Tell us about your day.
Start with a few details. It doesn't commit you to anything, and we answer every message ourselves, usually within two business days.
Writing about an engagement, a senior, a newborn or a family session? What those look like, and what they cost.
Tell us about the senior
Tell us your name, your email and the senior's class year, and we'll write back to you.
Questions
Frequently asked.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes. We photographed weddings in Washington State for ten years before we moved to South Dakota, and we still travel for weddings. Travel is billed at cost, with no markup.
How many weddings do you take on each year?
Seventeen in 2026. It changes from year to year, and we photograph every one ourselves.
What is your turnaround time?
You'll usually see a sneak peek within a week, and the full gallery within eight weeks, usually in six to eight. If you order an album, it takes another six to eight weeks.
What happens if weather turns?
We don't cancel for weather. We scout backup spots ahead of time and bring covers for our gear, and some of our favorite photos have come from bad weather.
Do you have a second photographer?
Yes. The Complete collection includes a second photographer and the Signature collection includes an assistant, and that's usually Jason. You can also add a second photographer to any collection by the hour.
How do we reserve our date?
You reserve your date by signing the contract and paying a 25% retainer, which counts as your first payment. The rest comes in up to three payments, spread evenly across the time you have, with the last one due a month before the wedding. If your wedding is less than two months away, it's all due when you book.
