+ Do you travel for weddings?
Yes & no! At this time I am only serving clients in California.
+ Where are you based?
I am based in Southern California about half an hour north of Los Angeles.
+ How do we book you?
First, please fill out my contact form (if you haven't already.) Once I receive your inquiry, I'll get back to you within 48 hours! I will send you a giant wedding guide with all of the info you could dream of, and we can hop on a phone call or Facetime to make sure we hit it off! If you decide to book, I send you a thorough contract & require a 30% deposit to reserve the date.
+ How much will our deposit be?
I require a 30% deposit to reserve your wedding date. This amount will depend on your package & add-on total.
+ How many images can we expect?
You can expect around 115 images per hour of wedding photography. Ultimately my galleries end up around 700-1,000 images.
+ How do we receive our photos?
You will receive your edited wedding photographs in an online gallery. You can download them all in high resolution on one or multiple computers.
+ When do we receive our photos?
My return time for wedding galleries is 6 weeks (max). I will send a BIG handful of previews to you while I am editing (within 1 week of your event).
+ Will you Photoshop X in our images?
I do not make any major changes during the editing process except for lighting, color, and minor blemish fixes. I want your photos to look like YOU, so I do not Photoshop or alter them in any way.
+ Can we print our pictures?
Yes, you will have high-resolution photo files to use/print at your leisure! I recommend purchasing prints from my site to ensure the color + quality are as intended, but since you will have the photo files you can technically print them wherever you'd like. :)
+ What if we need to reschedule?
2020 taught me to expect the unexpected. If you need to reschedule your wedding for any reason, I am happy to work with you and be as flexible as possible. Reschedules do incur a fee, as once I reserve your initial date, I am turning away other inquiries.
+ Do you help in the planning process?
Yes! Please let me know how I can help make the wedding planning process easier for you. I can recommend vendors, discuss and outline timelines, and advise you wherever my expertise can come in handy!
+ If we book with you, is it you (Sara) who serves as our photographer?
Yes, it will be me! I do not have associates. When you book me, I am always the person who will show up & photograph your wedding day.
+ Do you do video too?
I do not! I do, however, have amazingly talented videographer friends that I would be more than happy to refer you to!
+ Do you offer discounts?
No, my prices are firm.
+ Can we have the RAW unedited images?
No, I only deliver/offer edited images.
+ How long will our session be?
I offer 30, 60, and 90 minute session packages. The choice is yours!
+ Where can we have our session?
Anywhere! I am happy to send a location guide if you want your session to take place locally near Thousand Oaks, as I have a handful of spots I frequent. However, if you have a special place in mind, I am happy to travel and try somewhere new.
+ How much will our deposit be?
I require a 50% session deposit with the final amount due before your session date. Your deposit amount will depend on which package you choose.
+ What do we wear?
I am happy to help with the outfit planning process! I have a what-to-wear guide + color palettes galore.
+ How many images can we expect?
The number of images you receive depends on the package you choose. 30 minute sessions typically yield 45-75 edited images, so you can multiply that for the others.
+ How do we receive our photos?
You will receive your edited photographs in an online gallery. You can download them all high-resolution on one or multiple computers.
+ When do we receive our photos?
My return time for session galleries is two weeks.
+ What if it rains?
I am happy to reschedule to a sunny day.
+ Will you photoshop X in our images?
I do not make any major changes during the editing process except for lighting, color, and minor blemish fixes. I want your photos to look like YOU, so I do not Photoshop or alter them in any way.
