Questions

Frequently asked.

The things couples usually ask before booking. If yours isn't here, just ask on the call, or send it over.

Banff and Canmore

Do you handle permits for shooting in Banff or Canmore?

Yes. Banff National Park requires a commercial photography permit for most wedding and portrait locations, and I hold mine and handle the paperwork before your day. Canmore sits outside the park, so it's a different process through the municipality rather than Parks Canada, and I handle that too. Either way, you don't need to arrange anything.

Weather and winter shoots

What happens if it rains, or the weather turns?

We shoot through it. Some of my favourite images have come out of the heaviest downpours. I don't cancel or reschedule around weather as a rule.

What about a winter wedding?

There's less light in the winter, so timelines shift earlier in the day, but that's the only real change. The one hard line is temperature: I don't shoot outdoors once it drops colder than −30°C. Anything warmer than that, and we make winter magic.

Travel and destination weddings

Do you travel for weddings outside Alberta?

Yes. Banff, Canmore and Calgary are included in every collection with no separate travel fee. For international destinations, travel is a flat $2,500 on top of your collection. Tell me your destination when you reach out and I'll include it in your quote from the start.

Delivery

When do we get our photos?

Your full gallery arrives within 30 days of your wedding. Not next season, not after the busy months, within 30 days.

Deposits and payment

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Yes, a 50% deposit secures your date. The remaining balance follows a payment schedule we go over when you book. I accept e-Transfer and Stripe.

The process

What happens after I reach out?

We'll set up a short call to go through your date, what you're picturing, and whether I'm the right fit. If I'm not, I'll point you toward someone who is.

If it's a match, I'll walk you through next steps and the deposit. From there we stay in touch as your day approaches, I'm photographing, and your gallery lands within 30 days.
