Every photographer does things a little differently so it’s good that you read on to get to know my style, approach, and the overall experience when booking with me!
Firstly, I am a pretty laid back individual, and I think I use that to my advantage on wedding days. Weddings are nuts. Planning a wedding is an insane thing to do to yourself. I’m here to be that guiding voice that says “its okay! we’re not gonna die! Everything is good!”
With that being said, I think its incredibly important for you to know that there are NO rules when planning your wedding. Wedding traditions are kinda weird, right? “hey lets both hold this knife together and then awkwardly cut this cake together and then stare at each other in a confused manner”. Who invented that? I always encourage couples to do whatever they want (emphasis on the they) even If that means that you do really want to cut a cake together! Do you! Its so, so, so important that when you get to your wedding day, you just fully “chill” and actually truly, genuinely, enjoy the day. You’ll make true memories and it will really show in the photo’s.
My photography approach follows a similar mindset. I like to float around and capture people as they truly are. I like engaging with guests, immersing myself into the day, and making sure that I’m delivering you a gallery that actually feels like how your wedding day felt. For this reason, there’s no limit on the amount of photo’s I deliver - I simply deliver as many as I feel are needed to showcase the day (don’t worry, it’ll be plenty!). I truly love doing this and hope to capture humans being humans until I die.
Please let me know as much as you can about you and your wedding day when inquiring. I’m so stoked to hear from you!
Frequently Asked Q’s that might need A’s:
How long have you been a photographer?
A long time.
What do we wear if we do an engagement shoot?
I have a style guide I can send your way with some helpful tips! Generally speaking, I always suggest that you wear whatever you feel cool in. Look like you!
How much editing is included?
All of the photo’s you receive will be edited to my style and minimal touch ups (pimple removal) will be done. I don’t alter how people look with photoshop or anything like that.
Can we get the RAW files?
I do not deliver RAW files.
What if it’s raining on our wedding day?
Embrace it! I always encourage couples to let the day happen as it will. If its a downpour, lets do some cool rain shots and get a little gross! Or, lets get some umbrellas or newspapers and try to stay as dry as possible! Alternatively, we can always find a last minute indoor photo location if needed.
Where should we do our shoot?
I love when people choose locations that have meaning to them, even if they aren’t the most “picturesque” spots. That being said, keeping it simple for locations also goes a long way and if you’re stuck - i’ll happily recommend some spots!
Where are you?
I live in Hamilton, Ontario. I don’t travel for weddings any more so I only take on weddings that are local to me. By local, all I mean is that its at least a few hours driving distance to where I’m at!
Will you help us plan?
For sure! I’m always happy to offer any advice I can when it comes to the timeline of the day.
When do we get our photo’s?
For engagement shoots, the turnaround time is generally 2-3 weeks and for weddings it’s 5-8 weeks.
Do you dress up on wedding days?
This actually isn’t a frequently asked question but I thought i’d note on it. I don’t really dress up for wedding days. I don’t look like a slob (for the most part) either. I just dress as nicely and more importantly, comfortably as I can. It’s important for me to be as free flowing as possible and that can sometimes be difficult in a tux.
Do we feed you dinner?
You do! We’ll take care of ourselves with snacks and the like up until dinner.
What is your favourite donut?
Currently it is the Boston cream from Grandads donuts. I hope this doesn’t alter your thoughts about me.
Lets get to booking! I only offer two packages, both of which are customizable to your needs. You’ll see the adjustments available below!
HOURS.
Hours is the most common question I get asked. “How many hours do we need? What if we miss this? What happens if we need more on the day of?”. All valid questions. I think its vital that you don’t have your photographer show up too early. Generally speaking, 1 hour of prep is more than enough and I’ll still be sharp by the time the dancing starts. If i’m shooting prep for 4 hours? Maybe not so much - ha! If on your wedding day things are running late (as they often do) and you need more hours, we’ll simply have a verbal agreement as to how many additional hours you need, and that’s it that’s all! Do. Not. Worry. Do not worry about things being missed, don’t even think about any of that stuff. It goes back to just truly shutting your brain off and enjoying your day. You are going to be so stoked on what you receive!
