Got questions? I got answers!
How much do you charge?
If you want to see my current rates for Weddings, Engagements, Elopements, or Portraits, please see my Pricing Page. I may not be the most bargain-priced photographer some may opt for but I promise that I don't mess around when it comes to giving my clients the best experience and highest quality. You are investing in a product and experience with someone who deeply cares about how your photos will turn out and will go to the ends of the earth to get you that perfect shoot.
How many photos do we get?
I don't like to say you will receive X amount of photos because each wedding is unique. However, I generally average around 40-50 photos per hour, if that gives you an idea of how many I take. Again, I take the quality over quantity approach so when you get your photos, you will always get the best from me!
Do we get RAW photos?
I will never give out RAW photos. All photos will be edited for consistency and quality.
I am having a wedding in a venue but I want epic engagement photos.
A lot of my couples that have a wedding in a venue or church want to get photos like my elopement couples. We can absolutely travel for your engagement photos! I LOVE planning out the outfits and locations with my couples. We travel all over from Hawaii to LA to Korea, Japan and Iceland! Let's get out there!
Can you photoshop me?
This is always a tough decision as I will always try and edit out any temporary blemishes such as acne or anything requested like scars, but if you would like anything more than that, please feel free to let me know, and we can discuss that further.
When do we get our photos?
My turnaround time for weddings is four weeks. Elopements are around six weeks. If I anticipate anything that will take longer, I will be sure to let you know. For my portrait shoots, you can expect a two week turnaround time.
Can I print my photos?
You hold rights to download, print and use your photos for personal use.
I'm awkward in front of the camera. What do I do?
I focus my photography on natural raw emotions. I love living in the moment and capturing moments like a fly on a wall. BUT I’m also not going to let you sit there and be an awkward taco. I will help by directing you, giving prompts and guiding you through! Just lmk your good side ;)
Can you speak Korean?
One frequent comment I hear is, “Oh, you're white.” Yes, buuut this white guy can communicate in Korean even though he is far from fluent. I have what they call a “working knowledge” of Korean, and I will communicate with elders in Korean especially during family photos and group photos. I’ve found that this makes the process much easier for all of us. My video team and second shooters typically speak Korean as well.
What do I need to do to secure you?
The best way to secure me is to slide in my DMs on my CONTACT page. I will get back to you within 48 hours.
Booking Photo and Video? Is it just you?
No! If you book both Photo and Video I will have a team of 2 or 3 to help me with the day. The best part is that the colors will match and we are very good at understanding where we need to be so this doesn’t happen (see below image) Note that this is very rare but sometimes this happens when another videographer is newer.
