Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a St. Louis wedding photographer?
Yes, I’m a St. Louis wedding photographer serving couples throughout St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and surrounding Missouri areas. I regularly photograph weddings in Forest Park, downtown St. Louis, and at many of the area’s most loved venues. Whether your day is intimate or full-scale, my approach stays the same: documenting your wedding honestly, beautifully, and with intention.
How would you describe your wedding photography style?
My style is timeless, romantic, and documentary-driven. I focus on real moments as they naturally unfold, the quiet in-between glances, the laughter, the emotion, while still offering gentle guidance during portraits so you never feel awkward or overly posed. My goal is for your photos to feel like memories, not a performance.
Do you focus more on candid or posed photos?
I lean heavily into candid photography while creating space for intentional portraits. Most of your wedding day is photographed unobtrusively so moments can happen naturally. During portraits, I provide light direction that allows you to stay present with each other while still looking your best.
How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?
Most couples book 9–15 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season in St. Louis. I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every couple receives my full attention, so dates can fill quickly. If your date is sooner, it’s always worth reaching out — availability can vary.
How many hours of wedding photography coverage do we need?
Most St. Louis weddings benefit from 8–10 hours of coverage, depending on your timeline, number of locations, and overall flow of the day. I help every couple determine the right amount of coverage so nothing feels rushed and the story of your day is documented fully from start to finish.
Do your wedding packages include a second photographer?
Most packages include a second photographer, while others offer it as an add-on. A second photographer is especially helpful for larger weddings, multiple locations, or overlapping moments like getting ready. I’ll help you decide what makes the most sense for your specific day.
Can you help us with our wedding day timeline?
Absolutely. I work closely with my couples (and planners, if applicable) to create a photography-friendly timeline that allows space for real moments while keeping the day flowing smoothly. Thoughtful timelines make a huge difference in how relaxed your wedding day feels — and how your photos turn out.
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
Rain is never something to stress about. I come prepared with backup plans, indoor options, and a flexible mindset. Some of the most emotional and beautiful wedding photos happen on rainy days — it’s all about adapting and embracing the moment.
How long does it take to receive our wedding photos?
You can expect to receive your fully edited wedding gallery within 8–10 weeks. Every image is carefully curated and edited to reflect my signature, timeless style — warm tones, true-to-life color, and a film-inspired feel that won’t look dated years from now.
Do you edit all the images yourself?
Yes. Every image is edited by me to maintain a consistent, cohesive look across your gallery. My editing style is designed to feel timeless and natural — avoiding overly trendy tones so your photos age beautifully.
What makes your wedding photography different?
I value connection, calm presence, and intentional storytelling. Couples often tell me they felt comfortable, supported, and able to truly enjoy their day — and that’s always my goal. I don’t just photograph what your wedding looked like, but what it felt like.
