Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes you different from other photographers?
-
I think my best characteristic is my ability to create a welcoming, fun session. I’ve been honored to work with more than 100 brides over the past 15 years, and I handle every wedding with grace, precision, and skill. Any last-minute wedding-day pitfalls: I understand them. Tricky lighting issues? I can handle it. Giggly kids? I love them. When you work with me, your wedding becomes your love legacy. A legacy you’ll be able to hold and share for years to come.
- How did you get started in photography?
-
I have always enjoyed photography. I began my photography career in high school taking classes and working for a local photography studio. In college, I studied journalism and worked as a newspaper photographer for three years before I started running my own photography business.
I loved the energy I felt during my first photojournalism assignment, and I've been chasing that dream ever since. I get the same thrill with each wedding ceremony I capture. For the past 15 years, I’ve been capturing these special moments in northern Utah. I love getting to know my couples and their families. I also enjoy leading photography workshops and mentoring new photographers. - What makes your style unique?
-
I find that being natural is often better than being over processed. I don’t succumb to every photography fad out there. I want my photos to be timeless, so I have a more natural looking exposure and post-processing than some other photographers. You’ll be able to hold one of my photos in 10 or 20 years and not feel that it’s dated.
- What is your turnaround time?
-
Turnaround time is two weeks for engagement and bridal sessions and four weeks for weddings. Around this time we will schedule your viewing and ordering appointment.
- How many photos will we get back?
-
Every session and wedding is different but generally clients can expect 60-90 images for engagement and bridal sessions to choose from and 200+ photographs from the wedding day.
- Do you offer professional prints and albums?
-
Yes! A professionally designed family heirloom album is an easy add on to your wedding package. Archival quality wall art and prints are also available to display larger artwork in your home.
- Do you offer digital files?
-
Yes! Each package includes high resolution digital files that you can download to your computer. You will also get a print release so you can print and share your photos.
- Do you travel?
-
Yes, absolutely, I am based in South Jordan, Utah but I love traveling for weddings. Contact me for additional info on availability and travel rates.
- I'm ready to book, what's next?
