where are you based?

I’m based in Southwest Michigan. I frequently serve Alaska, Oregon, Utah, national parks, and other amazing locations. Check out the travel schedule here.

what is your editing style?

My aim is to keep things natural and timeless; the grass green, the sky blue, etc. I highly value: accurate coloring, symmetry, well-lit/sharp faces, true whites, minimal distractions, and logical cropping. I do not outsource my editing to anyone, ever.

How do you protect images?

I shoot on two memory cards simultaneously. After your wedding, all RAW images are backed-up in at least three separate locations (one being a fireproof/waterproof safe). Yes, I have business insurance.

We aren’t sure on location yet. can you help?

Heck yes! I pride myself on being an expert resource to couples in many forms. I know what to look for in a location and will help give you personalized suggestions and advice based on many factors.

DO YOU TRAVEL? WHAT ARE THE TRAVEL FEES?

Yes indeed! I’m based in Michigan, but have photographed love in over 30 states + personally traveled to 45 of the 50 states. All travel is included in any elopement or intimate wedding package for your convenience. No hidden or extra fees!

How will we receive our photographs?

I will give you a mixture of color and black and white photos. All the high-resolution digital JPEG files will be delivered to you through a private/shareable online gallery. There is no limit to the number of photographs you will receive. It will probably be more than you’re thinking. From the thousands that will be taken, I will hand-pick all the best images, by getting rid of any duplicates, misfires, or images with poor lighting. I’d be happy to send over some full galleries for you to browse through.
