FAQ

We are super awkward in front of the camera... help!

You are in good company! Most of my couples feel this way at first. My superpower is making you feel totally at ease. I don't do stiff, prom-style posing. instead, I’ll guide you with fun prompts and gentle direction to create natural moments. You’ll be too busy laughing and loving on each other to feel awkward!

Do you travel for weddings?

My bags are always packed! While I love capturing love stories right here in Peterborough and the Kawarthas, I am always up for an adventure. Whether you are planning a celebration in Muskoka, Toronto, or beyond, count me in.

Travel for weddings is included for up to 2 hours then charged at an hourly rate.

Are the travel fees included in your packages?

Travel for weddings is included for up to 2 hours then charged at an hourly rate.

Will you help us with the timeline?

Yes, please! I secretly (okay, not so secretly) love logistics. I believe a great timeline is the key to a stress-free day. I will work with you to build a flow that ensures we get all those dreamy portraits without keeping you away from your party for too long.

What is your photography style?

I describe my style as light, airy, and whimsical. I love soft natural light, genuine emotion, and capturing the day exactly as it feels. I mix candid moments with guided portraits to give you a gallery that tells the full story of your celebration.

How many photos will we receive?

I believe in quality and quantity when it comes to preserving your memories. While every wedding is unique, you can typically expect about 50-75 fully edited images per hour of coverage. I curate your gallery to ensure all the best images and most important moments are included, edit them with my signature look, and deliver them in a beautiful online gallery you can share with family and friends.

When will we see our photos?

I know you are anxious to see them! Because I dedicate so much care to perfecting your images, the full gallery delivery time is 16–20 weeks during peak season. But don't worry, I usually send over a few sneak peeks shortly after the wedding to tide you over!

Do we need a second photographer?

For intimate gatherings, I can usually capture everything solo! However, for larger celebrations, having a second shooter ensures no moment is missed. We can chat about your specific plans to decide what’s best for you!

What happens if it rains?

We embrace it! Some of the most romantic and whimsical photos happen under umbrellas. I am fully prepared for any weather and always have a backup plan for portrait locations. Rain or shine, your photos will be beautiful.

How do we make it official?

It’s super simple! To secure your date, I require a signed contract and a retainer. Dates book up quickly (especially during peak season!), so if you feel like we’re a match, reach out via the contact form and let’s get this party started!
