FAQ

  • What types of photography services do you offer?

    We specialize in capturing life's most cherished moments through various photography services, including luxury weddings, engagements, family portraits, senior sessions, and mini sessions. Our goal is to provide timeless and heartfelt imagery that reflects your unique story.

  • Where are you located, and do you travel for shoots?

    Based in Wisconsin, we primarily serve the Midwest region. However, we are more than happy to travel to your desired location to capture your special moments. Travel fees may apply depending on the distance; please contact us for more details.

  • How can I book a session?

    Booking a session is simple! Simply head over to the "Let's Chat" section to fill out our contact form. Provide us with details about the type of session you're interested in, preferred dates, and any specific ideas you have. We'll get back to you promptly to discuss availability and next steps.

  • What is the turnaround time for receiving our photos?

    For full sessions and weddings, the turnaround time may vary depending on the scope of the project. We aim to deliver your images promptly while ensuring the highest quality.

    We strive to deliver previews for all our sessions that provide our clients with 20-40+ portraits of their session in about 2-7 days depending on timing. Most clients receive their full album in as little as 30 days with weddings taking about 3 months.

  • Do you offer Engagement Sessions in your packages?

    Yes! Engagement sessions are included in most of our wedding packages because they’re a perfect way for us to get to know each other. It helps you get comfortable in front of the camera and allows us to better capture your chemistry on the big day.

    Our packages are completely customizable so we can work with you on making sure you get everything you want and nothing that you don’t need! :)

  • Do you always have a second shooter?

    Most of our sessions include a second shooter to ensure we don’t miss a single moment! Having two photographers also means we can be in two places at once and get different types of shots! Individual portraits or smaller sessions will likely only have one photographer.

    Weddings ALWAYS have 2-3 photographers and if you choose to add videography to your package, you will have one-two photographers and a dedicated videographer that also shoots portraits.

    Michelle

    Kyle was amazing to work with from the start! He truly listened to what the bride and groom wanted and communicated throughout, meeting with us beforehand to check out the event space and sharing ideas with the bride. They were friendly and gracious throughout the wedding. Many of our guests commented how wonderful both Kyle and Tanner were. A blog and preview photos were available less than a week after the wedding and are just stunning. We are in love with the pictures!

    Taylor

    Working with Kyle made family photos such an easy and fun experience. There was no awkward standing around trying to figure out what to do with my hands or whether the photo would look cheesy afterward. He always let us have first go and took some great candid shots, but grounded us with great instructions on what to do to get a bunch of amazing looking photos in the end.
