Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you based?
I live in Pacific Grove, near Monterey, and travel all over for celebrations.
Do you photograph destination weddings?
Yes! I love to travel near and far and see the city that inspires you to say ‘I do.” I am available for destinations all around the US and beyond. I hold Italian citizenship and can legally work in all 27 EU countries.
Do you design wedding albums?
Absolutely. Your wedding images are meant to be enjoyed snuggled together on a couch with a glass of wine in hand, flipping through the pages of your custom album. Not a USB that get’s lost in a desk drawer for years.
What are your travel fees?
Travel fees are straightforward and typically include flight and two nights hotel accommodations.
Do you use second shooters?
It depends on the size of your wedding, and your schedule. Having a second shooter adds a whole other perspective and angle of your wedding day, all while allowing me to be in two places at once. I recommend a second shooter for weddings of 100 guests or larger, and especially if you are not planning a first look.
How many images can we expect from our wedding?
You will receive between 50-100 per hour depending on the number of photographer.
How long after our wedding until we see the images?
You will receive a sneak peek within two days of your wedding. The full gallery will be ready to enjoy in eight weeks.
Do you photograph elopements?
All the time! I love intimate weddings and whether it’s just you two or ten of your closest people, I’d love to tell that story.
How would you describe your style?
Modern and bright with a lot of life. I believe your wedding photographer is your most important decision of the day and use my years of experience to balance documenting and observing with noticing any details that needs tweaking. I will let you know when you need to reapply lipstick or if your hair is out of place during formals. I use my editing as a tool to enhance each and every image in a way that will look beautiful in 30 years, not just today’s trend.
