Wedding Photography FAQ's
If you haven't seen my portfolio yet, please go take a look! Nearly every single one of those beautiful people ALSO said that they were awkward and/or uncomfortable on camera. How I make my clients comfortable is simple; I get to know every single client so that we form a real connection. By getting to know you, I understand how you two interact together naturally and from there I will guide you; so you two can just focus on each other! I will keep you two moving together—which always helps with nerves while looking great on camera—as well as playing some fun games. I will never ask you to do anything you think is uncomfortable or awkward, I want you to feel comfortable and have fun!
I have a honed process for sorting, backing up, and editing your photos and deliver all of my wedding galleries within 4 weeks of the wedding day. I will always do my best to deliver faster if I can.
Every wedding I photograph comes with a minimum of 1 roll of film. I shoot either 35mm film or 120 film, depending on what I am photographing. I will switch to film for moments that I think look special on film, or moments you have requested me to capture specifically on film.
Yes, I would love to! Just let me know if this is something you are interested in. I charge an additional fee of $1,000.00 +HST for this service. This includes all the film professionally developed, and with high resolution scans.
Absolutely! While my portfolio is mostly candid images, that's not all that I do. If it is something you would like to have, I would love to help you capture it. I am very much aware of the importance of family formals photos, and have a dedicated process to reducing the time spent taking family photos. My goal with family photos is always to get them done as efficiently as possible so you can get back to enjoying your wedding day!
Usually 6 hours can cover a bit of getting ready, the ceremony, portrait session, family photos, and a bit of the reception - you can expand that coverage in either direction to suit your own needs.
- Fill out my contact form and let me know your wedding date as well as any relevant details
- We schedule a video chat or in-person coffee date to make sure we're a good fit. I will also help you decide how much and what kind of coverage is a good fit.
- I will send you a customized contract to sign. Regarding payment, I require a retainer of 50% of your total balance to reserve your date.
- Once you have signed the contract, and I have received the retainer, we are officially set to work together!
I don't charge travel fees if your wedding venue is a 2 hour round trip from Toronto. If your wedding is significantly further away, I can create a custom quote based on accommodation/flights/etc. I'm happy to travel anywhere within Canada to capture your special day.
There is a non-refundable 50% retainer due upon signing the contract, however if you have to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances you can apply it to a new date as long as it works with my schedule. Although this has never happened to me, in the event that I have to cancel on you, I will send you a full refund of your retainer.
