Wedding Photography FAQs
How would you describe your shooting style?
I have always felt an immense connection to moments, and emotions. The style that most generally resonates with me is documentary, and lifestyle photography. We create a collection of candid and posed images of your day! But don’t worry, we work very hard to be unnoticeable— a fly on the wall if you will— as we capture all the amazing moments of your Wedding day as you celebrate with your family and friends.
What is your experience with photography, specifically Wedding Photography?
In 2013 I graduated from a photography program in Charleston, SC. When I entered into the program, I had no desire to photograph people (funny right?). As I ventured through, I found my calling through people— their interactions and emotions.
We lost a family member early in my photography career, and I realized how important moments, people and memories were. Later that year, I was given the opportunity to photograph a friends Wedding (no charge), I showed up that day.. butterflies in my stomach, afraid I was going to mess up.. miss a moment, or the FIRST KISS! * insert heart palpitations * But as I proceeded with my first venture into a high stress day.. I was buzzing. I embraced every moment, and what went from a terrified 20 something girl navigating unsure waters, turned into a very passionate Wedding photographer.
Since that first Wedding, I have photographed approximately 75 Weddings. My experience has come from learning, embracing, traveling and overcoming unsure situations, that we all know commonly occur during the Wedding day! It’s been a miraculous adventure, one I sometimes can’t believe is mine!
Do you HAVE to have two photographers?
Yes. Two photographers are a must for all Weddings, with the exception of Intimate Weddings. A second photographer is included with all packages, and remains at the event the entirety of the contracted time. We choose to work with two photographers for you, and for the reason of creating the entire story of your special day. With two sets of eyes, you receive two views of all the important moments of your day, plus additional footage as one photographer cannot be everywhere at once. The value of the moments captured by your two photographers, especially during the ceremony, is priceless.
Do you travel for Engagement sessions + Weddings?
We love to travel!! Near and far— wherever you are! I also embrace the destination wedding field as a whole! It’s been incredible. Destinations outside of our two home bases, Scranton, PA and Charleston, SC will be subject to travel fees to cover our expenses. Let us know where your destination will be, and we can provide an estimate for you. Locations we have photographed include: New York- The Bronx, North Carolina- Raleigh, Costa Rica- Manuel Antonio, Connecticut- Bristol, South Carolina- Charleston, Tennessee- Nashville, Florida- St. Augustine etc.
Explain your editing style.
We compose and photograph based on lighting, while evaluating exposure needs throughout the day. Afterwards, we make some adjustments to brightness, contrast and saturation as needed. We embrace the bright and airy edits- while staying true to color and maintaining the timeless beauty that we are known for. We always create bllack and white and uniquely toned images as we see fit! Don’t worry, you’ll love it!
