FAQ: How Far in Advance Should We Book You?

For weddings, I recommend booking at least 12-18 months in advance to secure your date, especially if your date is during peak wedding season. For sessions (such as engagements or families) ASAP is best, as my availability can fill up quickly - even if it's a year out, please reach out asap. The earlier, the better!

Why This Question Matters:

One of the most common questions I get from potential clients is how early should they reach out to book a session or wedding/elopement. The answer depends on the type of photography you need and the time of year. Wedding dates, especially during peak season (May-October), can book up more than a year in advance, while sessions have more flexibility, but still require planning. The holiday season also books up pretty quickly as I usually have a lot of personal / family things going on!
