Engagement sessions are not included in wedding packages, but you can absolutely book this as an add-on. It allows us to get comfortable with each other, so we’re smooth sailing come wedding day. This time helps me get to know you better as a couple, and see what makes your personalities come to life. Engagement sessions are $400 and include high-res digital files.

Is there a specific location that’s meaningful to you? If you’re stumped, I have a list of great locations and can recommend one based on the look and feel you envision.

We want you to stand out, so think about the location. If we are going to a park, try not to wear green to avoid blending in with the background. Outfit ideas can be found on my Pinterest board if you’ve been rummaging through the closet. We will have time for one outfit change.

Sometimes, couples like to have a variety of seasons. For example, if you’re getting married in the fall, a spring engagement session will provide a different scene. Photographing start time will start 1.5-2 hours before sunset.

My bags were packed yesterday! I’m easily persuaded to explore new places, and am anxious to hear what you have planned. Let’s talk about the in’s and out’s in more detail, so we can work on a custom travel fee.

I approach my work in a true documentary style. This means that I will not stage any photographs and essentially a fly on the wall. There will be very little to no direction throughout the day. This allows you to simply relax, have fun, and enjoy each other. Your wedding gallery will be filled with real, authentic moments.

I am dedicated to the documentary style of photography and throughout the day stay true to that approach of story telling. However, if you have family grouping requests, I am happy to photograph those for you.

This is one of the most important questions that comes up during the planning process, and it’s really a loaded question. I’m happy to discuss based on your ceremony/reception setup. Once we find out what time the sun sets, we will go from there!

Yes, a second photographer is something we can add-on to your package for $300. I love having another photographer with me for wedding days for several reasons:

• I physically can’t be in two places at once.
• we can divide and conquer, covering as much as we possibly can.
• Another photographer can also shoot from a different angle and/or perspective while I am shooting from another.
• More final photos in your gallery.
• Technology back-up. Think of our cameras like computers.. anything can happen, so back-up is key.

For your wedding, I don’t know yet! I will hire this person based on their work, professionalism, and availability. We have a great photography community and we all work with each other.

I will carefully hand-select and retouch your final images before uploading them to an online password protected gallery for easy downloading. If you’ve purchased an album, we’ll start getting your book ready for first round of edits.

Well, I promise that a little cold won’t keep me away from photographing your wedding. If for whatever reason there is a catastrophe, and I am not able to fulfill my duties, I will do everything I can to help you find a replacement photographer of similar style and equal professionalism. You would also be refunded. This information is outlined in our contract.

Allison Mah Photography LLC owns copyright, but the good thing is, you don’t need it! Copyright can easily get confused with a print release. You actually don’t need to own the copyright to print or post your images.

You will receive your online gallery no later than six weeks after your wedding date.

I believe in quality over quantity. I cannot promise you an exact number of final images because factors like hours of coverage, number of guests, traveling time, etc. On average, you’ll receive an estimated 60 images per hour.

I love both color and B&W photography. As your photographer, I will decide which version best suits each image. You will not receive both versions for every image in your gallery.

There is something about having a tangible book. An album is your first heirloom that will be passed down as a married couple. If you select a package with an album, you will receive 15% off the album price. If you did not purchase a package that includes an album, you can still purchase one. I will design custom layouts with the images I believe were the best representation of your day. You will have two rounds of edits. It’s a perfect, sentimental gift to say ‘thank you’ to parents too!
