What is an adventure session?

An adventure session is adding a location to your session that usually takes more time to get to. Some spots require a hike, some require a jeep ride. I charge more because of the planning involved and the extra time to get to the locations. They are so epic & totally worth it!

How long have you been shooting weddings? What got you started?

I began working as a wedding assistant and elopement photographer in 2014. The position helped me realize my love for weddings and understand how weddings are planned and coordinated from behind the scenes. For the next two years, I began shooting elopements on my own and with other photographers while I obtained my photography degree from NAU.
In 2018, I started White Desert Photography and let success come my way! In my time behind the lens, I've shot countless weddings and elopements during my career, and I would be honored to document the best day of your life!

Can we have the RAW photos? What about previews?

No, RAW images are considered to be unfinished products as are phone pictures. I only deliver fully edited high quality JPEG images that represent the best photos taken from the day in my developed style. If you have booked your wedding with me, previews are included within 1 month of your wedding date. Phone pictures are very different from DSLR pictures, therefore, don't expect the same look from them, as they are not my final product, though I'm happy to take some during our session!

How do we reserve our date? WHat are our payment options?

Once I receive your inquiry I'll make sure I'm available. Then we'll chat more about what you're looking for!
When we're all set, I'll send you a proposal for the day. This proposal includes a custom payment plan & contract. Payment is done through the online proposal you receive. There is a 25% non-refundable deposit to hold your date. You also have the option to pay 50% up front & 50% due 2 weeks before the event. 
You can make monthly payments towards your package. Just let me know what will work best for you! This payment option is also available for other sessions. 

Where are you based? Do you travel?

I am based in Flagstaff, Arizona but can travel all over the state, and even out of state! Ask me about Flagstaff pricing!
Sedona is my most popular location. I lived there for four years before moving to Flagstaff. I am local to the area, which gives you the benefit of having the inside scoop on Sedona & Flagstaff locations. I am always looking to explore new options with my couples.

Are there any additional fees? Do you Travel out of state?

Additional fees include Sales Tax [ 9.18%] &  if your location is more than 50 miles from Flagstaff, additional travel fees apply at 55 cents a mile. 
Yes, I do travel out of state for weddings! I have shot in Mexico, Hawaii, Utah & Oregon, we can discuss pricing based on location as some areas are on my bucket list & I have special pricing for those spots!

What if we're really awkward in photos?

Everyone feels awkward about photos! It's true!!
I work with all kinds of couples, comfortable or uncomfortable in front of the camera. I work to ensure you're comfortable and look natural in the photos.
I will use prompts and we'll have some fun! By the end of the session - you'll be experts and look totally natural in your photos! :)

can the packages be customized?

Yes!
Let's say you have a wedding day where you don't need a second photographer or may be don't want prints. These items can be removed if you need to fit your budget!
Some couples don't need the engagement session, but will exchange that additional hour to use on their wedding day.
