It means there are no hours of photography limited on your wedding day, I've shot an Indian wedding from 7 am getting ready to 11 pm reception ends, a total of 16 hours. But I do not work over midnight unless there is a reason for it, because there could be another wedding the next day.

How many pictures will we receive?

I believe in quality over quantity, but I never set limits. The number of photographs taken depends on many things - the number of guests, hours of coverage, types of events, and the weather. My average for a wedding after selecting and editing is 500 - 800+ images, and my average after selecting and editing with a second photographer is 700 - 1000+ images, but those numbers may vary depending on the day itself.


Have you shot at my venue before?

I have worked at more than 100 venues, so there is a good chance that I have. However, if I have not, I will get to the venue early on the day of and be sure to do a walk-through to scout out the best photography locations. I also do extensive online research prior to your big day!


My venue is very dark. How do you handle these situations?

I have shot in the darkest of dark chapels and reception halls so no need to worry! If the situation allows, I will set up additional lighting to ensure I get the best pictures.
