Do you offer physical Heirloom Albums?
Yes! I offer handcrafted heirloom albums designed to beautifully preserve your wedding memories for generations. Each album is fully customizable, featuring premium materials and exquisite attention to detail, ensuring your photographs are displayed as the art they are.
How many hours of coverage do we need?
Couples could need anything between 8–12 hours, which allows us to beautifully capture everything from getting ready to the dance floor. If your wedding includes multiple locations, cultural ceremonies, or a late-night reception, I’ll provide a personalized recommendation during our consultation—ensuring every meaningful moment is captured with intention.
Where do you travel for weddings? How are travel expenses handled?
I photograph weddings throughout New York, the East Coast, and destinations worldwide. Travel is handled with complete transparency, custom collections include all travel, with no unexpected add-ons. I take care of all logistics so you can remain fully present in your celebration.
How do you handle privacy and discretion?
Your wedding is intimate, and I treat it with the utmost care. Your photographs are never sold or shared especially if you would prefer to keep your memories private. For high-profile clients or those desiring complete discretion, NDAs, private galleries, and strict no-posting requests are always available and prioritized. Your day is yours, and I honor that above all.
What is 35mm film photography?
35mm film is the classic analog format that produces nostalgic, organic, and perfectly imperfect images. It adds texture, romance, and a timeless editorial quality that digital photography cannot replicate. For couples who love a layered story, I offer hybrid digital + film coverage for the ultimate cinematic experience.
How and when do we receive our photos?
You’ll receive a preview gallery within one week, with the full wedding gallery delivered in 8–12 weeks. Each image is thoughtfully edited and curated to tell the complete story of your day.
How and when do we receive our content if our package includes content creation?
If your collection includes content creation, all raw content is delivered the following day. Everything is shared via a convenient album link (iPhone compatible) in addition to your online gallery, keeping all your memories in one beautifully organized place.
Can we customize our own package?
Absolutely! I highly recommend customizations! Every celebration is unique, and your coverage should reflect that. I’ll work with you to build a collection that perfectly captures your wedding day or your entire wedding weekend, including cultural events, welcome parties, rehearsal dinners or any other special event that you’d like documented.
What backup measures do you have for equipment?
Your images are safeguarded in real time. We photograph with dual-slot cameras, back up files throughout the day, and carry duplicate equipment. After your wedding, all files are archived across multiple secure systems, ensuring nothing is ever lost. Your memories are protected at every stage.
