What is a second shooter?

I deliver fully edited galleries within 2–10 weeks, depending on the photography collection you choose. Sneak peeks are sent within 24 hours so you can share special moments right away.

How many black-and-white photos will you deliver?

This question clarifies how much of your gallery will include black-and-white edits and whether they match your preferences.

What happens if you are unable to photograph our wedding?

This ensures you have a contingency plan, so your wedding photos are still captured, no matter what happens.
