More Than Photography — It’s Your Story

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the process, from booking your date to receiving your final heirloom gallery.
What is your booking process?
To begin, we'll have a short consultation to ensure we're a perfect match. Once you decide to move forward, a signed contract and a non-refundable retainer are required to officially reserve your wedding date on my calendar.
How far in advance should we book?
To ensure your date is secured, I typically recommend reaching out 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for popular weekend dates. However, please feel free to inquire regardless of your timeline, as I occasionally have last-minute openings.
When will we receive our photos?
I prioritize both quality and care. Expect a small preview gallery within 48 hours of your wedding day. Your full, artfully curated online gallery will be delivered within 8 to 10 weeks, preserved in high resolution for a lifetime of reliving.
Do you photograph engagement sessions?
Yes, engagement sessions are a vital part of the experience. They offer a relaxed way for us to connect and for you to become comfortable in front of the lens, ensuring and beautifully natural imagery on your wedding day.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes, I frequently document love stories across the Midwest and beyond. Whether you are celebrating in downtown Des Moines or planning a destination event, I am available to travel to capture your day exactly where it unfolds.
