I offer color touching to your favorite photos. I can highlight your bouquet, your husband's boutonniere, or your daughter's reflection in a mirror.

My specialty is outdoor, intimate weddings, however, I will photograph any outdoor event no matter how large or small.

I certainly do! I pride myself in being early and capturing all of the details you have spent months planning.
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
I shoot only one event in a day.

I am available for any overtime work as needed by the Bride and Groom at a rate of $50 per hour.
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
I try not to take my eyes off of the Bride and Groom. I am paid to photograph the entire event and will take as many photos as possible to cover the entire event.
Do you charge for travel?
I charge an additional fee for traveling to a location outside of the Triangle area.
How soon after the event are the proofs ready for viewing?
Since my photos are provided to the newlyweds on a DVD, I do not put up "proofs", but give them the actual, full size digital images for their use.
In what format are the initial proofs offered?
