Questions
Do you offer international wedding coverage?
Yes, I photograph weddings worldwide with travel included in most packages. I arrive 1-3 days prior to the event for location scouting and preparation.

I use a combination of digital cameras and 35mm/medium format film cameras to achieve a timeless editorial look with optimal lighting flexibility.
How many weddings do you photograph annually?
I limit my schedule to 10 weddings per year to maintain creative focus and provide personalized attention to each couple.
Can we order physical prints from our gallery?
Yes, prints can be ordered directly through your online gallery or by contacting me for custom print options.
How are album designs created?
I custom-design album layouts to narrate your wedding story. Clients receive a first draft 8 weeks after delivery, with revision opportunities before final production.
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
I adapt creatively to weather conditions, finding sheltered locations and using umbrellas or indoor venues to maintain photographic quality without compromising safety.
