See some of my commonly asked questions + answers below. If you have additional questions or would like to schedule a short consultation to have more of your questions answered, please reach out!
CAN WE CREATE A CUSTOM PACKAGE FOR OUR WEDDING DAY?
Yes! Every wedding is unique and may require customized photography coverage. I let all of my couples build their own collection with EXACTLY what they want in it in terms of coverage, engagement session, albums, etc. I love working with brides to get them exactly what they’re looking for on their special day. Contact me for a customized quote.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO I NEED TO BOOK WITH YOU?
Weddings always book fast and I accept a limited number of weddings each year. Most of my brides book no later than 9 months prior to the wedding date but sooner is always better! Use my short contact form to get in touch!
WHAT LOCATIONS DO YOU TRAVEL TO?
I travel all over the western half of Montana, but I am also available for travel worldwide and anywhere your wedding leads us. Travel to most venues within 2 hours of my location is included at no additional charge. Some venues/location incur a small travel fee.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?
Fine Art | Editorial | Romantic
HOW DO I PLAN FOR ENOUGH TIME TO CAPTURE ALL OF THE PHOTOS I WANT DURING OUR WEDDING?
Your timeline is critical. Most brides haven’t been behind the scenes during many weddings and look to their photographer for guidance in planning a timeline for their day. I love helping with this! About 6 weeks before the wedding, I go over all details of the day with my brides, including your formal family photo list, and we work together to develop a timeline that will maximize the time you’ve booked me for and will allow you to enjoy all moments of your day.
DO YOU SHOOT ALONE OR WITH ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPHER?
I shoot 90% of my weddings alone and the majority of what you see in my portfolio are weddings that I’ve shot solo. I work very well this way but there are definitely benefits to adding a second photographer onto the package you book. A second photographer captures much of what I capture, but from a completely different angle. This adds a more documentary feel to your images and adds many more candids to your gallery as well. A second photographer is also very beneficial if you have a tight timeline or if portions of the day need to be captured simultaneously, ie. getting ready, cocktail hour/family formals, etc. I edit all photos from my second photographers to deliver a consistent finalized gallery.
HOW QUICKLY WILL I RECEIVE MY IMAGES AFTER MY WEDDING? PORTRAIT SESSION
I strive to deliver an online gallery of the wedding day within 6 weeks after your day. Before this time, you can expect to see sneak peeks and various highlights featured on Avenue One social media pages such as Facebook and Instagram and/or blog. Images for portrait sessions are delivered within 4 weeks after the session. Similar to weddings, sneak peeks and highlights can be viewed on social media beforehand.
