FAQ

Q: CAROLINA ARE YOU COVERED BY INSURANCE? MY VENUE IS REQUIRING ALL VENDORS TO HAVE IT!

Yes, I am! I have full coverage Liability Insurance and I am more than happy to send them a copy and proof of it if they require it.

Q: CAROLINA WHAT IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?

I am so glad you asked!  I am a romantic at heart and I love those intimate moments that happen between a couple madly in love. I focus on preserving what matters most, the real moments, those little stories that unfold during your wedding day focused on you as a couple and your family.

My style is a combination of intimate, genuine, and timeless. I am drawn to black & white photos that erases time from the equation. I focus on the precious and candid moments that naturally between you and the people that matter the most to you. My job as a photographer is to be a good listener, get to know you and your family. That way I can photograph love stories and help couples preserving their most cherished moments with tangible fine art.

 Q: WE’RE HAVING A DESTINATION WEDDING. DO YOU TRAVEL?

YES of course! I am up for any adventure.  I love destination weddings and love to travel. Send me more information on your travel plans and I will create a custom wedding collection that suits your needs.

Q: WHAT MAKES YOUR WORK DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS’ WORK?

There is a lot of talent out there! 

I cherish weddings as a married woman myself I love to celebrate couple's marriages, I value the blessing and the gift of marriage, the commitment, the sacrifices, and love above all else.

I photograph from the heart, after losing my father I became a photographer, I learned that photographs will become precious memories years from now. Losing my father created and framed the way I view photography and the duty I have as a photographer, I have learned to realize that the photographs I take will only truly be appreciated years from now.

There are three things I value as a photographer:

1. Precious family moments.

Who is attending your wedding? how would you love to see them in your pictures? what memories do you want to remember of them? 

2. Genuine connection.

I can only photograph from the heart when I connect with people, photography is just a tool I use to connect with others, which means I will want to hear your story, where do your family come from, what matters to you, your fiance, make you feel comfortable and looking your best, creating together photographs that are the reflection of who you are, in your element with your favorite people.

We live in a world now where we do not consume stories anymore. I have been intentional about being different in that way, photography has thought me to slow down, learn to listen, and become more compassionate, that way I can preserve stories filled with precious memories.

3. Preservation.

At the end of the day, when your beautiful wedding day is done, the food and yummy cake has been eaten, you are left as newlyweds with your wedding photos. I want to help you creating something precious, something you will treasure for the rest of your life. I want to help you preserve your wedding in the best way possible with a beautiful fine art book because one day, it will be the most precious and beautiful gift you can leave to your children.

Q: DO YOU OFFER WEDDING ALBUMS?

I do! One of the things I value the most is preservation. I inherited my parent’s wedding album, and after losing my Father, it became the most precious tangible memory I have and one day it will be given to my children.

Having the opportunity to create tangible products for my couples is very special to me, I am proud to introduce and offer this service to all of my clients. To me is very special because I get to create and design fine art books that will become a heirloom dear to their hearts like it was for me!

They are handmade in Italy, with the best quality of materials, they will be treasured forever.

Q: WILL WE GET THE PRINT RELEASE TO OUR PHOTOS AFTER OUR WEDDING?

Yes! Upon receiving your images, you, the bride, and the groom will also get a full print release. Guest and extended family will have the ability to purchase prints from the online gallery with special offers and great discounts.

Q: HOW MANY PHOTOGRAPHERS WILL BE THERE AT OUR WEDDING?

Depending on the collection of your choice. If it is not included you can always add on a second photographer for an additional cost.

Q: DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH ELOPEMENTS?

Of course! Depending on availability and the number of hours you have set aside for photography, we have special rates for weekday weddings and elopements.

Q: DO YOU HAVE A LIST OF PREFERRED VENDORS TO USE?

I sure do! From wedding coordinators to florists and caterers, I have worked with some of the best companies in the industry and would be happy to share their information with you!

Q: CAN I ORDER PRINTS THROUGH YOU?

I highly recommend ordering prints through my studio, but it is not required. The difference in quality is huge when it comes to ordering through a professional lab, so we encourage clients to let me help with prints and wall-framed heirlooms. They are your legacy, they are a piece of art, a very good reason for professional printing. Highest quality prints for generations.

Q: DO YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE PHOTOGRAPHING IN VARIOUS LIGHTING SITUATIONS?

Absolutely! This is an excellent question, I have experience in different situations, I am always ready to use flash when needed it. I will always prefer to work with beautiful natural light when is available but most receptions will need artificial flash lighting. I have my flashes ready and back up of all of them.

Q: WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?

I use all of the latest Canon equipment. I always carry the 5D Mark IV, the Canon Mark III as a backup, 50 mm lens, 24-70 mm lens, 100mm lens & the 70-200mm lens, among other items. All of our cameras and lenses have a backup in the rare event that anything should happen to one of our pieces.

Q: HOW EARLY SHOULD I BOOK MY DATE?

As soon as possible. I usually book out a year or more in advance.

Q: HOW DO WE RESERVE OUR WEDDING DATE?

A 50% deposit and signed contract are required in order to get your wedding day on the calendar. Payment plans are available. for the second payment and final payment.
