FAQ

What do you require to book with you?

For any session - including weddings - I require a 25% retainer upon signing of contracts. These contracts, in conjunction with the deposit, hold your date & time slot. Along with this, the full amount needs to be paid no later than 30 days before your wedding day.

What are travel fees?

I am an avid traveler and travel ALL the time. One of my most favorite parts of what I do. I don’t typically charge a travel fee if it’s within about an hour or so of drive time. Travel fees will vary case by case depending on if I need to fly, overnight stays, rental car, long distance driving, etc. If it’s going to be further away, it’s definitely something we can discuss at your consultation! I will be taking care of arrangements so no added stress on you!

What other types of sessions do you shoot?

I specialize in weddings. But I also love capturing graduates, couples, maternity, families, gender reveals, & of course, any creative sessions as well! Pretty much anything your heart desires!

Will there be a second shooter for my wedding?

You can add on a second shooter for a fee. I will not always be able to guarantee a second shooter, especially if it is a last minute booking. But if it's far enough in advance, we can definitely work something out! I recommend adding one on if your wedding count is over 200 guests!

How much does a wedding photographer cost in Big Bear Lake?
