Frequently Asked Questions
Here are a few things we get asked a lot. Don't see your question? Message us, and let us know how we can help.
When Should we book our photographer?
I recommend booking your wedding photographer as soon as you have your date and venue locked in—ideally 9 to 18 months in advance. However, reach out to see if we have any last minute availability.
Popular wedding seasons in Tulsa, like spring and fall, can fill up quickly, especially for LGBTQIA+ and destination weddings, so early booking ensures you secure your spot!
If you’re planning a destination wedding in iconic U.S. spots like Zion National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, or the beaches of California, it’s even more important to reach out early so we can coordinate travel and make sure every detail is covered.
What type of photos do you typically take?
I specialize in a mix of candid and guided photos that feel authentic to your love story. My style is often called “candid with direction”—capturing those unscripted moments of joy, laughter, and connection while stepping in to guide you into natural, flattering poses when needed.
Whether it’s a vibrant LGBTQIA+ wedding in Tulsa, an intimate ceremony at Zion National Park, or a chic downtown celebration, my goal is to document every detail: heartfelt vows, emotional first looks, fun-filled receptions, and the quiet moments in between. I focus on creating timeless images with True Tone editing to make sure your photos are vibrant, authentic, and never feel over-styled or trendy.
From the rolling landscapes of Oklahoma to destination weddings in top U.S. spots like the Smoky Mountains, Big Sur, or Napa Valley, I tailor every shot to highlight your unique connection and the beauty of your surroundings.
How long will it take to receive my photos?
I know how excited you’ll be to relive your wedding day, so I work hard to deliver your photos in about two weeks! That quick turnaround ensures you can start sharing your memories while they’re still fresh.
For Tulsa weddings and local celebrations, the turnaround is consistent regardless of whether it’s a grand ballroom affair or a charming outdoor ceremony. If you’re planning a destination wedding in breathtaking locations like Zion National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, or the beaches of California, travel logistics may extend delivery slightly, but I’ll always keep you updated on the process.
Every photo is individually edited in my True Tone style to preserve vibrant, timeless colors. Whether you’re celebrating in Tulsa, with your LGBTQIA+ community, or in a top U.S. destination, I ensure your gallery is worth the wait!

What's your editing style
My editing style is called True Tone, and it’s all about keeping your photos authentic, timeless, and vibrant. I focus on color correction to make sure every photo reflects the real-life tones of your day while adding just the right touch of warmth and vibrancy. This way, your images never feel overdone or trendy—they’ll look just as stunning decades from now as they do today.
Whether it’s the lush greens of a Tulsa outdoor wedding, the rich reds of Zion National Park, or the golden glow of a California beach sunset, my editing enhances the natural beauty of your surroundings while making sure you remain the focal point. It’s perfect for capturing the authenticity of weddings and the breathtaking scenery of destination celebrations. True Tone ensures your love story is preserved beautifully, exactly how it happened.
How many weddings have you photographed?
I’ve had the honor of photographing over 400 weddings! With this experience, I bring a calm, confident energy to your big day, ensuring that every detail—big or small—is beautifully documented. Whether it’s a cozy backyard ceremony or a grand event in a top U.S. destination, I’ve seen it all and am ready to capture your love story in the most authentic way possible.
How much do you charge?
For detailed pricing and options, head over to my Services Page. You’ll find all the information about my packages, add-ons, and engagement sessions there. Let’s find the perfect option for capturing your love story!
Will you be the photographer on the day?
Yes, absolutely—I’ll personally be there to capture your wedding day! I take pride in being behind the camera to document every moment. If you’ve added a second photographer to your package, they’ll assist in covering additional angles and moments, but I’ll always be the primary photographer making sure your love story is told beautifully and authentically. Your day is too important to leave in anyone else’s hands!
What kind of equipment do you use
I use professional-grade gear to ensure your wedding photos are nothing short of stunning. My main camera is the Sony A7IV, a powerhouse for capturing crisp, vibrant images in any lighting situation. I pair it with prime lenses for their incredible sharpness and dreamy, natural backgrounds, perfect for everything from emotional candid moments to breathtaking portraits. This equipment allows me to adapt seamlessly to any environment and capture your day in all its beauty. Rest assured, your memories are in expert hands!
I always carry two cameras at all times during your wedding to ensure I’m capturing every moment from multiple perspectives. This setup allows me to switch seamlessly between different lenses—like a wide-angle lens for sweeping venue shots and a prime lens for those intimate, emotional close-ups.
This approach adds a diverse and dynamic look to your wedding gallery. Your love story deserves to be documented in its fullest, most beautiful form!
Do you have backup equipment if something were to malfunction?
Absolutely! I always come prepared with backup cameras, lenses, batteries, and memory cards to ensure nothing interrupts capturing your special day. While I shoot primarily with my Sony A7IV, I bring additional gear to step in seamlessly if anything unexpected happens.
Rest assured, I have every precaution in place to make sure your wedding day is beautifully documented without any hiccups!
Do you back up my photos?
Your wedding photos are priceless, and I take every precaution to ensure they’re safe. During your wedding, I shoot with cameras that save to dual memory cards, so your images are instantly backed up. After the day, I upload your photos to multiple secure locations, including external hard drives and cloud storage, for extra peace of mind. Your memories are protected every step of the way.
Can I make requests for certain photos?
Of course! This is your special day, and I want to make sure I capture all the moments that matter most to you. Whether it’s a must-have shot with your grandmother, a specific detail of your custom bouquet, or a creative idea you’ve been dreaming of, I’m all ears. On the wedding day, I’ll seamlessly incorporate these moments while keeping the flow of your celebration natural and relaxed. Your wedding photos should reflect your unique love story, and I’m here to bring that to life!
What is your policy on retouching photos?
My approach to retouching is all about keeping your photos authentic while enhancing their natural beauty. Every image in your gallery will go through my True Tone editing style, where I adjust colors, lighting, and tones to create vibrant, timeless photos.
If you’d like more extensive retouching, such as removing objects from the background, I can accommodate that for an additional fee.
My goal is to create images that reflect the authentic beauty of your day while giving them a polished, professional finish. Your love story deserves nothing less!
Who makes our timeline?
Crafting your wedding day timeline is a team effort! I’m here to help you create a schedule that ensures we capture every important moment while keeping the day smooth and stress-free.
For weddings in Tulsa, or stunning destination venues like Big Sur, Napa Valley, or the Great Smoky Mountains, I’ll collaborate with you and your planner (if you have one) to design a timeline that flows naturally. Together, we’ll plan for key events—like your first look, family portraits, and golden hour shots—to make the most of your day while keeping it relaxed and enjoyable.
If you don’t have a planner, no problem—I’ll guide you through creating a timeline that prioritizes both your celebration and the moments you want captured. Your day should feel effortless, and I’m here to make that happen!
