Good to know
You can relax. I’ve got this.
Planning a wedding already has enough moving parts. These are the questions couples ask me most often — answered simply, so you can picture what it feels like to have me there.
Real questions. Honest answers.
Nothing stiff or mysterious.
Feeling comfortable
We feel awkward in front of a camera. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Most of my couples tell me the same thing. I’ll offer clear, gentle direction when it helps, then make space for you to be yourselves and for the real moments to happen.
What are you like to have around on a wedding day?
Warm, relaxed and focused. I’ll be close enough to notice what matters, calm when the day gets busy and never interested in turning your wedding into an all-day photo shoot.
How would you describe the way you photograph a wedding?
I look for honest emotion, beautiful light and the people who make the day yours. Every photograph is edited for consistent colour and contrast while keeping the moment authentic.
What happens if it rains?
Rain is part of Vancouver, and it can be beautiful. We keep the plan flexible and use the light, architecture and weather creatively instead of treating rain as a ruined day.
Planning the day
Will you help us choose where to take photographs?
Yes. I’ll listen to what you’re drawn to, share ideas and scout around the week of the wedding. I also map the locations for the day so the route is easier, safer and more efficient.
How many hours of photography do we need?
A useful starting point is coverage from 30–60 minutes before you get dressed until a couple of songs into the dance floor. We’ll shape the consecutive hours around the story you want remembered.
Do you photograph weddings outside Vancouver?
Yes. I photograph weddings across British Columbia and destinations worldwide. Tell me where you’re planning to celebrate and I’ll include the relevant travel details when we talk.
Can we see a complete wedding gallery before booking?
Absolutely. A complete gallery is the best way to see consistency from getting ready through the dance floor — not only a small collection of favourite portraits.
Photographs & booking
How many photographs will we receive?
As a guide, I deliver an average of 45–50 finished photographs for each hour of wedding coverage. The final number follows the day rather than a rigid quota.
Are the photographs edited? Can we have the RAW files?
Every delivered photograph is individually finished for colour, contrast and consistency. The edited images are the final work, so RAW files are not included.
How are our files protected after the wedding?
I keep the RAW files for five years and maintain backups in three places: computer, RAID storage and Google Drive.
What officially reserves our wedding date?
Your date is secured once the contract is signed and the 50% retainer for your chosen collection is received. To begin, send your date, venue or city and a little about the two of you.
