FAQ

HOW DO I BOOK YOU?

To lock in a date on my calendar, I require a signed contract along with a non-refundable retainer. For weddings, it is 35% and I offer payment plans of up to 3 payments. For anything else (couples, engagements, maternity, etc.) it's $125 of the total due at signing. 


WHERE ARE YOU BASED?

I’m based in Irvine, California! But I live to travel, so if you have a destination in mind we will 1000% make it happen. I also offer special discounts for my bucket list destinations! Inquire so we can chat about what that looks like.



HOW DO TRAVEL FEES WORK?

Central Valley, California: No travel fee! 

Northern California: Calculated at $1/mile round trip. If the destination is more than 100 miles (max 300 miles) from Modesto , it is a flat rate of $500. If the destination is beyond 300 miles, it will be a custom quote based on current airfare prices and 2 nights stay of accommodation. 

USA: Custom quote based on current airfare prices and 2 nights stay of accommodation near the venue/area (day before & day after the wedding). Typical investment is about $1,000.

International: Custom quote based on current airfare prices and 2 nights stay of accommodation (day before & day after the wedding). Typical investment is about $2,000.



WHAT IF YOU ARE BOOKED FOR MY WEDDING DATE?

I have a team of associate photographers I can use! So if I am personally unavailable, you have the option of selecting an associate shooter of mine who would physically photograph your wedding day and I would be the one to edit all of your final images in my style. Any package booked with an associate shooter gets a 15% discount as well!


HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO YOU BOOK OUT WEDDINGS?

It depends on the season, of course, but usually 12-18 months in advance.
