Frequently Asked Questions
our most
We believe that every event celebration is unique, and so are each individual couple's needs. Through years of experience of clients asking us to alter our "generic" packages, we have decided on a much more personal approach. We quote every wedding, elopement and portrait session individually. With that in mind, our full wedding collections begin at $4200.
What is your pricing?
We have an amazing workflow that allows us to deliver every wedding client's images to them within 10 weeks of their wedding date. If you are a portrait client, during our regular season, the turnaround time is 2 weeks. During our busy portrait seasons, the turnaround time can take 3 weeks.
When will I receive my wedding images?
We appreciate your trying to help, however, we are very detail-oriented and have a very specific process we follow to ensure you receive every shot you want, and more than you thought possible! Take comfort in knowing you can sit back, relax and let us handle everything for you on wedding, elopement or portrait day! We encourage you to let us know of any planned moments, special people or details that we should know about.
Should I provide you with a shot list?
Please choose the appropriate Contact Form for your needs, and send us an inquiry! Once we receive your information, we will begin our on-boarding process.
How do we get a hand-tailored proposal?
Kim has personally never missed a single wedding due to illness or an emergency. She and her associate have shown up with a broken leg and crutches, and have even been in a car accident on wedding day, and still showed up for their couples. Short of an act of God, she will be there for you. If she absolutely can not make it, we would return your full investment to you if we are unable to find a replacement that is similar in style and caliber to us.
What happens if KJ gets sick or has an emergency on the wedding day?
We believe that a truly great artist focuses their talent on one individual service. Kim has spent years training and mastering the art of photography so she can provide each client with the absolute best final product imaginable. However, we do curate an Instagram highlight reel of your wedding day, and have a list of recommended vendors to choose from!
Do you offer videography?
In order to preserve our aesthetic and style while also giving you the look you're striving for, we provide each client with a detailed styling guidance. We will collaborate with you on every detail of your wardrobe options.
What should we wear to our portrait session?
As we mentioned before, every wedding, elopement and portrait session is unique. We may be offered more portrait time with one bride and then only have 15 minutes with the next. We unfortunately do not give an exact number of images to expect, simply because we are unsure what to expect ourselves.
How many images will I get?
We know that rain on your wedding day may sound like it could ruin everything, but it should be the least of your concerns! Kim has a lot of experience shooting in unpredictable weather, and has actually grown rather fond of rain on the wedding day. However, it is not what we pray for. We will work with your planner to come up with a contingency plan if unforeseen weather makes an appearance on your special day.
What if it rains?
Absolutely! It is our pleasure to hand-tailor every collection to fit each individual client. Please use our Contact Form to email us your wish list so we can curate a collection that is 100% yours.
Can we customize our collection?
One of the most personal aspects of our process is telling the story of your wedding or elopement day. Kim does this through her creative direction on your special day. If you choose to invest in one of our one-of-a-kind heirloom albums, Kim will design and layout your wedding/elopement day images in such a way that it narrates your story beautifully.
Do I get to choose the images that go into my album?
The wonderful thing about having a hand-tailored collection that is 100% your own is that this choice is 100% yours. If you value high-resolution digital images, you may absolutely request that this is included in your bespoke collection proposal.
Are the high-resolution images included?
We have two French Bulldogs, and absolutely LOVE working with dogs! With that being said, your dogs should be well behaved and listen to commands from you when asked. This is extra important for our large furry friends, and ones with a ton of energy! We have worked with many dogs, from Great Dane's to Frenchies, all sizes are welcome!
Can we include our dogs in our photography session?
tips for your
Wedding or Elopement Day
Consider it an investment
Your wedding/elopement day is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Please value this moment in time enough to invest in the best vendor team. You will walk away with your memories, your husband, and your photographs. While it might be tempting to ask a family member or friend to take pictures for you, they would much rather enjoy your event, trust me.
01
Capturing a wedding as a photographer is a huge undertaking and should never be considered a task that anyone is capable of. There are a lot of moving parts, and things that only a professional can anticipate. We know how to handle even the most stressful, unique situations you may encounter. Invest in photography, because there is only one opportunity for each moment to be captured or missed.

The engagement session is a great way for you to bond with your fiancee and have fun together! We think the engagement session is a must. Not only will you have beautiful images for your save-the-dates, but you will get to know our working style and how we approach photography. Your engagement session is the only day we can control the light and weather. Unlike wedding day uncertainties, we can guarantee you perfect light, if you trust us. Your engagement session will help you feel more comfortable on your wedding day, which is very advantageous for everyone!
Say 'yes' to the engagement session.
02
Depending on the time of year your event or portrait session is taking place, knowing the sunset time on the day is imperative. The sunset time is the single most critical element to consider when collaborating with us to create your timeline. We intentionally schedule your portrait time, at the best time of day to ensure the most flattering, beautiful light. We prefer the soft, classic look of natural light, and while we can be very creative with flash, it is just not our style. Make sure the sunset time is taken into consideration, as it will impact the look of your photos.
Look up the sunset time.
03
Creating a comprehensive wedding day timeline is the most important element of the planning process. Clients who value their photographic experience and want to ensure the most productive photography result, work with us to create a functional, and reasonable timeline. Something to consider is how other vendors can impact the entire wedding day, having your hair and makeup delayed will have a negative impact on every other aspect of your special day. Our priority is ensuring you have a worry-free photography experience, and a seamless wedding day. When planning out your day, please consider photos top of mind, so you know you will have optimal portrait time with us, and a full gallery of spectacular images.
Collaborate with us on your timeline.
04
Our style is clean and elegant. Please ensure that the space you choose to get ready in is immaculate, bright and free of clutter and excess. Your wedding party should not have their belongings, food or water bottles in your getting ready space. Your space should be entirely for you. It should look and feel luxurious and light. You can make any bright room into an ideal space if you have it clean and organized!
Choose a beautiful space to get ready.
