The four things people ask first.
What does it cost?
Weddings — Silver $3,250 (5 hours), Gold $4,000 (7 hours plus an engagement session), Platinum $5,250 (full day, engagement session and an adventure session). Elopements from $1,750. Engagement, proposal and bridal portrait sessions $650. Every collection includes professional editing and an online gallery. Corporate — event coverage $750 (two-hour minimum), $1,400 half day, $2,600 full day. On-site headshots from $1,250 for a half day.
How far will you travel?
For weddings, anywhere from San Francisco down through Santa Cruz, Capitola, Aptos, Carmel, Monterey and Big Sur. For corporate work, across Santa Cruz County, the Monterey Peninsula and Silicon Valley. Somewhere further? Ask — the answer is often yes.
How do I hold my date?
For weddings and private sessions, a signed agreement and a 50% retainer hold the date; the remaining balance is due the week of. For companies and institutions there's no deposit — a signed agreement or a purchase order holds the date, and you're invoiced on delivery, net 30.
My date is soon. Is that a problem?
Not necessarily — send it anyway. Calendars open up, and short-notice elopements and sessions happen all the time. The fastest way to find out is to put the date in the form above, or call or text me directly.
After you hit send — you'll never wonder where things stand.
Right away — a confirmation lands in your inbox. So you know it arrived and didn't vanish into a form somewhere. If you don't see it, check spam once — then you're set.
Within 24 hours — a real reply from me. Whether your date is open, what I'd suggest for what you're planning, and honest pricing — written by me, not pasted from a template.
When you're ready — a call, then your date is held. We talk it through with no pressure. If it feels right, a signed agreement and a 50% retainer hold the date — the balance isn't due until the week of.
