WELCOME I am so excited that you are interested in choosing Darling Photographers photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who makes you feel comfortable, someone who eases the craziness of a wedding day, and maybe, someone who eventually becomes a friend. I am a fine art wedding photographer based in the DMV area. I love natural light and am also a lighting expert. I use my knowledge on different lighting techniques to truly capture the beauty of a moment. I strive to create beautiful images that are classic, natural and tell the story of each day. When I am not photographing weddings, I love to teach, train new photographers, cooking, reading and spending time with family and friends. I am so thankful for the career that I have and love each and every couple I have the opportunity to work with! Darling

After photographing more than eight hundred weddings over the past 14 years, I’ve found that I’m not the perfect fit for every couple. That’s why this process begins with a conversation. I want to hear everything— how you met, funny first date stories, and how y’all got engaged. We’ll get to know one another, talk about the details of your day, answer any questions you might have about working with me and figure out if we’re the best fit for each other. If we are a great fit, the next step is to reserve your date with a signed contract and a 50% deposit/retainer. From there, we’ll begin planning your engagement session [optional ]. There might be a few months in between your session and your wedding, but I’m always around to answer questions you may have throughout the planning process (I know it’s a lot to think about!). About two months before the big day, we’ll check in again with a pre-wedding questionnaire to help us finalize the timeline, create the family formal shot list and to make sure we’re fully prepared to photograph your wedding. After the wedding, I’ll edit the images and upload them in an online gallery. You can expect to receive your images between 5 and 8 weeks after your wedding [ sometimes sooner ].

Unless you’re a model, being photographed probably feels a little awkward. I do this for a living and I still always feel a little out of place when I have my photos taken. I’m a big fan of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how we pose. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits which is why I’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time. Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is signficant to the two of you (and even include pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, we’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding. All of our collections include a complimentary session.

We love your work and we’re ready to book! What’s the next step? Fantastic! To reserve your wedding date, we’ll need a completed contract and a 50% non-refundable deposit/retainer. If you don’t have a contract yet, just let us know and we’ll send one over! The remaining balance will be due 30 days before the wedding. Do you shoot film or digital? I am a fine art digital photographer. I love a classic look, warm colors and the ability to make even the most simple moments feel beautiful and timeless. All images are delivered digitally as jpegs in an online gallery. How many photos do your online gallery typically include and can we print the photos ourselves? Galleries typically include anywhere between 500 and 1000 photos. The exact amount varies from wedding to wedding. Your online gallery will come loaded with edited high resolution images you can print anywhere. You’re also welcome to share your wedding photos on Facebook as long as you credit us and link to our website. When do you charge travel fees? I typically add travel fees on to any wedding outside of a 50 mile radius from our home in Fairfax, Virginia. Fees vary depending on location so ask us for more details.
