Frequently asked
The answers should be plain.
Start here for the practical details. If your situation is different, ask the actual question.
Sessions
How do we book?
Send an inquiry with the session type, preferred date, location, and people involved. If the date and fit are right, your agreement and retainer make it official.
Do you help with location, timing, and clothing?
Yes. Recommendations are shaped around the people, season, tide or venue, and visual result you want.
What happens if the weather turns?
We watch the conditions and make the best practical call for the people and location. Portrait sessions may shift time, location, or date when necessary.
Weddings
Do you use flash during ceremonies?
No. Ceremonies are photographed with the light already present so the atmosphere and attention stay where they belong. Controlled light may be used for portraits and receptions when it improves the photograph.
How many photographs come with a wedding?
Wedding galleries are delivered as complete curated stories, not sold by image count. Duplicate expressions, test frames, and weaker variations are removed.
Is Charleston wedding-day travel included?
Yes, in the listed Charleston collections. Other markets and longer-distance work are quoted around mileage, time, lodging when necessary, and the value of the booking.
Galleries
How many photographs do portrait sessions include?
Short Story includes 20 finished photographs, Signature includes 40, and Legacy includes the full curated gallery—usually 75–100.
Can we buy more digital photographs?
Yes. Add one for $25, five for $100, ten for $175, or the remaining curated gallery for $250. The full-gallery upgrade can be prepaid for $195.
Do you deliver RAW files?
No. Finished color, contrast, crop, and visual consistency are part of the work. RAW files are unfinished source material.
Artwork
Can we print the files ourselves?
Included high-resolution files come with personal printing rights. Professional products are recommended when color, longevity, and presentation matter.
Do you sell prints and albums?
Yes. Professional prints, framed wall art, and albums can be ordered from finished galleries without a high-pressure sales appointment.
Travel & Home
Do you travel?
Yes. Charleston wedding-day travel is included in the listed collections. Other locations are quoted honestly around the time and cost required.
Do you photograph inside homes?
Yes. Legacy offers environmental in-home stories and mobile-studio portraits, especially useful for babies, multi-generation families, winter, or a home with meaning.
