Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, and I love them. My own wedding had just 7 guests, including us. Elopements and micro weddings get the same story-led, film-forward approach as a full wedding weekend, just at a more intimate scale. If it's just the two of you (or the two of you and a small group who matter most), I'd love to hear what you're planning.

Most couples investing in wedding photography with me spend between $14,500 and $22,000, depending on coverage, travel, and whether Super 8 film is added. Every package includes travel and a second photographer, so there's no guessing at add-ons later.

‍That said, every celebration is different. If you're planning something intimate or especially unique and feel a genuine connection to my work, I'd still love to hear what you've imagined. I'll always do my best to point you toward the right fit, whether that's a custom quote or another thoughtful recommendation.

Every collection includes a second photographer, travel, and your full gallery delivered within 8-12 weeks. You’ll also receive your original negatives mailed back to you along with an artist's selection of heirloom prints.

I consider myself a film-forward wedding photographer, which means film leads the way I document your day. You can expect me to arrive on your wedding day with a range of film and digital cameras (usually around 6 to 10 film cameras and 1 to 2 digital cameras), and to always have at least one of each in hand. My film work spans medium format, 35mm, and large format.

I'll always choose the right camera for the right moment, but film has my heart. And if you've found your way here, chances are it has yours, too.

You can expect me to pack anywhere from 6 to 10 cameras for your wedding day or wedding weekend, shooting a mix of 35mm, medium format, large format, and instant film. A few of my favorite film cameras to bring to weddings include my Leica M6, Hasselblad 500c/m, Plaubel Makina 67, Mamiya RZ67, Leica M6, and Intrepid 4x5.

Don't be surprised to see a few more cameras in my kit, too, including point-and-shoots from the early aughts or toy cameras like my beloved Holga and Polaroid SX-70.

Yes. I offer Super 8 wedding videography, and I partner with a small group of talented wedding videographers to offer digital videography on wedding days as well.

If you're unfamiliar with Super 8, think of it as the candid, unfussy home movies of childhood: soft, grainy, and built to stand the test of time. The entire filming process is analog, and the film is digitized after development, which allows for editing and the addition of audio or music in post-production.

Yes, absolutely, and multi-day wedding photography is some of my favorite work. When your people have time to arrive, settle in, and be fully themselves, the whole weekend opens up. Welcome parties and rehearsal dinners often hold the sweetest in-between moments, and they let me meet all your favorite people ahead of the wedding day itself.

‍Quality time is my love language, and it's a big part of why I'm drawn to multi-day celebrations and destination wedding weekends. If there are other moments that feel meaningful to your story, engagement parties, dress shopping, wedding showers, even a bachelorette party, I'm always happy to talk about covering those too. Those chapters matter, and I'd love to be there for them.

‍If you're planning a multi-day celebration, tell me what you're dreaming up and I'll share coverage options that support the shape and pace of your weekend.

Absolutely! Spending time with my couples before the wedding day is my favorite way to get to know you two on a human level and build trust together. I'd love to spend a day in your neighborhood, or mine, experiencing your favorite things as a couple. In the past, I've joined couples for meals at home, a ferry ride to the Harbor Islands outside of Portland, Maine, a hike in the Green Mountains, and even shown one couple my favorite secret swimming hole in the Catskills.

I promise to bring a camera along, and maybe a loaf of bread from my favorite local bakery.

You can expect your full wedding gallery within 8 weeks. I'm thoughtful with the editing process because I want your photographs to feel cohesive, timeless, and true to what the day actually felt like. Each couple also has the option to receive sneak peeks, a small handful of images to hold you over while the full story is being finished.

After your gallery is delivered, I'll mail back your original film negatives along with an artist's selection of heirloom-quality prints. I like to think of it as the beginning of your family archive, something real to tuck away and return to years from now.

Every wedding day is a little different, and I photograph in a story-led way rather than aiming for a strict number. You can expect a full narrative of your day, from the quiet beginnings to the big moments and everything in between. Most couples receive 400 to 600 photographs for single-day coverage, and 800 or more from a multi-day celebration, thoughtfully edited and delivered as one cohesive gallery.

Yes, and in most cases, there's always second photographer with me on your wedding day. I work with a small circle of photographers I truly love, artists in their own right and some of my favorite photographers, period.

Having a second photographer adds ease on a wedding day and dimension to your gallery. It means more coverage without more visible presence, more room for the day to unfold naturally, and more of the small moments happening in parallel. While I'm with you, they can be capturing your guests arriving, the hugs you miss, the texture of the room, or a different angle of a moment you'll want to remember forever.

For more intimate celebrations, and for destination weddings with fewer than 75 guests, I'm also very happy to work solo. We'll talk through the shape of your day and choose what feels most supportive, calm, and true to the experience you're creating.

The first step is to reach out through my contact form. After I receive your inquiry, I'll send over information on my photography packages along with my calendar, so we can set up a call. Once we've connected and agreed to work together, I'll send a contract along with a request for a 30% retainer to hold your date.

Most of my couples book 12 to 18 months out, and dates in peak season (May - September) tend to go first. If you already know your date and have a signed contract with your venue, I'd reach out as soon as you can. If you're still deciding, I'm happy to talk timeline with you too.

I do. Send me an email and we can set up a time to meet, in the Hudson Valley or online. We can talk through all things film, photography, or business. I especially love connecting with artists looking to make the leap to large format (4x5 or 8x10), strengthen their client relationships and workflow, or nail down a unique editing style, though we can really dive into anything.
