We don’t want to say there will be a minimum or a maximum. We give all the beautiful moments throughout the session or wedding, culling away the repeats, eyes closed, mid talking or unusable blurry images. An hour session is usually 75 to 100 and a wedding can range from 600 to 1200 depending on the hours covered.

Unfortunately, retainers are non-refundable because once you secure a photographer, they turn down work to keep the date for you. However, we have been known to get creative and allow clients to turn their deposit into a credit towards other sessions and products.

Absolutely — investing in coordination is one of the best decisions you can make. If you value a smooth, stress-free wedding day (and want to fully enjoy every moment), a day-of coordinator is truly essential. And if you’d love to feel supported throughout the entire planning journey, a full planner is worth their weight in gold.
It’s important to note that when venues say they have a “coordinator,” their role typically focuses on the venue itself — not your unique timeline, vision, or personal logistics. I’ve never had a couple regret hiring a planner… but I’ve heard many say they wish they had.

Because your wedding deserves our full attention — not what’s left over. We pour a tremendous amount of intentional time into planning, communication, and building a genuine connection with each couple. That’s what allows us to show up on the wedding day not as a stranger with a camera, but as someone who knows what matters most to you.
Saying “yes” to fewer weddings means we can go all-in for the ones we do take — with the level of care, creativity, and personal experience you’re investing in. Beautiful images are the result… but the relationship and support behind them is what truly sets the tone.
