Let’s Talk About Process
How does this process work? Below are the steps in which we will take from initial inquire to final gallery delivery.
Fill out the contact form and be as thorough as possible.
I will respond (SUPER FAST—I check my email like 500 times a day). In my response I will take the information you put in the contact form and probably ask a few questions about what you’re looking for.
Whether you’re looking for photography or videography services, I will invite you to either pick on of my packages listed here, or expand on your needs for a custom package to be created.
We will schedule a phone call (or FaceTime—completely up to you) and talk through everything you need to know about me, about what I am offering, and how we can curate something that best fits your needs.
You choose your preset or custom package and I write up the contract.
In addition to the contract, you will receive and invoice to make your $350 deposit (This deposit come out of the total amount and locks in your date). The remaining balance is due on the date of the wedding but can be paid at any point before then.
After signing your contract and making your deposit, we both do a quick happy dance.
We will then work together to schedule time to review all of your details before the wedding. (NOTE: I am available to you to help you through any schedule or logistical details prior to your wedding)
The week before your wedding, I will follow up to ensure you are feeling good about anything photo or video related leading up to your big day.
I capture the best photos and/or video you have ever seen in your life and you get to MARRY YOUR BEST FRIEND!
If I am hired for photography, you’ll receive a little sneak peek by the end of your reception : )
After the photos are edited and/or your video is finished, you’ll receive the highly anticipated text, “Hey, <insert your name>, YOU’RE PHOTOS ARE FINISHED!”
As soon as you receive that text, you will run, not walk, to your email and cry happy tears at what we’ve created together.
After looking through all those incredible moments from your beautiful wedding day, you’ll remember how amazing your photographer and/or videographer did and you’ll write the best review here. : ) (Thanks in advance)
Lastly, you keep me in mind for sessions in the future. I absolutely love to continue capturing important moments in my client’s lives.

Can we customize our wedding photography or videography package?
Of course! After discussing your day, we can discuss my services and create a custom package that meets your needs.
Do you travel? If so, how far?
I will travel as far as you can afford…aka…worldwide. We work together to determine how much it will cost for me to drive or fly and stay near your venue or destination. Average travel cost within US: $1,500. Average cost for International: $2,500.
Are my photos backed up and safe?
I write to two cards on the wedding day. At the night's end, I place one card in a heavy-duty pelican case. I take the other card and upload all the images to a hard drive. I then copy all the images to another hard drive. This means there are three locations with your photos just in case one were to fail.
How soon will I get my photos?
For weddings, my timeline is 6 to 7 weeks. (This time can be longer or shorter depending on workload) I deliver previews by the end of the reception.
For all other photo shoots, my timeline is 1 to 2 weeks. (This time can be longer or shorter depending on workload)
Do you offer gift cards or certificates?
YES! You can purchase a gift card here. To purchase a custom gift certificate, contact me.
“Working with Gerod was so easy and fun! He knew exactly how to get all the pictures we could have wanted, and he made us feel like we could leave it in his hands. Every photo turned out beautiful, and it’s so amazing to relive the most special day of your life through photos of each precious moment and detail. We could not have picked a better photographer for such an important event.”
