The Wedding Experience

The Unexpected, Intimate Moments that take place on Wedding Day

After photographing more than 350+ weddings over the past few years, I’ve really come to value the unexpected, intimate moments that take place on a wedding day.

The hug your mom gives you before you leave your dressing room. The tear that falls down his cheek when he sees you walking down the aisle. The way the two of you lean your heads together during the toasts.

This day is about more than the flowers and the shoes you chose. It’s about celebrating the start of a new family.

Elopements in Savannah and Hilton Head offer a unique blend of Southern charm, elegance, and natural beauty.

The city is home to countless venues that can accommodate smaller wedding parties, from charming courtyards to luxurious ballrooms.

FAQ

Do You Photograph Destination Weddings and Elopements?

I have been traveling around the US and throughout the world for the last 10 years to shoot weddings. Setting up the airplane travel, hotel, rental car etc can be time consuming, expensive and difficult. So I’ve come up with a way that makes things easy for clients to understand and doesn’t cost them the time to set everything up.

Do We Get digital files?

Absolutely. This is something I have been doing since day one when I started out seven years ago. I think it’s important for my clients to have those files and have the ability to use, print and share them however they’d like.

How much does it cost for you to travel to our wedding?

I have been traveling around the US and throughout the world for the last 10 years to shoot weddings. Setting up airplane travel, hotel, rental car, etc can be time-consuming, expensive, and difficult. So I’ve come up with a way that makes things easy for clients to understand and doesn’t cost them the time to set everything up. I have divided the US into four areas. Each one has a cost. I use that money to cover my plane, hotel, and rental car. If it is more than that I will cover the cost out of my own pocket. If you are unsure which area your wedding would fall into please email me.

How Do I reserve you for our photography experience?

I make this quite easy. The two things needed to reserve your date are the signed wedding agreement and a 30% retainer. Both can be done online. Once we have talked, emailed or video chat and made sure I have the date available and would be a good fit I’ll send you a link to sign the agreement and process the payment using any major credit/debit card. Once those two things are done – I will put it on my calendar and that date will be yours.

How are images delivered?

I used to deliver them via DVD. But with the advancement of technology better options are now available to us. No more having to worry about a DVD getting lost or scratched. Your online gallery of photos will all be stored in the cloud. Easily accessible on any computer, mobile device or tablet. One button click and you’ll start downloading all images. You can even order prints direct from the gallery at very affordable prices from printing facilities only available to professional photographers. Lastly, you can send that link to all your friends and family so they too can enjoy the photos and download the ones they like of themselves.

Can I get the RAW (unedited) images?

Unfortunately, I do not offer RAW (unedited) files for purchase as they do not reflect my brand or expertise and will remain for my eyes only.

Sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. We’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos.
