Frequently asked questions.

  • A signed contract and 30% non-refundable retainer fee are due up front to book your date in my calendar.

    The remainder balance is due in full 30 days prior to your wedding. Accepted payment options include major credit cards, e-transfer, paypal, and cash.

  • Typically 10-18 months in advance, as soon as you have a date and venue.

    For winter and/or off season dates, I could have the date available a few weeks before so do not hesitate to ask.

  • There is no charge for travel within 30km of the city of Calgary and Banff National Park. For weddings outside this area, I will plan something out with you so we can find the most appropriate travelling options (whether it is a flight or a drive).

    - Calgary + Rockies: no travel fee

    - Alberta: Calculated as $1/km round trip. If the destination is more than 300km from Calgary, it is a flat rate of $300. If destination is beyond 300 km, it will be a custom quote based on current airfare prices and 2 nights stay of accommodation.

    - Canada: Custom quote based on current airfare price and 2 nights stay of accommodation near the venua/area (day before & day after the wedding). Typical investment is $1,000.

    - International: Custom quote based on current airfare prices and 2 nights stay of accommodation (day before & day after the wedding). Typical investment is $2,000.

  • My turn around time for weddings is 6-8 weeks but it can go up to 10 weeks during the summer months. Engagement sessions turnaround is 2 weeks.

  • The amount of photos depends greatly on your day but I will be able to give you about 50 to 60 images per hour of coverage, and increases with the addition of a second photographer.

  • Yes, film is available as an add-on for all services! I shoot on 35mm.

  • As of the 2024 season, I have a list of videographers with a similar style to me that I can recommend.

    I am working on my own videography portfolio to be able to offer photo + video packages for 2025 onwards. If you are interested, please mention this in our initial consultation for discounted rates due to lack of portfolio.

    For any future photo + video packages, I will be the lead photographer and bring on a lead videographer. I will still be the one in charge of editing the footage.

  • I have a hidden portfolio for almost every kind of photography so feel free to reach out to view them. I take any photography requests as long as I am confident that I can serve you and if it fits into my schedule. Please note that weekends are reserved for weddings & elopements.

  • If you decide to cancel your session you forfeit the retainer fee.

    If circumstances arise and you must reschedule, we can do so if it fits into my calendar. There will be no additional fees.

    You can reschedule a session up to 3 times, after that the retainer fee is forfeited.

    If weather is uncooperative and we mutually agree to switch dates, there will be no additional fees.

  • I do not because editing is half the magic that goes into my creative process.

    I also only edit my own & second shooters’ photographs.

    Please be advised that if you are considering to ask for RAW/unedited images, I am not the photographer for you.

  • Besides color correcting, I retouch impermanent blemishes/marks/bruises. I don’t retouch anything that is part of your body (i.e. curves, double chins, etc). If you are particularly self conscious about something please let me know as I want you to feel 100% comfortable and confident with the posing and direction I give you while we shoot.

  • I have a team of associate photographers I can send! If I am personally unavailable, you have the option of selecting an associate shooter who would physically photograph your wedding day and I would be the one to edit all your final images in my style. Any package booked with an associate shooter gets a 15% discount.
