Do you travel for weddings?
Yes, I do. I love to travel. I am located in Santa Barbara and I have been to many beautiful places domestic and international to capture celebrations of love. Travel costs will be added depending on the location. I usually organize my own travel. I spend quite some time in Europe and I am available to shoot for reduced travel costs since I am already there.
Are you available for Elopements?
Absolutely. Elopements and small intimate weddings have a special place in my heart. I am also happy to provide you with inspiration where to stay and tips for dining, flowers, hair and make up etc.
Do you offer engagement sessions?
I do. It is a wonderful way to get to know each other and to preserve some moments of this very special time in your life with images that reflect who you are as a couple and the things you enjoy doing together.
Do you shoot digital and film?
The majority of images are photographed in color and with digital cameras. I shoot 35 mm black and white and color film and also some medium format film in b/w and in color film. Additionally, I use se a Holga or a vintage camera for a different look to add to your collection. I call this the B-roll. If you see a lot of black and white edits in my portfolio, it represents my personal taste. I love black and white photography and the timelessness of it. The majority of these images were captured originally digitally in color and later rendered b/w in the edit. To be precise: all digital files (digital is the majority of how I photograph) are in color and edited and refined in post production true to color and at times rendered into black and white. Images that were shot on film will be developed at a professional photo lab and delivered as scans from the original negative in jpeg. format.
Do you have insurance
I have liability insurance. Some venues require extra aggregates which I accommodate on a case to case basis.
Photography budget
Every couple I work with receives a custom-tailored proposal crafted just for them. I’ve chosen not to offer pre-set collections because I truly believe you deserve an experience that reflects your unique story and vision. If my imagery and the way I approach a wedding day resonate with you, I’d love to connect and explore the possibilities together. We can hop on a call and you tell me what you envision, if I am a good fit, if the date is available and I can give you an offer. My goal is to accommodate my couples in every way I can. Your experience lies at the core of my offerings.
How do we book you?
A proposal is tailored specifically to you. I work with all my clients to make sure their vision is met and to fine tune the process. Booking my services requires a mutually signed contract and a 25 % deposit to save the date and put your day on my calendar. Several payment options are available.
After the wedding
Depending on the wedding and the amount of hours photographing it, you can expect anywhere between 400 - 900 images included in your final gallery, more if it is an entire wedding weekend. You will receive your entire collection of high resolution images with an extended copyright in a customized and password protected gallery. Depending on the season, the edit may take longer. The delivery time for your collection of images will be communicated to you specifically. Generally, the delivery date for an engagement, elopement or couples session is about 2 weeks and a wedding about 4 to 6 weeks. I believe in quality over quantity so I don't promise a certain amount of images. Every image in your final collection is carefully curated and edited before being delivered to you.
