Wedding photography questions, answered.

Weddings and elopements of all kinds are welcome here. I’m a queer photographer, and I care about making this a comfortable, affirming experience across identities, cultures, bodies, and abilities. Tell me about anything that would help you feel supported.

Send an inquiry with your date, location, and a little about your plans. We’ll check availability and talk through coverage. Your date is reserved once the agreement is signed and the retainer in your proposal is paid. An inquiry on its own doesn’t hold the date.

Absolutely. We can have a video call, or meet in person when it works for everyone. Bring your questions, even if you’re still figuring out the wedding part!

Yes, throughout California and beyond. Tell me where you’re headed, and I’ll confirm any travel costs before you book. They depend on the distance and what the trip involves.

You don’t need to practice posing. I’ll give you something simple to do, help with where to stand, and leave room for you to settle in together. We’ll make portraits, but you won’t spend the whole wedding performing for my camera.

Quite a lot happens after the cameras are packed away. I personally go through your photographs, choosing the expressions, interactions, and little details that tell the story of your day. Then I work through the color, light, and finishing touches. Depending on the photograph, that might mean individual masking adjustments, subtle retouching, or a light leak that adds a little extra atmosphere.

Some photos come together quickly. Others take a few more passes before I’m happy with them. I also look at how the whole gallery flows, keeping the edits cohesive while leaving room for the different moods throughout your day. It’s a hands-on process, and your delivery window includes time for that work, from the first selection to the final polish.

I know...believe me, I know. AI can be a touchy subject, especially in a creative field. I use it selectively for background removal and small retouching adjustments, like cleaning up a distracting phone or bystander in an otherwise beautiful moment. Sometimes a photo has too much heart to let a little background clutter get in the way.

I might start with Lightroom presets I’ve spent more than ten years developing and refining. I might edit an entire gallery from scratch when the light or setting inspires something a little different. It all depends on the vibe, along with any preferences you’ve shared with me, of course! I review and finish the photographs personally, including any AI-assisted retouching.

As someone running a small creative business with dynamic disabilities, these tools can help me put more energy into the work I care about. I’ve been using technology to make art for as long as I can remember. AI is sometimes part of that process, but my eye, experience, and care guide every gallery, right down to the final edit.

For new bookings with me, Simple arrives within 4–6 weeks, and Centra, Classic, and Story arrive within 8–12 weeks of your wedding. Classic and Story include a sneak peek within 2 weeks. I’ll email your finished gallery so you can download and share it. If you’ve already booked, the delivery window in your agreement still applies. Makayla’s delivery details are listed with her own collections.

Around 50 edited photographs per hour of coverage is a useful planning estimate. The final count depends on the day, so the collection estimates aren’t a fixed quota. You’ll receive the photographs I select and finish for your gallery.

Yes. Your gallery includes a shop for professional prints and wall art, with album options too. You can also download your finished photographs and share them with family and friends.

Yes, please download your full-resolution gallery and keep another copy somewhere safe. I keep backups too, but your own copies matter. Check your delivery email for gallery-access details rather than relying on the online link as your only archive.

Yes. Fai (they/them) offers iPhone videography as an optional paid add-on to a wedding photography collection with Jey, subject to availability. We’ll plan their filming time around your photography timeline and the video package you choose.

If Fai becomes unavailable for a video add-on you’ve booked, we’ll let you know as soon as possible and talk through the options with you. We’ll keep you involved in the plan.

Ask us about them in your inquiry. We’re developing this optional extra with Fai for weddings photographed by Jey, and we’ll confirm availability, pricing, and what’s included before you book it.
