faq
How do you do both photo and video?
I offer both photo and video, or one or the other, depending on what you need. When you book both, you’re getting high-end photography and cinematic video from one creative direction (hi, it’s me). I’ve built a seamless system with my dream team, so nothing gets missed. You get it all without juggling two separate vendors or clashing styles. One vibe, fully cohesive, zero chaos.
What if we're awkward?
Been there, handled that—like, a hundred times. I specialize in capturing couples as they actually are, not forcing awkward poses. I keep it relaxed, fun, and unobtrusive so you and your partner can just...be yourselves. Spoiler: you'll end up saying, “Wait, that was actually really fun.” then, "OMG we look hot!"
Do we get all the raw files?
If owning your RAW photos or video footage is important to you, I do offer RAW file delivery as an optional add-on. Because RAW files are unedited working files that require specialized software to view and don't reflect the final Gold + Sage experience, they're delivered under a separate licensing agreement and additional fee. Most couples find that their fully edited gallery and films include everything they could ever want, but I'm happy to offer RAW files for those who prefer to have them.
What is your turn around time?
Sneak peeks of your photos land in your inbox within a 3-4 days (because I know you’re dying to post something!). The full gallery and film are typically delivered in 8–12 weeks. I never rush the editing process, but I also won’t leave you hanging. Quality over chaos, always.
