How far in advance should I book?
Weddings and senior sessions book quickly — typically 6–12 months in advance for weddings and 1–3 months for portrait sessions. The earlier you reach out, the better!
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. A retainer is required to secure your date and is applied toward your total balance. Remaining payment is due on the day of your session or event.
Can we choose the location for our photos?
Absolutely! I love helping you select the perfect spot. Whether you’re dreaming of a beach, woods, a classic garden, or something special to your story, we will plan it together.
How long until I receive my photos?
Portrait sessions: typically 1–2 weeks
Weddings: 2–4 weeks
Rush delivery is available for an additional fee dependent on the number of photos and when you need them.
Will I receive edited photos?
Yes. All delivered images are professionally edited for color, lighting, and clarity. Retouching photos is very difficult, but can be done for specific photos for an additional fee.
Do I get printing rights?
Yes — you’ll receive full printing rights and a downloadable online gallery. You may also order professional prints, albums, and wall art through me. When I deliver your album, just ask me if you are interested in purchasing a specific product or products and I can make it happen.
Do you travel?
Yes — I love traveling for sessions and weddings. Travel within the Hilton Head and Bluffton is included. Beyond that, travel fees of .70 per mile apply. However, with that in mind, I am happy to work with you to make your shoot happen.
What if it rains?
For portraits, we will reschedule or adjust to a covered or indoor location. For weddings, I always come prepared with backup solutions and rain-friendly creativity.
What should we wear?
For most sessions, muted or matte colors are best in the low country costal setting of Hilton Head. Think greens and blues, black and white. Natural colors. If you have questions for me about what to wear, or what would look best, please don’t hesitate to ask. If I don’t know, I will ask my wife, she will know.
Can you help with posing?
Absolutely — you don’t need to know a single pose. I guide you naturally so you feel comfortable and look confident.
Do you photograph small, intimate weddings and elopements?
Yes. Whether it’s a private ceremony with just a few loved ones or a romantic adventure elopement, I offer custom packages for intimate celebrations.
