Frequently asked questions
Whether it's a wedding, a special event, or just wanting to get professional photos for yourself, I'm there for you. When you take me on as your photographer, I will go above and beyond and make sure that you feel confident in your decision. If you have a random question, need to just talk out loud to another person - you name it, I've got your back.
Where are you based, and do you travel for weddings and photoshoots?
I’m based in New York City, but I love to travel! Whether your wedding is in the city, upstate, or across the country, I’m more than happy to join you. Travel fees may apply for locations outside of NYC, which we can discuss during your consultation.
How would you describe your photography style?
My style is a blend of photojournalism, fashion and fine art, capturing candid moments as they unfold naturally while also creating beautiful, timeless portraits. I aim to document the genuine emotions and unique story of your day with a focus on authenticity and artistry.
How far in advance should we book you?
It’s best to book as soon as you have your date set. I typically book weddings 6-12 months in advance and personal photoshoots 1-2 weeks in advance. However, if your date is sooner, feel free to reach out—I may still be available!
What’s included in your wedding photography packages?
All wedding packages include a pre-wedding consultation, full-day coverage, an online gallery with high-resolution images. I also offer options for engagement sessions, second photographers, and custom albums. I’m happy to tailor a package to suit your needs.
Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes, I offer engagement sessions either as part of a wedding package or as a standalone service. Engagement sessions are a great way for us to get to know each other and for you to feel comfortable in front of the camera before your big day.
How many photos will we receive, and how long does it take to get them?
For a 10h weddings, you can expect to receive 600-800 edited images, while personal sessions typically yield 50-100 images. I deliver a sneak peek within a week of the shoot, and the full gallery is usually ready within 6-8 weeks for weddings and 7-10 days for personal sessions.
How do we book you, and what’s the payment process?
To secure your date, a signed contract and a 25% retainer are required. The remaining balance is due on the day of the shoot, regardless of the type of shoot. Payments can be made via Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, or Revolut for my clients from Europe.
What if we need to reschedule or cancel?
Life happens! If you need to reschedule, I’m flexible as long as my calendar allows. If you cancel, the retainer is non-refundable but can be applied toward a future date if rescheduled within a year. Specific terms will be outlined in our contract.
Do you provide RAW images?
I do not provide RAW images, as I believe part of my service is the careful curation and editing of your photos. However, you will receive a beautifully edited selection of high-resolution images ready for printing and sharing.
Can we meet before booking?
Absolutely! I’d love to meet you over coffee or via a Zoom call to discuss your vision, answer any questions, and see if we’re a good fit. A consultation is the best way to ensure I’m the right photographer for you.
How should we prepare for our photoshoot?
I’ll guide you through the entire process, from choosing the perfect location to outfit suggestions. For personal sessions, the most important thing is to relax and be yourself. For weddings, I’ll work closely with you or your planner to ensure everything runs smoothly.
