QUESTIONS?

Planning a proposal, elopement or engagement session is not something that most people are used to doing. We’re here to help along the way and that is why we believe in open and honest communication from the very start. Below are some most asked questions. However, please feel free to reach out with any other questions you may have.

Your investment for proposals and engagement sessions begins at $800 for a one hour session with both Josh & Sandra and always includes your edited high resolution digital images with a print release via a curated online image gallery. Most of our clients typically invest between $800-$1800 for their collection. Your Investment for Elopement Photography begins at $2000.

We don’t offer mini sessions— and there’s a reason for that. Our photography collections are carefully crafted to provide you with an experience that goes far beyond simply standing in front of a camera and smiling. Mini sessions, by nature, are rushed. They don’t give you the time or space to relax, connect, and truly be yourselves—and that just isn’t how we approach our work. We believe in creating a calm, intentional environment where you and your partner can feel completely comfortable. The magic doesn’t happen in a hurry. It happens when you slow down, let your guard down, and simply enjoy each other. That’s how we create photographs that feel like you—authentic, joyful, and deeply personal. This is the secret to how we capture those authentic moments that you see in our portfolios.

An intimate elopement is a small, heartfelt wedding ceremony where two people choose to get married in a more intentional way. Eloping offers a unique advantage – it prioritizes your personal experience over traditional expectations, often leading to a more meaningful and memorable wedding day with less stress. Without the pressure of coordinating vendors, managing guests, and meeting family demands, couples can enjoy a laid-back, authentic celebration focused solely on each other. Elopements are just for the couple, their officiant, and the stunning location – no bridal party or extra guests. This intimate setting allows you to be fully present and capture breathtaking imagery, before planning a bigger “happily ever after” party to celebrate with loved ones later on. Please note that we don’t offer photography services for micro weddings or large scale weddings at this time.

No we do not. Our 20+ years of experience is rooted in still photography. That is where we truly shine.

With over 20 years of combined experience, we’ve learned that great photos come from a relaxed, well-paced session—which is why we always work as a team and bring two professionals to every session. Most photographers show up solo—meaning they’re juggling everything from posing and lighting to fixing hair and keeping the mood light. With our team approach, one of us focuses on capturing the moment, while the other keeps things relaxed, fixes the little details, and helps guide you naturally. It’s like having a built-in photo assistant, cheerleader, and director all in one. Our teamwork ensures your session is smooth, fun, and stress-free, resulting in a cohesive gallery full of authentic moments.

We include basic editing and retouching to reflect our signature, true-to-life style. This often covers temporary blemishes, acne, and minor distractions, while keeping your natural features intact. We do not alter body shapes or permanent features—we believe in showcasing the real, confident you.
Our editing avoids trendy filters or overly stylized effects. Instead, we focus on natural tones, accurate colors, and timeless enhancements that ensure your photos still look beautiful and relevant years from now. The goal is for your images to reflect how the moment truly felt—with warmth, authenticity, and lasting beauty.

Yes absolutely! We go over location options post-booking with your preferences in mind. Living in South Lake Tahoe we are always out in nature exploring and discovering beautiful spots for photography sessions. We also have some stunning tried and true Lake Tahoe locations.

Yes we do offer travel services. Pricing is dependent on the location and distance from South Lake Tahoe, where we are located. Please note that we do not offer travel services in winter months due to the unpredictability of the weather. If wanting a winter session the location will need to be located in South Lake Tahoe.

The weather in Tahoe can be tricky as it can change rapidly. Looking at the weather forecast over a week or even a few days in advance is hardly ever accurate. We have found that a little rain or snow can make for a fun and adventurous session with beautiful backdrops. Please be prepared for any kind of weather as we do know of some locations that will work even if there is a little precipitation. If however, the weather proves to be unsafe to be outside in(we’re talking full-scale blizzard here ), we will make every effort to work with your timing to reschedule your session.

We understand that you’re excited to see your photos and we’re just as excited to get them into your hands! Our typical turnaround time is up to 6-8 weeks for elopement photos and 2-3 weeks for portrait sessions. We take great care in editing each image to ensure they meet our high standards.

All of our booking details are handled online through our client portal. We require a completed contract and a non-refundable booking retainer of one-half of your collection total. Please note that we can only confirm our services for your session date and time with a completed contract and retainer payment. 

We are very flexible with rescheduling but we do not offer refunds of the retainer payment made as it covers the cost of holding your date and time. In the event that you do need to reschedule, your retainer payment will be made available for a period of up to three months to use towards another session. At the time of rescheduling, a new contract will need to be signed before the new session date and time is confirmed along with a $50 rescheduling fee. If rescheduling your elopement, a $250 rescheduling fee will apply and the retainer will be made available for redemption for a period of up to six months.
