Yep! Sure do! I’ll travel outside AZ with any full day wedding shoot! There are no additional “fees” for me to travel outside AZ, but you will have to pay for my plane ticket and lodgings and we’re good to go! Really motivated to travel to western towns and outdoorsy towns; WY, UT, MO, ect.

I love weddings, I love, love. I love celebrating with you, and for you. And of course I love taking photos; in that order. Click here to watch a video about my love why I love becoming friends after a wedding.
All weddings come with fully edited/retouched photos for color, lighting, contrast, skin softening, teeth whitening, and an overall beautiful look. Additionally, all edited photos are delivered 2 weeks, which is far below the industry standard of 4-12 weeks.

I’m old school; if we look each other in the eye and shake hands; that’s good enough for me. I don’t accept every single wedding that I get offered, and I don’t do high pressure sales tactics, or do anything that locks you in. I’m honest, simple, and straight forward, so I hope we have enough mutual respect to keep our agreements! -

However, the reason is because I offer fast finished photo delivery for all weddings; photos are delivered 2 weeks after your wedding. This is far faster than industry standard for wedding photographers; most photographers deliver wedding photos 4-12 weeks, or longer after the wedding.I do not cut corners, or slack off in order to meet the 2 week photo delivery deadline. Instead, the way I accomplish the 2 week photo delivery deadline, is by focusing solely on your wedding photos during my editing time for the two weeks following your wedding.
After I book any wedding, I block off vast amounts of time for two weeks after the wedding to allow for my days to be oriented around editing. Most photographers/videographers continue to shoot/film other weddings, and edit other weddings immediately after a wedding. This compounded with the sheer insane amount of time it takes to edit wedding photos is the cause of the 4-12 week industry standard.
I do not book any weddings within 3 weeks of each other, and I manage my time for the two weeks following your wedding to exclusively focus on getting your photos done. In other words, I don’t juggle other clients around with you and your wedding. Once you book with me, the day of your wedding, and the two weeks after that are all I focus on.

Wedding photos and shot lists are tailored specifically to your unique and special wedding! In sum, the answer is: It depends on what is most important to you! I will prioritize shots based on the amount of hours you booked with me, with the things that are most important to you!
In order for me to photograph all the major aspects of your wedding, I will need a full 12 hours. This is NOT a sales ploy, it’s purely a logistical issue. I’m just one person, so if two different parts of your wedding are happening at your wedding at the same time, depending on how many hours you booked, the size of your bridal party, the size of the venue; it’s very possible I might not be able to capture both.
No matter how many hours you book with me, typically the ceremony and a short bride/groom session are covered (This is also typically the only parts covered when you book 2 hour wedding coverage). Then anything before or after the ceremony/posed session is prioritized by what is important to you and how many hours you booked me for! Typically, options might include, but are not limited to:
Bride & Bridesmaids getting ready.
First Looks
Groom & Groomsman getting married
Photos of overall wedding decorations, or the venue itself.
Flatlays (Sentimental items, Wedding Invitation, rings, Bride’s dress, Bride’s jewelry, Groom’s Shoes, ect)
Grand Entrances
Cake Cutting
Bouquet Toss
Garter Tradition
Family/Friend Group Photos
Bride/Groom First dance
Bride & Father Special Dance
Groom & Mother Special Dance
Candid Reception/Party Photos
Ultimately, we just have to talk about it together and figure out what is most important to you, and what is logistically realistic for me to capture given the amount of hours you book me for!
Book a phone call appointment with me, and we will chat about it!

I call this “other photographer bull$#!@.” If you hire me to photograph and edit your wedding photos; the photos are yours completely. You can do whatever you want with them. No agreement/contract for photo usage necessary; you paid me to photograph and edit! Of course I would love photo credits (just dropping my contact or IG when your post) but you do not have to do that at all! The photos are yours! Do what you will with them! 🤠

Some photographers will send couples 1000 photos from their wedding, and allow the couple to pick 100, or 150 of the 1000 photos for editing. Alternatively, other photographers might just select 100 photos, and make a blanket rule that they only provide 100 photos.
I do not have a photo limit. I’ll let you in on a photographer’s secret; no matter who the photographer is, not every photo taken on a camera is a good photo or is worth editing.
My rule is, if the photo is good, it gets edited! What does “good” mean? Some general rules of thumb that make a photo good; it’s visually striking or interesting, it captures a notable or meaningful moment, it captures notable emotion, or something about the photo makes it more noticeable than other photos. I do not place a limit on edited/delivered photos. Depending on how many hours you book with me, you can expect 100-200 edited photos for a few hours, and for a full 12 hours, you can expect 300-600 edited images.
