JIMMY + PATTI // LONG ISLAND WEDDING CELEBRATION

WEDDINGS + ELOPEMENTS + LOVERS

I’m Here for You

Truly. From the moment you land here, my priority is you and the experience you’re creating together.

My approach is relaxed, laid-back, and welcoming. The kind of energy that lets you exhale and be fully present. I believe your wedding day should feel joyful and unforced, whether you’re surrounded by loved ones, under the city lights or tucked away on your own.

Behind the scenes, I’m thoughtful and intentional. I love diving into the details, anticipating what you’ll need maybe before you even realize it, and stepping in when it’s helpful. That can look like building timelines and creating vision boards for sessions, giving my honest take and leaving room for the day to unfold as it should.

The images we create together are meant to feel timeless and lived in. There’s a time and place for a mixed approach of documentary, editorial and prompting, but if you look back at your photos and don’t feel something, or can’t picture yourself right back there, then I haven’t done my job.

This is more than just photos. It’s about creating something honest, meaningful, and fun. Memories you’ll carry with you long after the day is over. Type A AND type B people make the best photographers.

I’ve got you.

FAQ

Do you travel? Yes! I travel for the majority of my weddings and some require me to be gone for an entire weekend. I always include travel into my collections. That way there is no surprise invoices coming to your inbox. I create these collections specifically for you and factor any necessary travel into every part of your pricing guide. That includes mileage/time, hotel, car rental, food, etc…

What if we want digital photography and Super 8? When you book both, I approach your day with intention. I’ll be capturing the big moments and all the in-betweens with my digital camera, while also weaving in Super 8 throughout the day. Think: slow pans of your venue, laughing guests, wind in your hair, champagne pops in 24 frames per second. The two formats don’t compete. They compliment each other, giving you a wedding story that feels full and layered, like flipping through a photo album and watching it come to life.

Are there any other fees not added into the collections? No. All travel and taxes are included in the collections. UNLESS you decide to change the location of your event, time, day, travel, overnight stay or rental fee may be added onto your collection with additional approval. If we decide to enter a state park/national park, additional entry or permit fees will apply and have to be paid before your wedding or session takes place.

We are “bad” in front of the camera. Can you work with that? I like to think that nobody has had their picture taken professionally since they had senior photos taken. Everybody is awkward in front of the camera to start, but it’s my job to make you comfortable and I like to think I do a pretty dang good job at it.

How many photos do we get? As a primarily single shooter I can promise 50 images an hour. Do I over-deliver? Every. Single. Time. Elopements and intimate weddings usually have between 300-450 images delivered and around 600-800 on longer wedding days and more if I photograph a welcome party.

Can our wedding guests see our photos? Of course! After your collection is finished you receive it on an online gallery. You can share your gallery with anyone and it allows your guests to view it as well as download any photos I may have taken of them that day. It’s pretty awesome and WAY easier for you guys! I can also make the photos private if you wish for nobody to see them.

Do you have backup gear and insurance? Yes. I sure do. I always arrive to weddings with backup gear and I can provide proof of insurance or add additional insurance if required by the venue or property.

Why do you ask for my wedding budget? I really do want to work with you, but I know every couple has a budget for their day. As a full-time wedding photographer I can’t always work with budgets #becauseadulting but I can work with you on your budget IF your wedding is 1) on an “off-season” which is generally between Feb-April  2) you waited until last minute and HOLY CRAP! your wedding is now less than 3 months away. I also like this question, because if it’s not a budget I’m able to work with. I can recommend someone awesome who can!

I like it! Now what? After you review the collections and decide the best fit for your day, I send you a quote with the preferred payment plan on the decided collection. You then approve the quote and lock it down!
