You’ve Got Questions? I’ve Got Answers!

What’s it like working with you?

In short? It’s like hanging out with your slightly introverted but super chill friend who just so happens to have a camera.
I’m quirky, laid back, and all about the good vibes.
During our shoot, I’ll guide you every step of the way—think gentle prompts, not stiff poses. You’re free to be as open or reserved as you like. The magic happens when you let go and just be yourselves. Laugh, snuggle, cry a little (happy tears!), and I’ll be there catching all the in-between bits.

Do you shoot alone or bring a second shooter?

Most of the time, it’s just me—your solo camera ninja. I actually work best this way: it’s more personal, less invasive, and it keeps the focus on you, not a whole production crew.BUT... if you’re having a massive wedding party, or you just really love the idea of extra coverage, I can totally bring on a second shooter. Just give me a heads-up and I’ll make it happen. Easy peasy.

“Okay Jesse, my partner and I are awkward as heck... is that going to be a problem?”

Short answer: HECK no.
Longer answer: Honestly? I thrive with awkward humans. Awkward is real. Awkward is adorable. And awkward often makes the BEST photos.

To help, we’ll do a little pre-session warm-up—coffee date, Zoom chat, interpretive dance... okay, maybe not that last one (unless you’re into it). I’ll share some tips and tricks tailored just for my wonderfully weird couples, and we’ll chat about your story, your vibe, and what makes you tick.

You don’t need to know how to pose. You just need to show up, love on each other, and let me handle the rest. Remember: we’re not “taking photos,” we’re making memories. And memories don’t need to be perfect to be beautiful.

Will we chat before the big day?

Oh, absolutely.
I’m all about communication. We’ll meet up (virtually or in person) as many times as needed—usually two or three. I’ll also keep in touch throughout the planning process so we’re always on the same page.

Contrary to popular belief, wedding photography isn’t a “show up and shoot” gig. Planning is KEY. The better we plan together, the more natural and magical your photos will be. So yes, I should totally be a part of your wedding planning. Trust me on this one.

When do we get our photos and how?

Your gallery will be ready in four to six weeks for weddings (but I always aim for the sooner side!).
Engagement and couple sessions? Expect your goodies in about two to four weeks.

Wedding packages come with a beautifully custom USB, because who doesn’t love something tactile and fancy?
All other sessions are delivered via a private online gallery for easy viewing, downloading, and sharing with grandma.
