Why Photography is an Investment Worth Making
Photography is more than just images; they tangible moments you can hold in your hands. Each photograph is a memory, ready to be shared with your loved ones, passed down through generations. Whether it's an engagement session or your wedding day, I'm committed to investing in a relationship with you. My aim is that when you revisit your photos, they instantly rekindle the emotions of those priceless moments.

FAQ
DO YOU TRAVEL?
Absolutely! I'm always on the move, exploring new and exciting destinations with my camera in hand. I've been fortunate to capture love stories in some truly unforgettable places. No distance is too far when it comes to documenting your special moments. When discussing your event or wedding, please share the location details so I can provide you with an accurate quote. Whether it's your dream destination or a place close to your heart, just let me know, and we'll make it happen!
DO YOU WORK WITH LGBTQIA+ COUPLES?
Absolutely. This is a space where all love is celebrated wholeheartedly. When you step in front of my camera, my priority is to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel truly seen and valued. Being a part of your journey is a privilege I deeply cherish, and I want you to feel nothing but honored and embraced throughout our time together.
WHAT IS YOUR TURN AROUND TIME?
Typically, I aim to deliver engagement session photos within 2 to 3 weeks. For weddings, the turnaround time is between 6 to 8 weeks. This timeframe allows me to dedicate the necessary attention and care to each individual wedding or elopement. Your satisfaction and the quality of your images are my top priorities. Rushing through the editing process is not something I believe in. I want to ensure that every image you receive reflects the beauty and significance of your special day, and that's why I take the time needed to perfect them.
WHAT'S ALL INCLUDED IN YOUR WEDDING PACKAGES?
When you book with me, you'll receive an extensive wedding planning guide packed with invaluable tips honed from years of experience. I provide an online downloadable gallery showcasing hand-picked, high-resolution, edited images. Additionally, I offer assistance with timeline creation, vendor referrals, and a full print release for your convenience. I'll work closely with you to craft a personalized timeline, ensuring ample time for family portraits, bridal shots, getting ready moments, and those magical golden hour photos.
CAN YOU HELP US WITH POSING?
Absolutely! That's my expertise! Typically, I'll start a session by guiding you into a pose, and then we'll see where it naturally evolves from there. I specialize in capturing moments that truly reflect your personality, often by seeking out those 'in-between' shots that result in the most stunning photos. It's when you start in a posed position but then relax into a more natural stance, laughing and letting your genuine smile shine through, that the real magic happens. My goal is to ensure you feel completely at ease, so feel free to veto any pose ideas or suggestions during the session. Whether you're a seasoned pro or feeling a bit camera shy, don't worry! I'll create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, helping you feel comfortable and ensuring we have a fantastic time together.
HOW MANY IMAGES DO YOU DELIVER?
When it comes to weddings, the final image count can vary widely, typically ranging from 400 to 800 images delivered. For portrait sessions, you can expect anywhere from 50 to 150 images. I always encourage prioritizing quality over quantity when selecting your photographer.
DO WE NEED TO PAY A DEPOSIT TO BOOK YOU?
Yes, indeed! To secure your date, I require a 50% deposit of the total cost. The remaining balance is due two weeks before your wedding day. Booking with me is a breeze – it's all handled online and meticulously documented for your peace of mind. You can trust that everything is taken care of smoothly and efficiently.
WHEN WOULD I NEED TO ADD A SECOND SHOOTER TO MY WEDDING DAY?
Your wedding day is truly unique, and the need for a second shooter depends entirely on your specific plans and preferences. If you're envisioning capturing family photos immediately after the ceremony but also want candid shots of guests enjoying happy hour, a second shooter could be beneficial. Similarly, if you have a large guest count or desire different angles of key moments like your first kiss or walking down the aisle, a second shooter might be a great option. Rest assured, I'm completely comfortable capturing your wedding day solo, but I want to ensure your vision is fully realized. Reach out to discuss your needs.

"Hands down, the BEST photographer you could ask for on your big day! Luke captured both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding day, and flew all the way to Santa Barbara from Seattle for us! ((:
He is such a warm and calming presence which I really appreciated as a nervous bride, and of course made us look BEAUTIFUL in every single shot. He also captured the candidness of our friends and family gathering for us, and all the emotion of the day, PERFECTLY.
Luke is also super responsive, does great prep communicating with you in advance to understand the kinds of shots you're looking for, and quick to get back photos of your big day - we got to enjoy flipping through our sneak peek literally on the plane ride on the way to our honeymoon, which was such a treat!"
Look no further for the most amazing photographer to capture your special day!
