We want to book, what’s next?

Absolutely, we love to travel whether it’s domestic or international, message us for more details.

Do you travel?

No we do not. I do some soft, natural retouching on skin and fix blemishes in Lightroom but other than that, our goal is to capture you the way you are.

Do you use photoshop?

Unfortunately, no. There is a reason most photographers do not send clients straight out of camera shots. RAW files are incrediby large and require expensive software to view them properly.

Will we get the RAW images?

If I am unable to photograph your wedding, I will have an associate shooter who I trust capture your wedding. I would edit the images to ensure you get the warm, nostalgic and romantic style that you fell in love with when you booked me.

What happens if you can’t shoot our wedding?

Of course I will! Part of being a photographer is making sure my clients are comfortable in front of the camera! I will give you some fun prompts to follow that will capture those beautiful candid and natural moments.


We’re awkward in front of the camera, will you help us?

Sneak peeks will be sent out within 3 days of your event and the full edited gallery will be delivered within 8 weeks. Engagement/portrait galleries are delivered within 7 days.


How long will it take to get our wedding gallery?

Yes! If your venue needs proof of insurance, just give me their contact info and I can email that over to them.


Are you insured and licensed?

This is thoroughly explained in my contract. Your retainer fee is non-refundable for the date you book with me as it served to reserve the day and I turned down other inquiries. You can reschedule a new date based on our availability.

What if we need to cancel or reschedule our wedding?

Lavel will shoot most weddings. In some cases, one (or more) of our associate photographers will be assigned to your wedding based on their availability. Each photographer shoots with the same artistic style and has professional-grade equipment.

Who will be our Wedding Photographer?

Within your online gallery, you will have access to our professional printing labs. You can purchase prints, canvas, acrylics, books and albums all in your PASS Gallery.

How do we purchase products?

Every wedding, elopement, and photo session is different so it’s hard to put a specific number on images. I do not limit the amount of photos I deliver. Generally for weddings you can count on 80-100 images per hour of photo coverage.  


How many images do you deliver?

frequently asked questions

Once you digitally sign the contract and pay the non-refundable $500 deposit, you are locked in.

step two: lock us in

 I am here for my couples every step of the way. You will receive one of our wedding guides in the mail to help you along the way. I have been in the wedding industry for years so I can help you whether its photography related or not. If you need vendor referrals, we can help with that too.

step three: begin planning

All of our wedding collections come with a complimentary engagement session. It’s a great time to get to know each other and get comfortable in front of the camera.

This takes place about 3-4 weeks prior to the wedding. We will reach out to you to set up this appointment whether it be via email, zoom or in person.

We cannot emphasize enough how amazing our wedding photos are! Lavel is a phenomenal photographer who helped us beautifully capture the joy, laughter, and love at our wedding. It was abundantly clear from the beginning that Lavel has an excellent eye for arranging stunning photos, as well as a special talent for working with her subjects and bringing out everyone's best sides. I don't plan on getting married again, but if I did I would hire Lavel in a second.

Lavel was fantastic to work with! She did a phenomenal job with our engagement shoot. She was super encouraging, which made us feel comfortable. She also gave detailed suggestions on how to pose, which made the experience so easy. We are obsessed with the photos she took! Definitely recommend!

"Lavel is amazing!!! Not only is she super nice but VERY talented! I’m the worst at posing and she knew exactly what to have me do. She catches the best candids too. Matt is also great!! Would give 10000 stars if I could. We have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful our photos turned out."
