HOW MANY WEDDINGS HAVE YOU PHOTOGRAPHED?
So, a little background about me I am originally from Ohio when I was completely self-taught (got a camera from Christmas when I was 16 and just ran with it). During the lovely 2020 COVID year, I lost my job (the company actually went under so it no longer exists). I was longing for a change that put my passion first, so I went on Indeed like every lost 20 something during that time, typed in photography and went with it. I was hired to be a manager to run a photo + film company in Dallas, which then took me to Denver to run that location. I had over 30+ videographers + photographers that I was training to do weddings. So, that's what brought me to HERE, since then I left the company (underpaid but we don't need to get into that LOL), and decided I can do this myself. So... long and short of it I have shot well over 50+ weddings. :)
WHAT IS THE TYPICAL SIZE OF WEDDING YOU PHOTOGRAPH?
I have done everything from small elopements in Italy (with just the couple reading their vows in the most gorgeous sceneries), to 300+ guest indian weddings that is 14 hours+ of shooting (that actually was on my birthday). No wedding turns me away, because I actually have event planning experience as well, so running the day and working with schedules is what I thrive on - I think of myself as someone who thrives on chaos.
HAVE YOU PRIMARILY SHOT INDOOR OR OUTDOOR WEDDINGS?
Living in Colorado there are a lot of outside weddings (so that is the majority), but I also have done several church and indoor weddings. Also, living here the weather is very unpredictable so we may have an outdoor ceremony scheduled, but within an hour we may have to change everything to indoors because of weather conditions. Again, no problem for me I am prepared for whatever is planned or well... not planned!
WHAT'S YOUR PREPARATION/METHODOLOGY BEFORE EACH SHOOT?
I pride myself on the preparation I do prior (which I can explain more on the next question) which sets me up for success for every single wedding I take. I believe QUALITY not quantity, sure I could take a large amount of weddings, make whole lotta money, and it just be a transactional experience. But, I am the complete opposite of that because I truly look at my clients/couples as my friends, I want to have a positive relationship with you (that you will look back on the photos and not only see beautiful photographs captured, but also remember the experience with me). So, whether I have 3 weddings in a row, or your my only one for the week I will put 110% on every wedding I photograph. I don't take it lightly I am literally CAPTURING someone's day that they can't redo, so it better be done right! :)
WHAT'S YOUR INTERACTION WITH YOUR CLIENTS AFTER BOOKING + PRIOR TO THE EVENT?
As I mentioned I have a wedding planning background (part time hustle), yes when I tell you I dip my toes into everything wedding industry I mean it. LOL - SO, if you choose to book me we go through allll of it, a call to get you to understand WHO I am and WHAT you are getting (just because we can't really meet for coffee because you guys don't live here anymore). I then go through a whole planning process, you tell me all the little details about your wedding, I form a tentative timeline for you (which we can tweak - and I can adapt depending on your planners at Wedgewood as well). Create "must-have" shots, family shot list, even send me all the pinterest board inspos - Gimme it ALLLL! Also, as you can already kinda tell communication is KEY for me, and I pride myself in being super responsive, so you will have full access via phone or email to pick my brain, need help I got you!! I want you to be so excited to meet and work with me on the day of, and feel like you "know" me before the big day!
WHAT'S YOUR SHOOTING/INTERACTION
STYLE?
Me personally, I am soooo bubbly, outgoing and just wanna be your bestie for the day. I will be there if you need me to sew something (yes it happens a lot), build you up, tell you exactly how to pose, look, put your hands and always look out for the best of what you need. But then, on the flip side I am super intuitive and can pick up on if you just want me to disappear for a little bit. :)
WHAT'S IS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF PHOTOGRAPHS WE CAN EXPECT?
I don't believe in "minimums" or a cap of photos. I will take well over 2000+ photographs for your wedding day. And you will get all of the usable photographs edited back to you, because I know my favorites are going to be different then your favorites, or even your family's favorites. So, I think the more the merrier, it's just you that have a little "slideshow" movie you have to scroll through. :)
