MY JOURNEY

Questions We Hear a Lot

Absolutely. We’re based in St. Louis but regularly shoot throughout the Midwest and beyond. Destination weddings and elopements are a big part of what we do. Travel fees vary by location, so just mention where you’re getting married when you reach out and we’ll put together the details.

It officially takes your date off the market. No one else can book it once that retainer is signed and submitted. The remaining balance is split into flexible installments leading up to your wedding so there’s no giant lump sum at the end.

You’ll get a 72-hour sneak peek after your wedding. Full gallery delivery typically runs 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the time of year.

Yes, and we love them. They’re also a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day. Ask us about adding one when you reach out.

It happens. We’d rather stay and make sure you have everything you need than watch the clock. We’ll always communicate with you if things are running significantly over so there are no surprises.

Yes. The three collections are starting points, not rigid boxes. If something doesn’t quite fit, we’ll build something that does.

Only one. Your wedding gets our full attention, always.
