Questions
Do you travel for weddings outside Michigan?
Yes, I regularly travel for destination weddings across the US and internationally. My base locations are Ann Arbor and Metro Detroit, but I've photographed weddings in locations like Washington State and beyond.
What's included in full day wedding coverage?
Full day coverage includes 8+ hours of photography starting from pre-ceremony preparations through reception celebrations. This comprehensive package captures all key moments including details, portraits, ceremony, and reception activities.
How would you describe your photography style?
My style focuses on natural, candid moments with clean, classic editing. I prioritize authentic emotions and interactions over posed shots, creating timeless images that emphasize genuine connections between couples and guests.
What are your pricing options for smaller weddings?
Intimate wedding coverage starts at $1500 for minimum 2-hour sessions. This option works well for elopements or small celebrations where couples want quality documentation without full day coverage.
How do you handle unexpected challenges during weddings?
With experience from 400+ weddings, I remain calm and adaptable in any situation. My approach focuses on problem-solving while maintaining unobtrusive documentation, ensuring clients stay relaxed and enjoy their celebration.
