. Once I know your season and venue, I’m happy to send relevant recent galleries.
Nine to ten hours is a useful sweet spot for many celebrations, but the honest answer depends on your locations, preparations, portraits, formalities, and how much of the dance floor matters to you. We’ll work through the day first, then choose coverage that fits it.

For every camera body, lens, and flash I use, a backup is waiting in a bag nearby. Redundancy is built into the way I work.
Of course. If your venue needs a certificate of liability, I’m happy to provide it.
I do. It’s just off the West Bottoms and has an open door for consultations, wedding-day preparations, and portraits.
