10 to 12 weeks. I am quite particular when it comes to editing and colour correction. I want to make sure that the whole gallery is perfectly cohesive. Specific attention is given to each photo at a time which means no filters or “copy and paste” edits making the final product, achieving true cohesion and perfection.

How long does it take to get my photos?

I recommend having two outfits if you can swing it. A dressy outfit. And a little more casual one. Remember, this is a photoshoot so it is a heightened sense of reality. Make sure that you choose outfits that you feel comfortable in but also look fabulous. You don’t want anything to distract from you guys and your chemistry in the photos but rather adds to the aesthetic and vibe. A few quick notes for outfits: Fabrics with movement and flow can add an element of softness to a photo (eg. Flowy skirts, dresses, pants etc). I would try to avoid being too “matchy matchy” with each other. Stay away from tiny patterns (they don’t always translate well on photos) and distracting elements like large logos. Try layering accessories like jackets, scarves to create “fake outfit changes” and variety. 

What should we wear for our engagement shoot? 

Yes, I include two photographers with all wedding packages. This ensures the most diverse and best coverage. We divide and conquer, split up in the morning so one of us will be with each of you and then come together to get two sets of creative mind on the rest of the day. 

Do you include two photographers in your packages?

Absolutely! I use the skills I learned as a tour guide and gymnastics/ski coach to direct groups quickly and efficiently all while having a smile on my face. This portion is meant to be quick, easy and painless. 

Can you handle tricky family groupings for photos?

The first thing you’ll receive is an online gallery with a highlights video (about 100 photos) and your downloadable Full Wedding Gallery. This is the best first way to see your photos and a great way to share with your family and friends. You will also receive a beautiful crystal USB with your Highlights Slideshow and your Full Wedding Gallery of 800+ fully edited print ready photographs. 

What do we get with the wedding collections?

Absolutely I will. I find interacting with each other and myself through movement and just being yourselves is going to get you fabulous results. I’m also very conscious about body positioning and will absolutely help you through how to look your best in the photos. 

Will you help us pose through the photos?

Absolutely! Just let me know which vendors you are still searching for and I’d be happy to recommend some great companies that I’ve worked with in the past. You can also check in on my Instagram page for specific vendor tags you may be looking for.

Do you have any vendor recommendation for us?

 I love a bright and airy aesthetic with an elevated quality to it. I want your photographs to embody a heightened sense of reality; to be truly timeless and elegant with an editorial flair. To achieve this I focus on getting it right in camera first! Then I’ll elevate the “punchiness” of things like colour and contrast all while making sure to not cross that fine line where things become trendy, or unrealistic. I stay away from using filters and make sure to edit each photo one at a time giving them the attention they need to complete a truly cohesive body of work. 

How would you describe your editing style?

Ideally, it’s nice to have natural light to work with. However, this is not always the case. But fear not, we are very experienced with using flashes in darker or less than ideal lighting situations. In this case, it’s best to also look for a photo location that has more natural light for your portraits.

My venue is dark and doesn’t have natural light, will this be an issue?

A first look, or reveal is a scheduled opportunity for the two of you to see each other for the first time all done up before the actual ceremony. It replaces the “first look” while one of you walks down the aisle. Benefits of doing a first look: It can alleviate a little bit of the nervous energy of the day before the ceremony. First looks are great if you have a later ceremony because you can do all of your portraits before then. This also means that you can enjoy cocktail hour with your guests. If you prefer the traditional route of seeing each other at the ceremony for the first time, that moment is pretty darn special! This is a great option if you are having an earlier ceremony with lots of time in between the ceremony and the reception.  

What is a first look and should we do one?

That’s fantastic news. In order to solidify your date I require a nonrefundable retainer of 30% and a signed contract. That’s it and the day is yours. 

OK, we are ready to book, now what?

Well the beauty of full day coverage is that it’s flexible coverage of up to 12 hours. This means that if you are running half an hour behind you don’t have to worry about us leaving early. We will be there to try to help you get back on track and we will be there to capture every important moment on the day. If you find you need more than the 12 hours you can always add additional hours on the day of. 

What happens if our day is running late?
