Weddings and Engagements
Hello!
I am a professional videographer and photographer who specializes in outdoor visual storytelling. And that includes your wedding! I primarily use natural light, and make images in a journalistic style that focuses on capturing authentic moments and connections. I have the enthusiasm, tools and creativity to fully tell the story of your special day!

FAQs
Do you work with a second photographer?
A second photographer can be added onto your wedding package if needed. However, a second photographer does not automatically come with your package. I have several great photographers that assist me when needed.
How far will you travel?
Up to 30 miles from Leavenworth WA is included in your engagement session and beyond that it is $1/mile. Up to 60 miles from Leavenworth is included in your wedding package and beyond that it is $1 per mile. If travel time is farther than 2 hours from Leavenworth, then overnight accommodations are needed.
What if timing goes haywire?
I do my best to help you plan your wedding day timeline, but if something happens and you need me to stay, additional coverage can be added on by the half hour at the same rate as when you booked me.
Can we have all the RAW / video files?
I can provide DNG / raw video files upon request, but keep in mind most people do not have the software to open these files. I also take great pride in the final product that I provide you and want to keep the images as consistent and high quality as possible.
Can I get all pictures?
After shooting your session, wedding or event I go through and edit down your images to the professional standard that I give to my clients for a final product. Images that don’t make this standard include: closed eyes, bad smiles, out of focus images and duplicates. You’ll get the rest!
How much editing do you do?
All my images get color corrections and some light touch ups if needed. My goal is always to make the image look as close as possible to how the scene looked to our eyes. That said, if you desire a more 'gritty' or black and white look, just let me know ahead of time. If more drastic retouching is needed, it is available for an additional fee.
What is required to book and process final payment?
A 50% deposit of your package price retainer and a signed contract will reserve me for your wedding date. Final payments are due upon the wedding date. Payments can be delivered by Paypal, Zelle, Venmo or cash.
What if I get sick or am incapacitated?
If I am sick or unable to make it to your wedding, I will do everything within my power to make sure someone of equivalent talent and price will be there for your day. Full refunds of deposits are guaranteed.
Do we have to feed you at the wedding?
Yes please! If coverage is over 5 hours, me and any second shooters / assistants are required to have a meal break. We are fine with vendor meals or whatever you are serving your guests. I recommend that we be served at the same time as the bride and groom so that when they are done eating, we are done as well and can start photographing the next event. If a meal is not provided for us then we require an hour to leave the venue to go get food.
