FAQ
Please shoot us an email if you have a question that hasn't been answered here!
Are our photos captured in film or digital format?
Your images will be captured in RAW format. This means each image will be rich, vibrant and full of color. The RAW file is a new digital technology that allows the most information to be stored in an image from the camera.
Are our photographs edited?
Your images will have a personalized, artistic look and feel. We subtly enhance the images by hand, utilizing the latest in digital technology to give each image that signature look.
Do you travel?
Yes! We love to travel in and around Virginia, the U.S. And the world! If you are interested in destination weddings or other on-location sites, please contact us for travel rates. Short notice sessions/weddings are possible pending availability.

I want to book you, now what?
That's terrific! We will send you a contract to complete, sign and return with a non-refundable deposit to secure your date.
04
When and how do I make payments?
A non-refundable retainer of 50% is required to book. The remaining will be collected prior to the session. A smaller payment schedule may be arranged. We also offer a Gift Registry for all services.

How far in advance should we book?
For weekday elopements, events or portrait sessions, we are very flexible and often available last minute. Weekends usually fill quickly for weddings several months to a year before hand. If there's availability, secure your date as soon as possible.
How will you get to know my/our style preference?
Upon booking, we'll have you send us a short questionnaire. Following that, Cassie will arrange a phone, Skype, or coffee shop consultation. This is a great time to share any “inspiration” images you have! Your photos are guaranteed to be unique and original through our collaboration in the creative process.
Do you have a studio?
Nope, we work comfortably from a home office when not shooting on-location. Lower overhead costs are reflected in our affordable packages and high-quality equipment! Plus, we have a portable backdrop system and studio lighting that we can bring to you! Shooting on-location typically gives a greater level of interest and character to photos.
What should I/we wear to the session?
We will discuss a wardrobe specific to your shoot during our consultation, as well as send you an outfit guide. However, we can tell you that the clothing should truly represent you individual style. Bring something dark, something light, and colorful, avoiding clothes with patterns and logos. Don't forget about accessories and props!
Can I post my photos online?
You will be provided with a dowloadable album for web ready images to post wherever you'd like. These photos will be optimized for the web (there's nothing more embarrassing for a photographer than Facebook's down-sampling algorithm remove color, sharpness, and overall quality) and also give proper and legal credit due to the photographer.
