The sweet spot is 6 to 18 months in advance. Having plenty of time to craft your dream day takes time and planning. I also use this time to get to know you two as a couple so I can curate your experience. 

Always. I've made photos on all seven continents and shot weddings in Italy, France, across both US coasts, and everywhere in between. I'm happy to go wherever your wedding takes you. Travel costs are included in your quote — no surprise fees, and I handle all my own booking. 

Yes — film is actually my primary medium, and it's included in every package at no additional cost. On a wedding day you will find me with anywhere from 3-6 cameras and a variety of film stocks, each one with it's own distinct flavor and voice. I also shoot digital depending on the light and the moment. 

You'll receive your full gallery within 8–12 weeks. I edit every image by hand and have a lot of film to sort, organize, and scan — it's worth the wait. I'm also a firm believer in letting the memories settle into your heart before you see the images. If you're local, you're welcome to come to my home for an in-person gallery review.

I do — I'm fully licensed and love the perspective drone imagery adds to a wedding day. One thing worth clarifying: I do photography only, no video. The drone captures stunning aerial stills, not footage. Availability depends on location, weather conditions, and local laws and regulations, so I can never guarantee it in advance. When it's possible, I'll make it happen. When it's not, I'll tell you upfront.

Most of my couples tell me they're terrible in front of a camera. They never are. The secret isn't posing — it's presence. I'll guide you gently, give you space to breathe and just be yourselves, and I promise by the end of the day you'll have forgotten I was even there. We'll also probably laugh a lot.

Documentary first — I'm there to witness your day, not direct it. I give gentle guidance when you need it, but mostly I'm watching, waiting, and ready for the real moments.
