Frequently Asked Questions

East Tennessee Wedding Photography

Planning a wedding comes with plenty of questions.
Here are answers to the ones couples ask most often.

If you don’t see yours, feel free to reach out.

💍 How far in advance should we book?
Most couples book 9–12 months ahead, especially for spring and fall. If your date is sooner, reach out — last-minute availability does happen.

📍 Do you travel?
Yes. I serve Knoxville, Chattanooga, Tellico Plains, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Smoky Mountains, with travel included throughout East Tennessee. Destination weddings are also available.

📸 What is your photography style?
Timeless, natural, and cinematic — focused on real emotion, clean color, and honest storytelling, never stiff or overly posed.

💛 We’re awkward in front of the camera. Is that okay?
Absolutely. Most couples feel this way. I provide gentle guidance so you feel comfortable and natural the entire time.

🕰️ When will we receive our photos?
Sneak previews arrive within 72 hours. Your full gallery is delivered within 3–4 weeks.

💾 How many photos will we receive?
Every wedding is different, but most couples receive several hundred carefully edited images that tell the full story of the day.

🗓️ Do you help with the timeline?
Yes. I offer guidance to help your day flow smoothly while keeping things relaxed and unhurried.

💑 Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes. Engagement sessions are available and are a great way to feel comfortable before the wedding day.

✨ Can we customize a collection?
Yes. Collections can be adjusted based on coverage needs, location, and vision.

💍 Do you photograph elopements?
Yes. Elopements and intimate weddings are available and priced separately.

🔧 Do you bring backup equipment?
Yes. Professional backup gear is always on hand so your day is fully covered.

🛡️ What if something unexpected happens?
I stay calm and flexible so you don’t have to worry. My focus is keeping your experience smooth and stress-free.

📅 What’s required to book?
A $300 nonrefundable retainer and signed agreement reserve your date. The remaining balance is due two weeks before the wedding.

Photography is my calling. I approach every wedding with gratitude, calm presence, and genuine care for your day.
