Services

Four ways I work.

Each project starts the same: listen, plan, shoot, deliver. Below is what's available.

weddings

The day you'll want to remember in detail.

Weddings demand presence. Couples book film, photo, or both. For elopements, intimate days and smaller weddings, I can shoot photo and film myself. For a full-size wedding, Hybrid Day + 2nd Shooter or a Full Team covers both, with everyone working from one plan — one style, one point of contact. The edit favors story over symmetry. You get the candid laughs and the quiet seconds, not just the posed lineups.

What's included

  • Film, photography, hybrid, or a full photo team + film team
  • Coverage from 4 to 10 hours, depending on the tier
  • Day-of timeline planning
  • With film: a cinematic film; with photography: an edited online gallery

Process

  • Discovery call to understand the day
  • Engagement or pre-wedding shoot (optional)
  • Day-of coverage with timeline support
  • Photos in 2–4 weeks, film within 6 weeks, often sooner (typical, confirmed in your quote)

05 / Process

How we work together.

From first email to delivery, here's what to expect.

1

Reach out

Tell me about your project: date, location, vision. I read every inquiry personally and respond within 24 hours.

2

Get the details

I'll send pricing, packages, and a deeper look at how I work. No pressure, no auto-replies.

3

We talk it through

Quick discovery call to align on creative direction, timeline, and what success looks like for you.

4

Lock the date

Sign the contract and send the retainer. A 30% retainer reserves your date. The retainer is non-refundable and applied to your total.

5

Show up and shoot

I arrive prepared. We work through the timeline together. You stay present, I handle the rest.

6

Deliver the work

Events in about 1 week, wedding photos in 2–4 weeks, wedding films within 6 weeks, often sooner. Typical delivery, confirmed in your quote.

06 / Included

What's included with every project.

Standard across all services. Custom packages may add or extend these.

Pre-project call to align on creative direction, timeline, and key moments. I read the brief, then we talk it through.

At weddings I lead the film and a dedicated photographer shoots stills under my direction. Everywhere else I shoot photo and film myself, scoped to the job. Backup gear always on hand.

Every image hand-edited. No auto-presets. The edit favors story over symmetry.

Private password-protected gallery for sharing and downloading full-resolution files. Yours forever.

Events: same-day selects. Wedding sneak peek photos and video teasers are available as add-ons.

Events in about 1 week. Wedding photos in 2–4 weeks, wedding films within 6 weeks, often sooner. Typical delivery, confirmed in your quote.

Full personal print release on all delivered images. Print, frame, share. No restrictions.

Hybrid photo + video offered on every service. Same shoot, two unified deliverables.
