When you send me a message I'll send you helpful links to more information, plus invite you to a chat so you can get all your questions answered.

If you’re both completely excited about having me at your wedding-it’s time to reserve your date. You'll complete your booking documents and remit your retainer online.

Most couples reserve their date anywhere between 3-24 months in advance.
Let me know if you're planning in a shorter timeframe because if your date is available you can still book.

Yes. To be fully booked, 25% of your total package is due as a non-refundable retainer that reserves your date on my calendar.

Most couples don’t have everything figured out right away, and that's okay. It will all come together as you plan and I'm always here to help.

In Belle Plaine, Minnesota which is halfway between Minneapolis and Mankato. Because of this, it's easy for me to travel to wedding venues in the Twin Cities Metro, as well as Mankato and other wedding venues in the area.

I "went official" with my business and started shooting weddings on my own in 2012. Before this I was a second shooter and was employed by a photography studio. I have over a decade of experience as a pro.

A little bit of documentary photography, a little bit of editorial style and a lot of fun! Really I'm not sure there's a specific word to describe it, except that I want you to feel amazing and have an awesome time during your pictures. I also like little details and opportunities to get creative and make unique photos with you.

There will always be venues I haven't visited yet because there are tons of amazing ones in Minnesota and I'm always excited to experience new places. We can walk through the venue together, so you can show me what you love about it. I also do a lot of research on your venue to be prepared.

My goal is to deliver pictures that feel complete in telling your wedding story. I believe in quality over quantity but won't hold back on the best pictures of important moments.

As an estimate, you can expect to receive between 60-100 pictures per hour of photography. The exact final number of pictures you receive depends on how many hours of photography you have and what unique moments happen during the wedding.

My backup process starts on your wedding day. I use dual memory cards in my cameras. This means each picture is saved to two cards while I’m shooting. After the wedding, I do 3 backups- 1 working copy and two extras. There are dozens of ways to back up pictures and the process I use is the one I've found works best over the years.

Yes. Touch-ups for small blemishes, skin softening when needed, artistic color and light correction, and a curated selection of black-and-white edits are all included.

I normally don't erase every wrinkle, give you a tan, or drastically modify the shape of your face & body. I do take editing requests. For complex requests, there may be an additional fee.

Editing time will be 8 weeks or less. This is because I hand-edit and look at every picture at least twice. I'll also post a little sneak peek to social media after your wedding, and provide you with a high-resolution version of the preview in your gallery.

For engagements and other portraits, editing time is 2-4 weeks depending on the season.

Your pictures are delivered in an online gallery. You can download each file as a high-resolution print-ready picture, plus you get optimized copies for social media sharing. You also receive a flash drive with a back up of the pictures in your gallery.

You get a release to print & share your pictures. This is delivered via email with every download and a copy is included on your flash drive. It says that you have permission to use your final pictures for any personal use including social media or printing on your own.

Yes. I have liability insurance for this reason, so if your venue needs proof of insurance let me know in advance and I can request a certificate for them.
