FAQ

+ DO YOU TRAVEL?

Absolutely! I’m based in Asheville, North Carolina. I would love to travel for your wedding! My guide has travel included in the pricing.

For photoshoots that are 50 mi+ outside of Asheville, the extra mileage is calculated at $1.50 a mile.

+ WHEN SHOULD I BOOK YOU?

As soon as you’ve settled on a wedding date and booked your venue (if you have one) is when you should book your wedding photographer. Most couples book their wedding photographer about 6-12 months from their wedding day, however, there's never a wrong time to reach out to check if I have your date open!

+ ARE YOU INSURED?

Absolutely! I'm insured with general and liability insurance. This is an important question to ask all your wedding vendors.

+ HOW DO I RESERVE MY DATE?

Securing your date is easy. A date is reserved with a non-refundable retainer along with a signed agreement form. The retainer is non-refundable due to turning away potential business for the same date.

+ DO I NEED A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER FOR MY WEDDING?

I would recommended adding a second shooter onto your wedding package if your wedding is 8+ hours and/or are hoping for a wider variety of photos from different angles.

+ WILL YOU DIRECT ME ON POSING?

Yes, definitely! It’s totally normal to feel nervous in front of the camera. I do a lot of directing at shoots so you don’t have to worry. I’ll offer guidance and actions to shoot in a more candid style. Once we start shooting and warm up, you’ll relax and have a good time! If there's anything you'd like me to know, please do! I'll keep it in mind when shooting with you!

+ WHEN + HOW ARE THE PHOTOS DELIVERED? IS THERE A PRINT RELEASE?

I have your online gallery ready within 2-3 weeks for portrait sessions, and 6-8 weeks for wedding galleries. All images are high resolution and fully edited. They're delivered to a digital online gallery where you can easily order prints/albums/and other goods directly through your gallery.

Yes! Every package includes a print release, so you can print your photos at any third-party store. Just keep in mind that lower-quality printers (like those at Walmart, Walgreens, or Target) may not provide the same color accuracy and quality that my professional print company guarantees. I highly recommend ordering thru your online gallery to avoid any issues!

+ HOW MANY PHOTOS ARE DELIVERED?

I include as many as possible, I don’t limit myself to a maximum or minimum amount, and I tend to over deliver because I don’t want you to miss a thing. I include the best photos meaning I cull photos with blinking, talking, or duplicates of the same image.

+ WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY SESSION?

I’ve put together a What to Wear guide for you to check out. You can send me a pic the outfit(s) you’re considering, and I’d love to help!

+ WHAT DO I DO IF IT RAINS?

I highly recommend ordering clear bubble umbrellas for your wedding day. These umbrellas are absolutely adorable! They are great for photos because they are transparent, which allows me to capture see your face in photos. We will also watch the weather closely on shoot day.

+ DO YOU SELL PROFESSIONAL FLAT LAY ALBUMS?

Yes! You can seamlessly order high quality prints, flat lay albums, and more directly through your gallery. Or you can add it to your wedding package, and I can design it for you to approve or adjust before I order it for you!

+ WILL YOU RELEASE THE RAW IMAGES?

No raws files are released. Without editing, images aren’t ready for delivery. All images are delivered fully edited in style of LRP.

+ IS IT POSSIBLE TO ADD ONTO THE PACKAGE LATER AFTER ALREADY BOOKED?

Yes, definitely! Depending on the package, some people choose to add on a second outfit for their engagement, more hours, and/or a second shooter for their wedding day. We make some adjustments to the contract and we are good to go!

+ WE DON’T WANT OUR IMAGES ON YOUR WEBSITE/ PLATFORMS.

In this scenario we sign a contract with some different clauses. Because I lose potential business when I can’t share new work, for this arrangement there’s an additional $2,000 fee on top of the package.

+ WHAT ARE SOME ADD-ONS?

You have the option to add on a second shooter to your wedding package, more hours to your timeline, a day after wedding portrait session, an engagement session, rehearsal coverage, and more. Let me know what you're thinking of adding, and I’ll send you my pricing guide info with all the details!
