"Nicole was the BEST! We worked with her for both our engagement shoot & our intimate elopement ceremony. She captured both days perfectly to the point where we literally gasped out loud when we received both albums. I cannot recommend her enough!!"

Absolutely! I am always keeping an eye out for weather updates and will keep you updated if there is expected rain on your session date. Some months, like January and February, have a higher chance of rain in the Bay Area, so I always recommend clients who are booking those dates to have a 2nd and 3rd option on hand that we'll mutually block off. Don't worry, we'll make it happen.

+ if it rains, can we reschedule?

The turnaround time is around 2~4 weeks for engagement and portrait sessions and 6~8 weeks for most weddings, depending on the season. And of course, I send my clients their photos as soon as I finish them!

+ What is the turnaround time?

For an 8-hour wedding, you may expect 320+ photos, however your final gallery count will depend on your package, number of hourly coverage, and how many magical photos we get. I don't have a max number of photos, so you can be sure that every great photo will be included and in general, you can expect ~45 images per hour of photography coverage.

+ how many photos will we receive for our wedding?

Yes I do! I currently am based in the San Francisco Bay Area and am available for hire in all of California and destinations. If you are having your wedding outside of San Francisco, reach out and I'll provide you with my out-of-state and out-of-country package offerings.
