Q: ​What are ‘romantics’?
A:​ Your ‘romantics’ are the portraits between the bride + groom. I love to make sure we have at least 45 minutes to an hour blocked out on your wedding day to capture your romantics. These portraits will be cherished and loved for years to come and even shared with your grandkids someday, so we definitely don’t want to rush them!

Q: ​What are ‘bridals’?
A:​ This is also a modern day bridal tradition where you and your groom have your first look BEFORE the wedding. Not just before your ceremony, this can be days, weeks or months in advance to your wedding. Bridals allow for an entire 2-3 hour session in your wedding attire up in the mountains, snow, a huge field, wherever you can imagine basically!! Bridals are a great option for brides and grooms who don’t have a good venue for photos, or who simply want more romantics and just want to go on a grand adventure!! What's really fun is that you would be able to print out photos from your Bridal session and have them displayed at your ceremony + reception. Depending on your package, bridals are included if you choose to partake in this new tradition, and if it’s not in your package, it can be easily added on!!!

Q: ​When will I get to see my wedding collection?
A:​ According to the date of your wedding, and our agreed contract, your wedding day collection will be ready before or no later by 8 weeks past your wedding date.

Q: ​Will I get to pick my wedding photos that get edited?
A:​ This is like opening up your Christmas presents on Easter to me!! While some photographers allow you to pick and choose which photos you’d like edited, I truly believe you’ve hired me for my expertise, eye, and style. When I first look through your wedding collection, I pick and choose which photos are telling the story, have emotion, raw genuine smiles or tears, that are in focus, and that the composition is perfect. You can trust me to pick and choose the absolute best photos to add to you final edits.

Q: ​How do I know if the lighting will be good or not during my romantics/family/ceremony photos?
A:​ Lucky for us, this is a simple problem that can be fixed in my post processing (all that crazy editing I do!). The only exception is harsh light with zero shade to hide in. This is usually more of an issue with my California weddings, and not my Washington State weddings ;). Either way, you hired an over experienced gal with knowledge in both situations. I will say that it’s better to photograph your romantics, bridal party photos, and family photos ​before​ the sunshine is up in the sky (usually between 1:30pm - 3:00pm).

Q: ​I’m really nervous to be in front of the camera, I hate getting my picture taken.
A:​ ME TOO. No actually though. I hate being in the front of the camera! So I can totally relate!! Getting you out of your comfort zone is as easy as 1, 2 & 3. I’d like to think of myself as a super bubbly, and outgoing photographer who strives to make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. How do I do it? I don’t just want to be your wedding photographer, but your best friend! Making that connection with my clients is so important to me, because I want to capture your absolute most genuine smiles, laughter and tears. Not your typical ‘smile for the camera’ photo. Just know that we’re going to have a lot of fun!!!
