FAQs

My goal is to keep things simple, efficient, and streamlined for my clients. Once you reach out through my contact page, I’ll email you with full pricing information and to schedule a consultation. In our meeting, we’ll discuss your wedding plans, my experience and expertise, and your needs. We’ll also make sure we’re a great fit because come wedding day, we’re going to be spending a LOT of time together.
Once you let me know which services fit your wedding day the best, I’ll draw up a contract for us. Your signed contract and retainer payment of 50% of your collection ensures your date is locked in on my calendar, and then the real fun begins!
When photographing, I use cameras that have two memory card slots. This allows me to have a backup available right away should something happen to one card (knock on wood).
When I get home, I copy of your files to my computer, an external hard drive, and on a cloud server right away. I always ensure that I have at least three copies of your photos at all times.
I travel all the time! Living in the country, I joke that we’re 45 minutes away from everything. In actuality, I’ve traveled across Iowa, the Midwest, and the USA for weddings. Local travel fees begin one hour outside of Des Moines (or my home, whichever is closer to you venue), and I’m more than happy to provide a custom quote for anything beyond the Iowa borders.
Looking to go International? Sign me up! I’m always ready to grab my passport, pack my camera in a carry-on, and hit the road for your nuptials. (Cue Frodo running away from the Shire for an adventure.)
With all engagement sessions and weddings, I provide preview images within 48-hours. For your engagement photos, your gallery will be delivered within 2 weeks. Wedding galleries are sent to you 6-8 weeks following your wedding day.
Absolutely! I believe that your photos should be turned into tangible memories to fill your walls and your heart. I offer prints directly through your online gallery.
Would you prefer an heirloom quality album to hand down through the generations? I’ve got those, too, and I’ll help you create your perfect, custom album to relive your wedding again and again.

Destination Weddings

As a destination wedding photographer, I deliver the same fantastic service to my clients but from a very cool location. Being in an incredible location hand-picked by my couples only adds to the unique and unforgettable adventure that is marriage, and I aim to capitalize on all the opportunities that we have in front of us.

Whether your dream wedding is set in a sunny, warm, tropical location or you prefer to get up before the sun, hike up a mountain, and get married at sunrise, I’m here for it! I’ll even pack the sunblock and bug spray.
