I’m happy to answer any and all questions you might have. 

See below for some of my most frequently asked questions.

Q. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER?

A • I have been a full-time professional photographer since 2011. I started by assisting then becoming a second shooter and ultimately an associate photographer for a high-end wedding studio. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege to document hundreds of weddings, large and small, as a lead or second photographer. From intimate elopements with just the couple to a “go big or go home” intercultural wedding with 600 guests, I’m proud to say that as a seasoned wedding photographer who’s seen it all - I perform well under pressure. Always excited to capture the energy of your day, I am at ease in any love-filled environment.

Q. WHAT KIND OF EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?

A • I use professional grade digital Canon DSLR cameras like Canon 5d Mark IV with an array of L-series zoom and prime lenses. When lighting situations are favorable, I also use a Medium Format film camera as film produces one-of-a-kind dreamy images that are impossible to replicate with digital.

Q. DO YOU BRING BACKUP EQUIPMENT?

A • Absolutely! I bring a professional backup for every camera, lens, battery, flash, etc. It’s better to be over-prepared, in our professional opinion.

Q. DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE?

A • Yes. I carry general liability, indemnification and equipment insurance through Hill&Usher. Please, let me know if your venue needs a certificate of insurance.

Q. ARE YOU A LEGIT BUSINESS?

A • Yes, my company is registered as an LLC in the state of NJ. 

Q. WHAT IS REQUIRED TO BOOK OUR DATE?

A • 30% deposit along with a signed contract is required to book your date. Your final balance is due 30 days before your wedding.

Q. WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

A • I am based in Hoboken, NJ, right outside of NYC. I’m passport ready and always eager to travel for your destination wedding.

Q. DO YOU WORK WITH A SECOND SHOOTER?

A • Yes. I have a network of talented and experienced peers who are fully qualified to document weddings. If you choose our photography package with a second photographer, we’ll likely have twice as much fun capturing your day. 

Q. WILL I RECEIVE HIGH-RESOLUTION IMAGES?

A • Of course! All collections include fully edited high resolution images with printing rights for personal use.

Q. HOW ARE THE IMAGES DELIVERED?

A • All of your edited images are delivered via digital download through your own private online gallery. There are no watermark restrictions or any additional hidden fees. The  gallery will also have an option for purchasing prints and other products.

Q. WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOU OFFER?

A • I offer an assortment of  professional archival prints, albums, and canvases you can cherish with your family and friends for years to come. I strongly believe that tangible family heirlooms are our way to travel back to the moments that mean so much to us.

Q. WHEN DO I GET MY IMAGES?

A • You will receive you hi-res digital images for engagements, elopements and portrait sessions within 30 days. Your wedding photos are usually delivered within 60 days.

Q. HOW MANY HIGH-RESOLUTION IMAGES WILL I RECEIVE FROM THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION AND THE WEDDING?

A • Every session and wedding will vary based on hours of photographic coverage and other factors, including weather, guest count, schedule, etc. On average, I deliver 55-70 images per hour. Generally, engagements can yield anywhere from 50-100 images, while full coverage weddings produce approximately 600-1000 photographs. Regardless of the number, you will receive EVERY single great image we capture.

Q. DO YOU OFFER VIDEOGRAPHY?

A • No, we don’t. I’m a photographer through and through. However, I have a list of trusted vendors I am happy to share with you.
