FAQ

What is your photography style?

I describe my work as fine-art, editorial, and true-to-color. My approach blends luminous portraits, old-world romance, and natural documentary moments, so your gallery feels cinematic yet timeless. My approach is art directed but never forced.

How many hours of wedding coverage do we need?

Most couples book 8–10 hours of coverage. This allows me to document the full story—from getting ready details and styled flat lays to portraits, ceremony, and the celebration that follows. For multi-day events or destination weddings, I offer extended coverage options.

FAQ

Do you hire a second photographer?

Yes. A dedicated second photographer is included in my full-day collections. This ensures every detail, angle, and moment is documented with precision. I work with a limited amount of trustworthy, highly skilled, and professional photographers that have worked with me for years.

Do you style wedding details and flat lays?

Absolutely, it is one of my favorite ways to start every wedding day - to get my creative energy flowing. I dedicate one hour to detail and flat lay portraits. I bring my curated styling kit with heirloom trays, trinkets, and fine-art accents. Your invitation suite, rings, shoes, and accessories will be photographed with the same editorial care as the rest of your day.

FAQ

When will we receive our final wedding gallery?

You’ll receive a curated sneak peek gallery within 48 hours of your wedding day, so you can relive those first memories right away. Your full gallery will be delivered in 6–8 weeks in a private online gallery.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes! I absolutely love to travel and experience new places. While I am based in Lexington, Kentucky, I regularly serve couples in Louisville, Cincinnati, Nashville, Texas and destinations worldwide. I’ll be in Paris, France this year and love creating art in historic and European-inspired spaces.
