FAQ

How long have you been shooting weddings?

I've been full time for over a decade now. I started my business right out of college and have been shooting ever since. I've shot hundreds of weddings and elopements of every kind since.

How many weddings do you take a year?

Each year is different, but I typically do anywhere from 30 to 40 weddings each season.

Where are you based out of?

Im from the Midwest and call Minneapolis my home. For me, its the perfect small/big city and it gives me a great central location in the country to travel wherever I need to go!

How many images can I expect to get back?

Each wedding is unique so I have no set amount. But since my shooting style is more documentary and candid based, I tend to deliver anywhere between 800-1,000 images.

What is your turnaround time?

For weddings, you will get the photos delivered within 6-8 weeks. For portrait sessions, 2-3 weeks!

Do you edit every image the same?

Yes! Every image gets the same amount of love as the next. When you are looking through your gallery I want it to be a seamless experience and thats why each image delivered will be cohesive with the rest.

What happens if you can't make it to the wedding?

Don't worry, I will be there! In the 10+ years of shooting hundreds of weddings, I have never missed a wedding. However, if there is a situation where I am unable to make it to the wedding, I will let you know ASAP and give you some options. If you have a second photographer in your package, they would be the backup. If you don't have a second photographer, I would find someone locally that is available and present them to you as an option. You would also have the option to forego either of those options and get a full refund in my absence.

Do you give us the RAW images?

No, I do not. And trust me, you don't want them! I shoot anywhere from 5,000-10,000 images on a given wedding. A lot of those are duplicates and a big part of my job post wedding is taking all those images, finding the very best ones, and narrowing things down to a manageable amount that best represents your wedding. Don't worry, we won't leave anything important out!
