FAQ’s

I would be thrilled to work with you, whether you need two hours of coverage or ten. I’m happy to customize a collection that is a perfect fit for your unique day.

Absolutely! My travel fee for weddings that are beyond 70 miles from Lincoln, Nebraska, is $.75/mile, plus the cost of a hotel (if needed). There is no charge for the first 70 miles. I have photographed weddings in all of the surrounding states, plus one really amazing wedding in New York! Cities within a 70-mile radius of Lincoln include Omaha, Beatrice, Seward, Fremont, and Wahoo.

Yes, I rotate between a few second photographers/assistants who are absolutely wonderful! They are available to assist with lighting, organize groups, and shoot from a different perspective to capture those behind-the-scenes moments that I’m not always available for.

Your full gallery of edited digital files is available within a month of the wedding. Engagement images are available approximately two weeks after the session. All images are delivered through your private online gallery.

This varies so much based on the events of the day. The average for an eight-hour wedding day is approximately 500 final edited images. Most engagement sessions include approximately 70 edited images.

Yes, I have both business liability insurance and insurance for all of my equipment. I am happy to provide a certificate of liability for your venue upon request.

I shoot with Canon R6 Mk. II camera bodies and an assortment of Canon professional lenses. My favorite lenses are the Canon RF 70-200 2.8L and Canon RF 85 1.2L. I have plenty of backups as well as professional lighting gear.

I photographed my first wedding in 2003 as a college student. I’ve been a full-time photographer since 2009 and have photographed over 400 weddings. Best job ever.

It would have to be an extreme situation for me not to make it to a wedding. I take the responsibility of photographing your wedding very seriously, and in the very unlikely event I am unable to be at the wedding, I have an extensive network of photographers who are willing and more than capable to take over. I can promise you will be well taken care of!

I also do not work with associate photographers—meaning I never book multiple weddings for the same date and sub-contract the weddings to other photographers. If I am unavailable for your date, I’ll happily send you referrals to other photographers that I trust.

A non-refundable retainer of $1000 ($500 for elopements and micro-weddings) is due at the time of booking. The remaining balance is due two weeks before the wedding.

The Process

01.

Inquire and reserve your date

First, get in touch to check my availability for your wedding date. I’ll get back to you right away with more information, including detailed pricing, and we can set up a time to talk through your wedding plans.

If you are ready to move forward with booking, you can easily sign a contract and pay the retainer online.

If you want to include an engagement session, we can also get this scheduled.

02.

Plan and prepare for your day

Before your wedding, I’m all in to help with whatever you may need. Whether you need advice on your wedding day timeline or referrals to other vendors, just ask. I’ve been to a lot of weddings, and am happy to share my experience.

A month before the wedding, I will be in touch to finalize details. At this point, I send a questionnaire that requests all the information we need to make the day run smoothly. It’s also a great time to schedule a call if you need a little guidance.

Finally, I will check in again a couple of days before the wedding once we have a clear idea of the forecast and any last-minute plans.

03.

Enjoy your wedding

On the wedding day, your only job is to relax and enjoy the day. We’ve got this! Our job is to be sure everything runs smoothly and that you get amazing photos in the process.

Your full gallery of edited photos will be ready within one month of your wedding. I remove duplicates, test shots, anything unflattering, and the rare instance when I accidentally take a photo of my feet. From there, I carefully edit each image individually to make sure the color, composition, and exposure are perfect.

The digital image files will be available to download through my gallery website, and you are welcome to share them with friends and family.
