I schedule 2 hours for an engagement session, this allows us a chance to get to know each other more and play creatively with photos.

I like a spot that truly matches the theme or personality of the people being photographed.. I love color, texture, sentimental meanng, I generally prioritze locations based on lighting and go from there.

Whats the avg turn around time for engagement/wedding proofs?
Engagement photos can be expected in about 2-3 weeks and wedding photos can be expected in roughly 3-6 weeks after the wedding. Images may take longer if a second photographer was included in your package. If purchased, your disc of images should arrive about 1 week after the proofs are releaseed online unless further editing or retouching is requested.

How do you choose a second photographer?
I have had the oppotunity to meet some wonderful photographers in the industry. I choose a shooter based on their professionalism, quality of work, and how well we work together as a team. I have some regulars that I absolutely LOVE working with.
