Thank you so much for filling in the form - I'll be in touch with you very soon!
If we're the perfect fit, I'll send you a proposal & contract that will include 50% of the final total. To book your date in my calendar, you'll pay a 50% non-refundable retainer & sign the contract. The remaining 50% is due a month before your wedding date.
What is your booking process?
None local to Central Illinois. To Chicago/St. Louis + beyond, only if your logistics require a hotel stay within reason (ie. coverage ends ridiculously late).
For other domestic travel: a roundtrip plane ticket, 2-3 nights lodging (depending on your day's logistics), transportation, & food per diem. I try to get the best deals so I can charge you the least amount possible.
Do you have travel fees?
Making sure all of the day is photographed on film alongside digital! The rolls of film included are usually more of a highlight reel and a little heavier in areas of the day that we have lots of time, like portraits.
What is a full film add-on?
For this to happen, I would have to be in the hospital or having a family emergency/death. I value my couples and their big day so much, and heaven forbid if something out of my control came up that prevented me from being at your wedding, I will personally find you a replacement day of associate photographer whom I completely trust and whose work you love. In that event, I would still be the one editing your gallery to my style.
what if you can't be at my wedding?
No. My editing is half of the end result I deliver, and half of why you're hiring me. Giving out my unedited raws is like a chef giving out uncooked chicken. If you hire me it means you love my style - which includes the editing.
Will you give me the raw image files?
If you’ve already booked your date with me, and for some reason have to cancel or reschedule your wedding/shoot, the retainer fee is non-refundable. In order to book your new date, a new retainer will need to be paid. Please understand I’m not trying to steal your money. I do this because once your date is in my calendar, I’ve most likely rejected other sessions/weddings for that same date.
