Inquiries
A short note is the right place to start.
We read every inquiry that comes in. If your date is open and the wedding sounds like a good fit, we will write back inside two business days with availability and a slot for a thirty-minute video call.
What helps the reply
The four things that let us write a real answer instead of a holding email.
You do not need a finished plan to inquire. Even a few of the details below let us check the calendar and write back something useful instead of asking for a second round of information first.
The date
Even a month is enough to start
If the date is set, tell us. If it is a window, tell us the window. We hold dates with a signed contract and a fifteen-hundred-dollar retainer; we cannot soft-hold ahead of that.
The venue
Or “still deciding” if you are
The venue tells us almost everything about light, pace, and the rough shape of the day. We have shot many of the regional venues before, which usually helps the call go faster.
Approximate guest count
A rough number is fine
Twenty, sixty, one-hundred-and-fifty — the bucket is what we need, not a precise headcount. It tells us how close we will be moving and how the family groups are likely to run.
How to reach us
Email is best. We answer it ourselves.
The studio is two people. The note you send is read by one of us, usually the lead. We do not use a triage inbox or an answering service, which is why a short reply usually comes back inside two business days and often the same afternoon.

A small note before you write
How you found us is the line we read first.
We like knowing whether it was a friend’s wedding, a search that landed here, or our work appearing in someone else’s gallery. It is not a screening question. It is the way the year has actually unfolded, and we are nosy about it.
