FAQ

Common questions, honestly answered.

The eight questions every couple, founder, or brand asks before signing. If you don't see yours below, send a note — we answer every email within forty-eight hours.

What is your starting investment for weddings?

+

Wedding commissions begin at $8,500 for an eight-hour day and most couples invest between $12,000 and $22,000 depending on coverage hours, locations, and album-and-print delivery selections. Full pricing is provided in writing after the initial inquiry conversation.

Do you shoot film, digital, or both?

+

Both — most often a hybrid workflow. Medium-format film (Hasselblad 503CW, Contax 645) for portraits and golden-hour key moments. Digital (Leica M11, Hasselblad X2D) for ceremony, low-light reception, and high-volume documentary coverage.

How many images do we receive and when?

+

Full galleries — typically 600 to 1,200 finished images for an 8-hour wedding. Delivered within 8 weeks. Editorial commissions deliver in 4 weeks. We do not deliver highlight-only galleries; the full curated set is the standard.

Will you travel for destination weddings?

+

Yes — and frequently do. Past international coverage includes Italy, France, Mexico, Morocco, Iceland, and Japan. Travel costs are billed at-cost and integrated into the wedding contract.

Do you offer albums and fine-art prints?

+

Yes. Hand-bound walnut, oak, or linen-cover albums printed from the same archival lab used by international gallery photographers. Print editions in solid walnut, oak, or aluminum framing.

How do you handle low-light reception venues?

+

Hybrid digital workflow with the Leica M11 paired with prime f/1.4 lenses, on-camera and off-camera flash sequences orchestrated to feel ambient rather than imposing, and a documentary instinct that knows when to sit out a moment versus when to step in.

Can we see a full wedding gallery, not just highlights?

+

Always. We share full galleries from past weddings with serious inquiries — under signed access, respecting the privacy of past clients.

How far in advance should we book?

+

9 to 14 months for fall weddings, 6 to 10 months for spring and summer. Saturdays in May, June, September, and October book first. 2026 dates are limited as of inquiry.
