"Our friends and family
Most couples book 9–18 months ahead, especially for popular New England dates. If your date is sooner, still reach out — I often have openings.
How far in advance should we book?
Yes — the Diamond, Gold, and Silver Collections all include an engagement session. We’ll plan the location, timing, and overall vibe together.
Do your collections include an engagement session?
Every wedding is different, but most couples receive several hundred edited images that tell the full story of their day — from big moments to the quiet, meaningful ones.
How many photos will we receive?
You’ll receive 100+ sneak peeks within 24–48 hours. Your full gallery is delivered within 6–8 weeks, once everything is carefully edited.
When will we get our photos back?
With curiosity, respect, and care. I take time to understand your traditions, ceremonies, and family dynamics so everything is photographed thoughtfully and accurately.
How do you approach multicultural weddings?
That’s completely normal. My approach is calm, supportive, and gently guided when needed. Most couples feel comfortable within minutes.
What if we’re awkward or shy in front of the camera?
Absolutely. We build your photography timeline together, ensuring the flow feels smooth, realistic, and aligned with your priorities.
Will you help us plan our timeline?
Yes — all full wedding day collections include a second photographer. The Elopement Collection does not include one, keeping the experience simple and intimate.
Do you bring a second photographer?
Yes! I photograph weddings across Connecticut, New York, and throughout New England. For weddings beyond that, just reach out — I’d love to chat.
Do you travel?
You’ll hear back within 48 hours. I’ll confirm availability, share next steps, and invite you to a consultation call so we can talk through your plans and make sure we’re a great fit.
