How many hours of coverage do I need for my wedding?

If you’d like getting ready images through your exit, 10 hours will cover you! If one end of the day is more important to you than the other, 6 is plenty, and if you're having a small, family wedding or an elopement 4 hours will work out well.

Can we meet before the wedding?

Yes, we would love to meet in person. Give me a call and we will schedule an appointment that is convenient for you. However, The best way to really get to know each other in advance is to book an engagement or bridal session. It is a great opportunity to warm up on camera!

Your images are culled, color corrected, cropped, and dodged and burned. What does this mean? Your photos will look crisp, professional and consistent. I also convert about 25% of your photos to black and white.

4x6 and 5x7 prints are $50. All professional quality prints can be ordered through your online gallery. Large matted and framed prints are also available trough your gallery.

(Knock on wood) In my 20 years of photographing weddings, it has never happened. Our team of photographers takes their job very seriously. With three team members, we do have the advantage of guaranteeing a backup photographer.

Do you offer discounts?

I have been a full time professional photographer for over a decade and variety keeps my job exciting! I have photographed engagement portraits, bridal portraits, family portraits, maternity portraits, newborn portraits, six months and one years portraits, pet portraits, senior portraits, marriage proposals, business portraits and underwater portraits.

How long does a portrait sitting normally last?

Between one and two hours. I don’t really have a limit. I photograph until we both feel like we got a ton of great photos to choose from. Normally I deliver between 50 and 150 images from a portrait sitting. I don’t have a limit to the amount of photos I give you.

How does a family portrait sitting work?

I am happy to travel to the Isle of Palms, Folly Beach, Kiawah Island, or downtown Charleston. My portrait sittings start out posed and get more candid at the end. I like to start with the whole group together then groupings and individuals. Prints and high-resolution files are available.
