FAQS

 

✧* Why should I book my wedding photographer early?

Wedding vendors often book out far in advance, especially for popular dates and peak seasons. We never want couples to feel rushed. Reaching out early ensures your date is available and officially reserved with us.

We are currently booking into 2027, and many high demand dates fill quickly. The sooner you inquire, the more likely we’re able to be part of your day and fully document your story exactly as it unfolds

✧* Where are you located? Do you travel? ‍

We are based in California’s Central Valley.

Yes, we travel throughout California, out of state, and internationally. We absolutely love experiencing new places with our couples and creating meaningful work wherever your story takes you.

Travel fees may apply depending on location ✧*

✧* Do you only shoot Elopements Weddings?

We offer photography for much more than just elopements and weddings.

Our sessions include proposals, engagements, families, seniors, and other meaningful milestones. If it’s an important season in your life, we’re here to document it with intention and care. You can inquire for those here ✧*

✧* We’ve never had professional photos taken. Will it feel awkward?

It’s completely normal to feel unsure in front of the camera. Not knowing where to put your hands, how to pose, or whether to smile.

That’s where we step in.

We guide you throughout the entire experience so nothing ever feels forced or uncomfortable. Our approach is a mix of gentle direction and candid moments, allowing your connection and personality to naturally lead the session.

Our goal is for you to feel comfortable, confident, and fully yourself. All while providing you with images you’re genuinely happy with. ✧*

✧* Can we receive RAW photos instead of edited images?

Editing is a key part of our creative process and how we bring your images to life. Because of this, we do not deliver RAW files.

You will receive a fully curated gallery of professionally edited, high resolution images that reflect our signature style and quality ✧*

✧* How will I receive my photos?

Your final edited images are delivered through a private online gallery.

From there, you can easily download, share, and save your photos in high resolution. The gallery also allows you to share directly with family, friends, and across social platforms ✧*

✧* How does the booking process work?

Booking your session is simple and intentional:

  1. Submit an inquiry through our contact form here

  2. We connect and chat about your vision, date, and details

  3. A signed contract + 50% retainer officially secures your date

  4. Once completed, your booking is confirmed
