HOW DID YOU LEARN PHOTOGRAPHY?
I learned photography at Coggin's School Of Photography in Moore, Oklahoma and graduated in May of 2011. I did family photography for about a year. I shot my first wedding in July of 2012 and I fell in love! I knew I had found my calling! I've been shooting weddings ever since!
WHAT’S YOUR STYLE?
My style is simple and natural. I mostly use natural lighting with some fill flash. I prefer natural colors over enhanced colors any day. I believe in natural beauty; every person I meet is beautiful in their own way to me. I try to capture the true beauty of someone rather than try to edit their flaws. It's all about placement and angle. My business is free from any debt which allows me to keep my prices at an affordable cost while providing outstanding professional services to you and still making a profit!! Can't get better that, right?! I look forward to capturing your special moments in life!! Hope you love what you see!
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK YOU FOR OUR WEDDING?
My calendar fills up quickly so you should plan to book about 4-12 months in advance. If you are planning on a shorter time-frame, please to check availability! 405-206-6029
HAVE YOU SHOT AT OUR LOCATION BEFORE?
If you are getting married in Central Oklahoma then chances are I have come across your venue in the past 6 years. However, I LOVE shooting at new venues and seeing a location with fresh eyes is very valuable as well! I travel quite frequently for weddings so even if I have not been to your location before, I feel confident that I would do an excellent job capturing it. I would also be happy to visit your location with you prior to the wedding day, or if your wedding is out of town, I will arrive early the day before or day of to scout it to make sure I know where the best spots to shoot are!
CAN I HAVE ALL THE RAW, UNEDITED IMAGES TOO?
Unfortunately, no. It would be unprofessional of me to release unedited images. Don't worry, I won't hold any good ones from u!
DO YOU SHOOT (LARGE / SMALL / INDIAN / JEWISH / CHRISTIAN / NON-RELIGIOUS / ETC) WEDDINGS?
Yes, of course! It would be my pleasure to document your celebration of any faith, non-faith, or orientation.
HOW MANY SHOOTERS DO YOU BRING TO A WEDDING?
It will be just me unless you request otherwise. Some wedding collections include a 2nd photographer. There is an option to request one for an additional cost as well.
DO YOU DO VIDEO TOO?
No, I provide photography only. I prefer to do the absolute best job and provide the absolute highest quality of work for you, and there is no way that I could do that if I were trying to do two things at the same time. I am solely focused at your wedding on capturing beautiful photos that you will preserve in your album and frame on your walls. I would be more than happy to give you referrals of excellent videographers who share a similar mindset.
I REALLY WANT YOU TO STAY UNTIL THE END OF MY WEDDING. WILL YOU?
Of course! My packages include capturing your day from the end of your hair/makeup through the last major event of the reception. Additional coverage is always available no matter how much more you would like covered
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO SEE MY PHOTOS?
Engagement and family photos will be available approximately 1-3 weeks after the shoot. Weddings normally take 4-6 weeks.
WHAT WILL YOU WEAR TO SHOOT?
It depends on the type of wedding/event you are having! If you are planning a formal, black-tie wedding, I'll be dressed in mostly black and probably a jacket. If you are getting married on the beach, probably a long dress or lighter pants and a blouse. Myself and my staff always dress professionally and appropriately for the location and event we will be shooting.
I'M WORKING ON A BUDGET, WILL YOU GIVE ME A DISCOUNT?
Our packages have been carefully curated and priced according to their value, so the short answer is "No". However, no two weddings are alike and as such, we would love to create a custom package that suits exactly what you need! If you are working on a smaller budget, we have incredible coverage available beginning at $350. Please contact me for details!
I DON’T PHOTOGRAPH WELL AND AM SUPER AWKWARD—CAN YOU HELP ME?
Yes, of course! I understand that you might not have experience being photographed and I'm here to help. Through my easy shooing style and natural posing, I make sure that you look natural and lovely in your photos. Some people take a little longer to warm up, and in those cases I make sure that you feel comfortable and relaxed while we are shooting. I promise, I make it painless and fun, and it won't be nearly as bad as you think!
MY (HUSBAND/WIFE/FIANCEE/) HATES BEING IN PHOTOS—CAN YOU HELP ME?
Yes, it would be my pleasure to help :) I try to shoot quickly and we take lots of breaks to chat and have fun. I regularly hear from my clients that they are surprised at how easy and relaxed they felt at their shoot. Engagement sessions are a great way to practice being in photos and working with me so that way your wedding photos are much more natural, easy, and fun!
YOU’RE THE PHOTOGRAPHER FOR US! HOW DO WE RESERVE OUR WEDDING OR PORTRAIT DATE?
Great! The next step is to contact me via message or by phone 405-206-6029 to let me know your date so I can check my availability. Once we select the best package for you, I will send you a contract to sign and instructions on how to pay the retainer. I cannot hold any date for either a portrait or a wedding without both the retainer and contract completed. I can't wait to work with you!
