Wedding FAQ

Unlike many wedding photographers, I do not require 50% of your package down to book. Instead, I require a flat $1000 non-refundable retainer. This allows you to secure your date now and choose your package later as your planning evolves.

I live for adventure and I'd love to travel to be a part of yours. For anywhere beyond 50 miles from Pittsburgh, PA, I require an additional travel fee of 58 cents per mile after 50 miles.
