FAQ

What is your booking process?

A 20% non-refundable deposit, a signed contract, and a big ol’ high five. 

Can we arrange a meeting before our wedding day?

Absolutely! I never book a wedding without meeting the couple first to ensure that we’re a perfect fit. We can grab a coffee, a drink, or arrange a Zoom / FaceTime date!

Do you travel for weddings?

A million times yes! I’ll have my bags packed and will see you at the airport, ready to boogie.

How many photos do you deliver?

I do not limit the amount of photos I send you – the more the merrier. I also don’t guarantee a number of images because every event is so very different. On average, you’ll receive about 70-80 images for every hour we spend together. My editing process includes culling the not-so-good images, and editing the beautiful ones, so you can love every single minute of browsing your album. 

Do you charge for travel outside of the GTA?

I do! 80km round trip (from my home in Toronto) are covered and included in my rate. Any additional kilometres are calculated at $0.72/km (Ontario’s 2025 mileage rates). This is applied to all types of shoots, including weddings!

Where should we do our shoot?

Somewhere meaningful! Your home, your favourite park, where you had your first date, where you met. I can recommend many spots if you’re feeling stuck!

When do we get our photos?

8-10 weeks (approximately) for Weddings, and 2-3 weeks for everything else (on the later side during peak season). I always send a fun sneakpeek album within a week to keep up the EXCITEMENT!

What do I wear to my shoot?

Wear what makes you feel comfortable and beautiful. Make sure you can sit, lay down, run and twirl. Outfit changes are welcome! 

Can we reschedule if it rains?

Yes! Pending availability, we can either reschedule our shoot or ~YOLO~ and embrace the rain together (The Notebook style photoshoot, anyone?)
