Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does the above price include tax?

No, tax will be added after we get your package set up! Sales tax will be added in association with the location of your wedding or the location of the shoot (in the case of engagements). If in Minnesota, the tax rate is about 6.875% of your total cost.

2. Is there a deposit?

 Yes, I ask for 30% of your package to be paid upfront in order book me. This is a nonrefundable retainer that I require, because I will turn down any possible brides for your date once you've booked me. It protects me from losing business and it protects you from overbooking. You are the priority, and I plan on making sure of that.

3. Can I get rid of the engagement session?

Yes you can, however the engagement session is what I consider one of THE most important things when working with your wedding photographer! Not only does it help us get to know each other, it also serves as a learning tool for posing that otherwise would take place on your wedding day (thus taking away time). There is no price difference should you get rid of it, as it's complimentary. However, if you’d like to see your wedding gown in a fun or epic location, I do offer a “Adventure After I Do” sessions in exchange for the engagement session if desired. Inquire for more information on that.

4. Can we change outfits in an engagement session?

Yes please! I recommend two outfits for your engagement session. Usually one that's more formal and one that's a bit more casual. I do allow up to three outfits, if you wish to have one more. :)

5. I'm willing to pay the deposit, but... why do I need to sign a contract?

I do require a contract. It's out of protection for you and for me. My contract lays out the expectations for both of us so things run smoothly. If the contract appears concerning at all, I strongly encourage you to email me so we can set up a time to talk about it. I definitely want you to know what you are signing!

6. Who has the rights to the images?

I have the full rights to the images, but I do give you rights for any personal use. You can post them on your Social Media, you can print them, and you can share them with your friends and family!
