Wedding and Lifestyle Photography in Northwest Ohio

Yes! Wherever your love takes you, I will be there! The first 100 miles roundtrip of travel are included in my packages, and all miles excess of 100 miles roundtrip are charged at $0.67 per mile. For travel over 150 miles from my official address, hotel expenses must be paid by the client. For locations over 400 miles from my official address, airfare, lodging, and auto-transportation must be paid for by the client.

I will never give out unedited or RAW files. You are paying for an experience where the final results are included!

You can expect to receive 50-75 photos per hour of coverage! 

Of course! I highly encourage each of my couples to check out my gallery page before booking! This will give you a transparent look into what to expect on your wedding day! 

For your engagement photos, you can expect to receive them within 2-3 weeks following the session date. You will typically receive your wedding photos within 8-12 weeks of your wedding day, but you’ll receive sneak peek photos within 24-48 hours of your shoot and/or wedding day! 

We plan for it and then embrace it! I always recommend having a plan for rain on your wedding day, whether that’s having umbrellas handy or an indoor place to shoot if the forecast looks unpredictable!  For regular sessions, if rain is in the forecast, we’ll more than likely reschedule your session! I have super high expectations and believe that your photos will always look best when captured while we’re all comfortable! 

Always! I am very proactive in making sure all my gear is in working order before the morning of your wedding, but things can always happen so I’m sure to bring a backup along! 

Having a second shooter is up to you and your needs! I am confident that I can capture your wedding day on my own, but I usually recommend having a second shooter at your wedding, especially for the ceremony because it’s a great way to cover more ground and get shots from multiple angles! If you’re having a smaller wedding or eloping a second shooter might not be necessary. Adding a second shooter to your wedding day is $50/hour with a 4-hour minimum ($200 total). I recommend having the second shooter present for the morning up until the entrances at the reception!

Yes!!! A month before the big day, I’ll reach out with a wedding day questionnaire to get more detailed information from you including your shot list, if you choose to do any first looks, etc. I will begin by sending a tentative timeline and switch it up as needed! If you have a wedding day coordinator and they help you create the timeline, I ask that you have them send it to me prior to your wedding day! You can also make your own timeline if you choose and I will include how much time to expect to need for portraits in the handbook! While a timeline can be great, I also think it's super important to let your day flow and not stress over it! It is strictly a guide to ensure we have the time to encompass each special moment of your day – and make sure your partner is on time to the ceremony! 😉

Of course! I offer a 60-minute engagement session with the package which serves a double purpose for us to get to know each other before your wedding day! It can also be a super helpful insight to how I prompt my couples rather than posing them! 

Every single couple I work with comes into the engagement session completely nervous, so you are not alone! I’ll help you feel relaxed and laugh because when you feel at ease, it makes space for FABULOUS photos. I also have a guide that covers what to expect during your shoot, tips on what to wear, and how to stay relaxed during your session so you can walk away with photos that you love.

I have an entire Wedding Handbook that I’ll send you full of tips. I’ll also help you create your photo timeline to ensure the day runs seamlessly and we have time for all the photos you’ll ever need!

Yes! For wedding packages, I offer a 10% discount if you decide to pay in full.

To reserve your date, I require a signed contract and a 35% non-refundable deposit fee.

Backing up and protecting your images starts prior to your wedding day. I ensure that all cards, cameras, lenses, gear, etc are in working order. My camera has dual (two) card slots that write to both SD cards on your wedding day so in the unlikely event that one were to become corrupted, the second card as a backup! Upon my arrival home, Ibackup your photos to 2 separate external hard drives before editing your sneak peeks. Once the cards are backed up, they’re then secured in a fireproof safe. One hard drive comes with me everywhere while the other remains in my office. I take the backup of your photos super seriously and have spent a lot of time making sure my system is fool-proof so your moments are always in good hands with me!
