our "WHY" BEHIND OFFERING ALBUMS
museum-grade printing & binding
Your album package will include 36 pages, but you are always welcome to add on more, totaling to a possibility of a 100 page album. A full spread (i.e. 2 side-by-side pages) features a seamless lay-flat design with the a nearly invisible crease in the center. We print using the highest industry quality available using a Semi-Matte finish; a smoother, almost-matte photographic paper, with very little sheen. Our binding method uses a unique ~1.2mm thick board which prevents the pages from bending or creasing. Your album will feel like it belongs next to the Mona Lisa in the Louvre Museum. This is a true archival quality piece using your images.​

rEPLICA ALBUMS
A THOUGHTFUL WAY TO SAY "THANK YOU"
One of the best gifts you can give to a loved one after your wedding day is a bound book of your memories. We offer an easy way to gift something high-quality to the people you love the most. These Mini Replica Albums are a 6" by 6" duplicate of your own Heirloom Album. It is printed using the same photos, design, and cover material that you chose, which makes it even more special. We love offering this option so much because it helps our suppliers practice their craft in a more "waste-free" way, as they use the materials leftover from handcrafting your album.
*Please note that cover debossing or foiling is not available on Minis as the cover is too small of a surface area.

Taxes, Fees & Shipping
-
Can you hold my date for me?Until a contract has been signed by the couple and the retainer has been paid, your date is not yet reserved with me. Due to high volume of inquiries, I do not hold dates without those two things.
-
Are you insured?Yes, I most definitely am insured and provide proof to the venue by preparing a Certificate of Insurance named to each venue for your specific date.
-
Can you Photoshop us?I do not offer photoshopping in my photography services because we are who we are and I believe in self-love! I want to show you how naturally beautiful you both are without any photoshopping. However, I will 100% remove those pesky pimples!
-
Do you deliver every photo you capture?Part of my job is to go through the thousands of images we take throughout the day and pull out the best ones that you will love. So, my answer is "no". However, I would never trash a good image in order to stay within a limited amount of deliverable images. In fact, I often deliver more than are even promised because it's so hard to choose my favorites!
-
How do wedding payments work?I break wedding payments up into 3-4 equally divided payments. The first payment is your non-refundable retainer to reserve the date. All payments are due one week prior to the wedding day. I can accept bank transfers, checks and venmo transactions.
-
How do session payments work?I break session payments up into 2-3 equally divided payments. The first payment is your non-refundable retainer to reserve the date. All payments are due one week prior to the session date. I can accept bank transfers, checks and venmo transactions.
-
How many edited images will we receive?I like to approximate you will receive anywhere from 50-150 edited images per hour you book. On average, if you book an 8 hour wedding day, you will receive at least 800+ edited images. Similarly, a 2 hour session would average to 200+ edited images. I always throw a few B&W images in there too!
-
How do I prepare for a session with you?I will send over a What To Wear Guide filled with a gold mine of information including outfit coordinating, complimenting with the colors of the environment, what to pack, activity and location selecting, makeup/hair and more. This will be sent over once you book a session. I also recommend checking out The Photo Journal where you can find even more Tips & Advice. I gotchu!
-
What is always included in every wedding package?Every wedding package includes a location scout prior to the wedding day, travel time up to 1.5 hours each way by car, online gallery, print release rights, unlimited digital downloads, the exclusive Wedded Logo and an Heirloom Keepsake Box.
-
What do you charge in travel fees for destination locations?Destination Weddings and Elopements receive 20% off their selected package and are required to cover the following travel expenses: (a) Airfare costs, (b) Car Rental costs and (c) 2-3 Night Stay depending on the location and package selected.
-
What is a wedding weekend?The best thing since sliced bread! This includes pre- or -post wedding day coverage. Many couples these days like to have activities with their guests while everyone is in town! For example, Kevin and I are getting married at a camp and will be having pre-wedding activities like canoeing, volleyball and a bonfire the day/night before with our closest friends and family.
HOW to
order my album
"Why are albums from photographers more expensive?"
Our albums cost more due to their generational, heirloom quality. They feature thick, lay-flat pages, durable binding methods and premium cover materials all assembled lovingly by hand in Kentucky. We spend lots of time custom designing your photo page layouts in the way that best tells the unique story of your celebration and love story, and then refine it with you during two revision rounds, to ensure it’s exactly what you’ve envisioned, all while using the highest resolution version of your photos. The pages are water-resistant and will never warp or yellow with time and are color-corrected accurately, unlike third-party online print shops. All of these factors play into the cost of our Heirloom Album -- I only ever aim to bring you the best sourced products out there.
"Why shouldn't I buy a book or album from Shutterfly for
half the price?"
The most upfront difference you’ll find between our albums and companies like Shutterfly, is the design experience. We artfully, custom design each page for you and provide two detailed revision rounds to make your design perfect without you ever having to lift a finger. Even if a third-party printer offers a design tool, it will pale in comparison; lacking customization options, a storytelling mindset, and simple passion. We put so much time, energy and love into photographing and editing your photos, so wouldn’t you want that same energy put into creating your album? At the end of the day, the Shutterfly robot won't do that for you. Also, unlike third-party printers, we color-correct your photos, use the highest resolution version of your photos, and are printing with premium materials that last for generations. Companies like Shutterfly can’t compete with the quality of these products. These albums are hand-made by real people here in the US and our printers create ethically-made products, while ensuring fair labor practices for its employees. No robots or sweatshops here!
