What should I expect?
How soon do we get the photos?
Are you willing to travel with us to a destination?
How many hours should we plan for our elopement?
How many images are included in the packages?
You get all the best photos in an online gallery!
I deliver between 50-70 photos per hour, sometimes more depending on the day and how much time is spent shooting.
Photos that don't make the cut, i.e. blinking, unflattering pose or angle, bad lighting, etc. are deleted so you only get the best of the best (and bloopers if that's something you dig ;)).
How soon do we get the photos?
Are you willing to travel with us to a destination?
How many hours do we need for our elopement?
How many images are included in the packages?
Most of my couples end up having 8 hour+ elopement days to ensure they have plenty of time for all of their activities without feeling rushed around from event to event.
What's cool about my approach to elopements is that when you book me you have me for the day and we'll figure out a timeline in advance that you can plan on, and if anything goes off schedule you don't have to worry about it one bit because I can be there the whole day!
How soon do we get the photos?
Are you willing to travel with us to a destination?
Do you offer prints and albums?
How many images are included in the packages?
100% yes! If you're taking your celebration out of state or out of country, I'm in! My passport is updated and I'm travel savvy. Plus if you're getting married in a Spanish speaking country, I'm fluent in Spanish (half-Colombian here!) so that's a perk!
How soon do we get the photos?
Are you willing to travel with us to a destination?
Do you offer prints and albums?
How many images are included in the packages?
Elopement galleries are delivered between 1-3 months depending on the time of year and stage of wedding season we are in. I'll give you a real-time update on gallery delivery based on your day!
For portrait sessions, images are delivered within 3-4 weeks during peak season or as fast as a week during slower months.
My goal is to spend time carefully choosing and editing each of your photos and not just rushing through the edits.
