FAQ
Things You may want to know!
Do you travel for shoots?
Yes! I love to travel, especially for YOUR wedding!
Travel fee will be applied to additional miles after 50mi. This rate will be adjusted based on the state average at the time of booking, but will never be more than $0.90!
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, a small non-refundable deposit of $200 is required to secure your date and time. The rest is due on or before the day of the session. I’ll walk you through everything when you book!
Do you shoot photo and video at the same time?
Unfortanlty not! That's too much to juggle, and different equipment! HOWEVER! I not only highly recommend a well-worked-with photographer but also offer 10% OFF on our packages if you book us together!
What should we wear for our session?
Wedding?
No surprises here! You’ll wear your wedding attire! Whether it’s a gown, suit, or something uniquely you, I’ll capture all the beautiful details you’ve chosen for your day. If you have any special accessories, heirlooms, or outfit changes, feel free to let me know so I can plan for them!
Engagement?
For engagement photos, wear something that feels comfortable, confident, and true to your style. Neutral or soft tones photograph beautifully, and coordinating (not matching) outfits tends to look natural. Avoid busy patterns, and consider bringing a second outfit if you’d like variety! One casual and one a little dressier is a great combo (And makes for a variety in your photos!) Most importantly, choose clothing that makes you feel like the REEL you.

This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
Your first shoot is all about feeling comfortable and having fun. When you arrive, I’ll walk you through everything from posing and movement to lighting and angles, so you never have to worry about what to do. We’ll start with a quick chat about what you’re looking for, the vibe you want, and any ideas you’ve brought with you.
During the session, I’ll give simple, easy direction and keep the atmosphere relaxed. You don’t need any experience at all. My job is to help you feel confident and capture moments that feel natural and genuine. If you have outfits, props, or inspiration photos, bring them along, and feel free to ask me anything. By the end, most people are surprised by how easy and enjoyable the whole experience feels, and you’ll walk away with photos or video you’ll be excited about.
If you want it even more relaxed or shorter, I can adjust it.
Can you recommend any good locations?
Absolutely! I’m based in Metro Detroit and can suggest great spots all around the area. I’m happy to find locations near where you live too! Or if you’d rather travel a bit, I can recommend places with different vibes and scenery. If you already have a spot in mind, I’m totally open to your ideas too! Lets get in contact and discuss!
How long does an engagement session take?
Most engagement sessions last about 1 hour! This gives us plenty of time to warm up, explore your locations, and capture a variety of natural, authentic moments without feeling rushed. If you’re planning multiple outfits or locations, we can extend the session for more time to make sure everything feels relaxed and enjoyable!
How soon will I get my photos/videos?
Turnaround time depends on the project! Most photo galleries are delivered within 4-6 weeks, if not, sooner!
Video edits usually take a bit longer, 6-8 weeks!
Long-form/Full-length video add-on edits may take a longer period of time, I’ll always keep you updated during the process!
What happens if the weather is bad on our session day?
If the weather isn’t looking great, we’ll keep in touch and make a plan together. I’m totally flexible and happy to reschedule if the conditions would affect your photos or make you uncomfortable. Sometimes a little overcast or light rain can actually look amazing on camera, so we’ll decide based on what feels right for you and the vibe you want. If we do need to move the session, we’ll pick the earliest date that works for everyone. Your comfort and the quality of your photos always come first.
