Should travel expenses be a part of your situation, these will all be discussed with you up front, prior to booking. We will never throw in travel costs unexpectedly.
Do you offer payment plans?
Although, we do require a 50% retainer to book our weddings, we understand that this may not always be a plausible case for some. We are more than willing to work with all our clients on options to help make their booking easy for them. Please don't hesitate to discuss these options with us.
We want to include our dog into the ceremony and photos, is that okay?
Absolutely!! We have both have dogs of our own, and absolutely love our four-legged friends. Heck, we'd even let you bring a goat to the shoot.
Do you have a contract?
Absolutely! We back all our weddings with a contract signed by both parties. This is for your protection as well as ours.
Can we meet you before the wedding?
Absolutely! Of course, most of our interactions before the big day will be via phone or email, but WE want to know YOU and encourage in person/FaceTime/Zoom calls to get know every part of your vision.

Getting to know you both as a couple is beyond important.

For photos, we use both Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop.

YES! If you book and pay in full at the time of booking, we do offer 10% off the entire total of the package. This is for all of our wedding packages.
FAQ
What types of photography services do you offer?
We offer a wide range of photography & videography services, including weddings, engagements, family, individuals, sports, seniors, special events, stock shows and livestock/equine. We are also very open to anything different, if you need something that isn't specifically listed here.
How do I book a photography session with your team?
Can we choose the location for our photo shoot?
Absolutely! We believe that the location plays a significant role in capturing unique and personalized photographs. Whether it's at your home, a scenic outdoor location, or a venue of your choice, we're open to capturing your portraits in a place that holds meaning to you. But if you do not know of a place you'd like to have your session, no worries! We have a ton of locations to choose from, and can always show you work from previous clients in these locations.
How long does a typical photo session last?
The duration of a photo session varies depending on the type and scope of the project. Portrait sessions typically range from 30 minutes to 2 hours (yes that's a big range, but again, every session has different needs), while events and weddings can span several hours. We strive to provide ample time to capture all the important moments and ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the session. We can absolutely discuss timing beforehand to help give you and your situation the time that's needed.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
We understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. Our editing process typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. We prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations. But don't worry, if we get them done sooner, you will absolutely receive them as soon as possible. We hate making you wait any longer than needed.
What happens if the weather is unfavorable on the day of an outdoor shoot?
If the weather doesn't cooperate on the day of an outdoor shoot, we can discuss alternatives such as rescheduling the session or finding an indoor location. We do not operate out of an indoor studio, so the weather is an important factor. We want to ensure the best possible outcome for your photos, and we're flexible in adapting to unforeseen circumstances, and schedule changes.
What if we don't know how to pose?
We have all kinds of poses both in our heads, and reference pictures for visual people. We will guide you every step of the way if you need it. If you have poses and pictures of inspiration that you'd like to try, please don't hesitate to show us, and we will work together to accomplish your vision.
How do we receive our final pictures?
All of our pictures will be sent via an online gallery. This gallery can be public, or you have the option to make it private where only those with a passcode provided by us, can access. These online gallery are very easy to access both on a desktop and mobile device. You can download them anywhere, in the highest resolution and they are ready to print or share on your social media page. We also have a print shop connected to each gallery, giving you the option for all kinds of printing options right at your finger tips from the gallery itself.
Can we add a video session to our photography session?
Absolutely! We love being able to have that option available for you, and if your session calls for some fun video needs, we hope you take us up on it. These are great additions to maternity shoots, senior sessions, and engagements. Short films during these sessions make for a whole other level of special memories, and announcements to friends and family of a special occasion or save the date. But the video doesn't stop there. You can add video options to ANY session we offer. Pricing all varies depending on session type and what's needed, so please don't hesitate to reach out and we can discuss options and pricing geared specifically for you.
Do you offer military/veterans discounts?
YES!! 1000 times YES! We love our country, and most of all, we love those who are fighting and have fought for our country. To show our appreciation to our active military and veterans, we offer 15% off our prices. This is for all of our session types!
