Q & A

Answers to the most commonly asked questions!

How would you describe your style?

I consider myself a wedding photojournalist above all else. While portraits are important, my main focus will be on capturing the story of your day, as it unfolds, without directing or staging. The epic moments, the beautiful moments and especially the messy moments–all are elements that tell the story of your day and make the photos I take as unique as the both of you. Above all else, I want people to feel something when they look at your photos.

I am an extremely laid back, go-with-the-flow photographer. Rain or shine, bad light and good, none of it is bad because it is part of the story of your day and nothing can stop me from finding beautiful ways to frame your unique story.

While I take charge when necessary (hello family photos!), I prefer to take a fly-on-the-wall approach. I connect quickly with both my clients and their families which creates a casual, relaxed atmosphere that continues throughout the day. I’m not into complicated poses and unending direction–instead, I keep things playful and moving.

I’m not looking for perfect… I’m looking for you.

How do we book you?

I make everything really easy; simply reach out and let’s have a chat. If we connect and the chemistry is right it’s time to book! In order to confirm your date, a retainer of 25% of your approved quote is to be paid as well as your contract signed. The balance is due 4 weeks ahead of your wedding date. All payments and contracts are taken care of electronically. Please note–since COVID hit us I have been working on a degree (BSc Psychology for those interested!), and for this reason am taking an extremely limited number of weddings each year and may occasionally take a little longer to respond to inquiries!! I apologize in advance.

Where do you live, anyway!?

I call homebase Sudbury, Ontario, however the majority of my client base is located in Toronto. Because of this it’s often difficult for our first meeting to be in person but we can chat on the phone or even Facetime! Once we’ve had the chance to chat, and if we click, we can then schedule an in person meeting! I offer discounts for Sudbury weddings because I just LOVE not having to travel.

 How long will it take to see our photos?

I promise 8-10 weeks, though often they are ready much, much sooner. Each delivered photo is hand edited and this process takes time.

Do you recommend a second shooter?

99.9% of my weddings are shot alone. I love shooting alone as it allows me to immerse myself in the day and just flow with everything without having to worry about where someone else is or what they’re doing. That being said I do have wonderful second shooters that I hire when a wedding necessitates it.  

What can we expect to invest?

Full wedding day packages, including your digital files, start at $3600 and with add-ons can range up to $8600 and beyond. For more detailed pricing, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I also have special pricing for weekdays and packages that don’t include digital files which are more modestly priced. Digital files can always be added to your registry if you know you would like them in the future!

I only accept a limited number of weddings each year (especially now) so book early! I believe in quality over quantity which ensures I can give my clients the attention they deserve.

Do you have less expensive, smaller options?

I do! I have hourly rates & special elopement rates for those weddings that don’t fit the typical timeline; however prime dates (Saturdays from May-October) are not included in these offers. Special rates can often be had for weekday and Sunday weddings. I also have special offers for weddings booked 2 months from your wedding date! Please enquire for more info.

Are there travel fees?

For any weddings within Sudbury or Toronto there is no added fee. For weddings more than one and a half hours outside of one of these cities a charge of $200 will be added and hotel room for one or two nights.

For weddings outside of Ontario and international destinations (excluding Miami) the travel fee is generally the cost of my flight and 3 nights of accommodation and car rental if needed.

I can provide you with a travel quote and all arrangements are booked by myself.

Do you have public liability insurance?

Yes, of course! Just let me know if the venue you have hired requires it and I will be sure to bring the proper documents.

Do you have back up gear?

tons of it! 

Can you help us in the wedding planning process?

I am always glad to help in any way I can. If you need any help throughout the timeline process, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here for you.
