FAQs

  • I believe in making a moment last. Sometimes I set things up, sometimes I slow the moment down, and sometimes I just let it unfold. There is magic everywhere around us all the time. And I know how important photos are when they’re all you have left.

  • I travel for most weddings I do. My passport is ready and there is a heavy discount for bucket list destinations! Here’s a look at my current travel schedule

  • We use a tincture of our latest model DSLR Canons and lenses, to our favorite five dollar point and shoot film camera. Equal parts the authenticity of 35mm film and the control over digital.

  • Of course! I get it, photography is not cheap, even for me. I don’t mind tailoring a specific payment plan to best suit each persons needs. I’m cool with that.

  • You will receive the high res files via a online viewing gallery along with printing rights. Copyrights will always remain property of the photographer.

    High quality prints are only guaranteed when purchased through the PicTime gallery and highly encouraged.

  • My vintage gear is always hand tested several times before using it out in the wild, and always have extra batteries on hand. I also copy images to two sd cards simultaneously on each digital camera. After the event I back them up on two hard drives until the gallery is finished and delivered to the client.

  • I’m partial to black and white photography. There is a romance in black and white, but some things just resonate deeper in color. I’ll pick film stock and tone for each image to best reflect the mood and moment.

  • Please do! If you want to share your wedding images with the world I’ll highly encourage it! I just ask to be notified when and who you submit to and I’m credited correctly.

  • I live my life like Practical Magic.
