FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What's your photography style?

I’m a documentary wedding photographer. That means I am primarily focused on capturing your day as it unfolds, with minimal intervention. That doesn’t mean I won’t step in from time to time, but I’m generally looking out for candid moments and interactions throughout your day, and telling your story through my lens as it happens.

Do you pose people?

I do minimal posing. I am more likely to direct you. My direction is usually putting the two of you in a scene and giving you instructions like, “hold hands and walk, and take in the surroundings.” I might tell you to stop and look at me, or look at each other, but you will not find me doing any type of rigid or stiff posing that feels awkward or uncomfortable. My goal is to get the two of you comfortable enough in front of the camera that everything looks and feels natural.

How far in advance should we book?

You should reach out as soon as you know your date. Wedding season books up fast in New England. I recommend couples reach out at least 12 months in advance. If your wedding is sooner than that, you should still reach out as I could still have your date available.

What does the booking process look like?

Step 1: Fill out my Contact Form and book some time on my calendar

Step 2: I will follow up to confirm I got your inquiry and that I have your date available

Step 3: On our call we will discuss your day, and take the time to get to know each other to make sure this is a good fit

Step 4: When you’re ready to book, you sign your contract and put down a retainer to secure your date

What's included in your wedding coverage?

Every wedding gets 6-10 hours of coverage, an online digital gallery with print ordering, complimentary album design, and pre-wedding timeline planning and consultation.

What is the Nostalgia Wedding Video Experience?

It's one of my favorite things to bring to a wedding. Remember your parents' old VHS camcorder? Mine's coming to your day. You'll use it, your guests will use it, and the result is something wonderfully, intentionally imperfect — raw, grainy footage that feels like a memory even the first time you watch it. I’ll digitize everything so it lives alongside your gallery forever. It's included with every wedding at no extra cost.

How many photos will we receive?

It varies depending on the day, but most couples receive between 800 and 1200 fully edited images. I'd rather deliver a gallery of images that all mean something than pad the count with duplicates and throwaways.

How long until we receive our photos?

You will get a highlight gallery of 50-75 photos within a week after your wedding. Your full gallery will be delivered within 8-12 weeks after your wedding.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes, and I love getting out of the city. I'll drive up to two hours each way at no additional cost, which covers most of New England. For weddings beyond that, a travel fee applies, and depending on the location, accommodations may be required as well. Destination weddings are always worth a conversation — reach out and we'll figure out the details together.

Do you work with a second photographer?

A second photographer is available as an add-on for $1,000. It's a great option if you want more complete coverage. While I'm with you for portraits or key moments, a second shooter captures everything happening on the other side of the room. Worth it for larger weddings or couples who want a fuller story told.

What happens if you get sick or have an emergency?

In the decade plus I’ve been doing this, I’ve never missed a wedding. In the unlikely event that something prevents me from shooting your wedding, I have a network of trusted photographers I can call on.

Do you have backup equipment?

Always. I shoot with professional cameras and carry backups of everything — bodies, lenses, batteries, memory cards.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

A deposit is required to secure your date, with the remaining balance due one month before your wedding day. Full details are outlined in your contract. Life happens — if something changes on your end, reach out and we'll have an honest conversation about it.

We're not the most photogenic couple. Can you still make us look good?

“I’m not photogenic” is one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves. Everyone is photogenic. Still, most of my clients say some version of this before we work together — and every single one of them ends up with photos they love. The trick isn't posing. It's making you comfortable enough to forget I'm there. Give me a chance to prove you wrong.

Do you shoot elopements?

Absolutely. Elopements are one of my favorite things to document — intimate, intentional, and completely yours. The same approach applies: I show up, I pay attention, and I stay out of the way so your day can unfold exactly as it should.

How do we get started?

Fill out the contact form and tell me a little about your day. I'll be back in touch within 48 hours and we'll take it from there.
