04 / Information

Plenty of planning. Plenty of room for life.

The better I know you, the better photographs I can make for you. We’ll form a concise plan, then leave enough space for the day to be itself.

Working method / three movements

A plan is indispensable. So is knowing when real life has made a better one.

01
Listen first

Know what matters

We talk through your people, priorities, expectations, and everything you’d rather skip.

02
Make room

Make a useful plan

A clear timeline, portrait strategy, and practical help wherever the plans feel tangled.

03
Then trust it

Let it unfold

Direction where it helps. Quiet observation everywhere else. No turning the day into a photo shoot.

Frequently asked

What’s it like working with you?+

Calm, personal and collaborative. I put real emphasis on knowing who I’m photographing, respond quickly, and keep the process useful rather than performative.

Do you photograph on film?+

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.

How many photographs will we receive?+

A quality-over-quantity approach usually works out to about sixty-five finished images per hour of coverage.

What is the turnaround time?+

Three weeks for engagement and family portraits; eight weeks for a wedding gallery, with roughly sixty highlights delivered the week following the wedding.

Can we see full galleries?+

Absolutely. Once I know your season and venue, I’m happy to send relevant recent galleries.

How much wedding-day coverage do we need?+

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.

Do we need a second photographer?+

Not automatically. A second photographer can be valuable when preparations happen in separate places, the guest count is substantial, or the timeline asks one person to be in two places at once. We’ll decide based on the actual shape of your day—not as a default add-on.

What happens if a camera or lens stops working?+

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.

Do you carry liability insurance?+

Of course. If your venue needs a certificate of liability, I’m happy to provide it.

Do you have a studio?+

I do. It’s just off the West Bottoms and has an open door for consultations, wedding-day preparations, and portraits.
