Step 3 - Book your event Photography

Once you have selected your coverage and extras, book it online! Or, go to the next step to get your custom quote.

When you book online, you are just reserving a day by paying a small retainer. Once we have your day blocked off, we will reach out to discuss event details and make sure we can give you everything you need.

Your retainer is refundable until the initial consult is over just in case we can’t align on all your needs.

You can view our standard event photography terms and conditions and our service area map.

Photographer(s) will arrive 60-90 mins before the scheduled event start time to coordinate with event planners and scout locations to get the best shots and determine if any flash photography setup will be needed. Setup and tear down times are included and do not impede the coverage time selected. 4 Hours of coverage means the photographer will be onsite for at least 5.5 hours total. Very early mornings or very late evenings may incur overnight accommodation fees.

Answer questions & Get your custom quote

Let’s chat. Maybe you just have a few questions. Every event is unique, and we can make sure you’re getting exactly what you need. I typically respond very quickly – within a few hours at most. Also, feel free to call (630) 765-5829

Or, skip the phone tag and schedule a call.

If your event is taking place over multiple days or locations, has large gaps between coverage (more than 2 hours), or you have special requests, get in touch for a custom quote!

Cancellation and Reschedule Policy

Cancellations: I get it, life happens. Don’t stress about cancelling or rescheduling. If you want to cancel and receive a refund for your retainer – you have 3 days to receive a 90% refund. After the first 3 days, there is no refund of the retainer. There will also be no refund given if your scheduled appointment is less than 24 hours away. So, if you schedule two days out, you only have one day to cancel for a 90% refund. Alternatively, you can gift your session to a friend or loved one, or use it as a credit for a future session. You or a loved one have 6 months from cancellation to schedule the credit/gift session.

Rescheduling: You can reschedule your appointment anytime once without penalty. If have a sudden change of plans, even if it’s 5 minutes before your appointment – that’s OK! Get in touch to reschedule. If you cannot get in touch before your appointment, that’s OK. Just reach out as soon as you can. If you do a no-call, no-show and don’t get in touch within 36 hours after your scheduled time, your retainer will be forfeited. If you need to reschedule a second time, there is a $100 fee.
