FAQs
How much of our wedding day is shot on film versus digital?
I consider my approach to photographing wedding days film-first. You can expect me to show up with a variety of film cameras and digital cameras on your wedding day, to always have at least one of each on my hip, and for your final gallery to be a hybrid of both. While I’ll always choose the right camera for the right moment, film has my heart, and if you’ve found yourself here, likely yours too!
What film cameras do you use on a wedding day?
You can expect me to pack anywhere from 6-10 cameras for your wedding day or wedding weekend. I photograph on a variety of 35mm, medium format, and even large format cameras. A few of my favorite cameras to bring to weddings include my Leica M6, Hasselblad 501c, Plaubel Makina 67 and Intrepid Camera Company 4x5. Don’t be surprised to see a few more cameras in my kit on your wedding day including point-and-shoots or toy cameras (Holga!).
Do you offer videography services?
I offer Super8 videography, and partner with some amazing videographers to offer digital videography services on wedding days. Unfamiliar with Super8? It’s essentially like the home movies of our childhood. Think nostalgia, the right amount of softness and grain, and something that stands the test of time. While the entire filming process is analog, the film is digitized after development. This allows for editing and the addition of audio or music in post-production.
Do you travel for weddings?
All the time! While I am based in New York and Vermont, you can take me anywhere! Some of my favorite places to travel and make photographs include Tucson, Arizona; Marin County, California; Steamboat Springs, Colorado; and Bar Harbor, Maine. I’m always open to exploring new places and include travel costs in all of my wedding packages.
How do I hire you?
The first step is to reach out on my contact form! After I receive your inquiry, I’ll send over some information regarding my photography packages and send over my calendar to set up a call. After we’ve connected and agreed to work together, I will send over a contract and information regarding a retainer. From there, we’ll move into setting up quality time to connect ahead of your wedding day and plan a seamless photography timeline together.
Do you offer mentorships?
I do! Send me an email and we can chat about setting up a time to meet in the Hudson Valley or online. We can go over all things film, photography or business. I love connecting with artists looking to make the leap to large formats (4x5 or 8x10), strengthen their client connection and workflow, or nail a unique editing style, though we can truly dive into anything!
