Your wedding day

who will be photographing our wedding day?

Me, of course! I do not hire out your wedding day. You are putting your trust in me to capture your big day and I will be there.

If your collection includes a second photographer, I will bring someone who is trained in my style and will produce stylistically similar images.

how many hours do you recommend for wedding day portraits?

That largely depends on two factors-- how many family portraits you'd like to do and whether or not you plan to do a first look.
For family portraits, plan to allot 3-5 minutes per group.
Bridal party portraits can take 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of your party.

Ideally, bride and groom portraits can be taken at/ after the first look and again around sunset, for a total of 30-60 minutes.
These are all things I work in to your custom wedding day timeline.

do we have to do a first look?

Absolutely not! Some photographers require clients to do a first look, as it does allow for more bride/ groom portraits. However, I've heard countless grooms talk about that moment they first see their bride and how they've imagined that moment for a long time. I can't fathom taking that moment away from anyone. We will do whatever you feel comfortable doing.

what should I expect from you on my wedding day?

More than the standard photographer stuff like coming prepared, posing people, and capturing moments.

I pride myself on being there for both of you to handle whatever needs done. I'm not there merely as a photographer, but also a friend. I've buttoned dresses, passed on messages, entertained kiddos, fixed veils, and pinned countless boutonnieres. I will help however I can, while also keeping an eye on the timeline, communicating with vendors, capturing your laughter and your tears, and celebrating your love with you both.

what if something happens and you can't make it to my wedding?

I assure you that the absolute most important thing on my calendar will be your wedding. I take my commitment to you both very seriously, and the last thing I would ever want to do is be absent at your wedding.
However, life does happen. Should I or someone close to me end up in the hospital, I do have a contingency plan.

I work with an amazing network of QCA and Chicago photographer friends who would step in to help, if necessary.
