FAQ
Questions couples often ask
Answers to the questions I hear most. Don't see yours? Just ask me, I'm always happy to help.
Booking
How do we book you?
Just get in touch through the contact form. I'll reply with my availability, the collections guide and a full wedding gallery to look through. If it feels like a good fit, we'll set up a quick video call, phone call or in-person meeting. To reserve your date, you choose a collection, sign the contract online and pay a 30% retainer.
How far in advance should we book?
I book weddings up to a year in advance, first come, first served. Popular dates tend to go first, so reach out as soon as you have your date and venue.
How do payments work?
The 30% retainer reserves your date, and the remaining balance is due 15 days before your wedding. Everything is handled online, so it's quick and easy.
Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes! Engagement sessions start at $450, and you can add one to any wedding collection. It's a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day.
On the day
How many photographers will there be?
I'll be there myself for your whole day. A second photographer can be added to any collection and is included in the 10-hour collection. All my second photographers are experienced professionals who share my documentary style.
Do you help with the timeline?
Yes. As your date gets closer, we'll plan the photo timeline together, so there's time for family photos, portraits of the two of you, and all the moments in between. I'm happy to coordinate with your planner too.
Will we have to pose all day?
Not at all. Most of the day I photograph things as they happen. For portraits and family photos, I give simple, clear direction, so it's quick and you can get back to your guests.
What if it rains?
We'll make it work. I'll look for covered spots at your venue ahead of time, and rainy-day portraits often end up being some of the most memorable.
Do you photograph all kinds of weddings?
Yes. Big celebrations, small elopements, courthouse ceremonies, cultural and religious traditions, and every kind of couple. Tell me about the traditions that matter to you, and I'll make sure they're covered.
What if something goes wrong with your camera?
I always bring backup cameras, lenses and batteries, and every photo is saved to two memory cards at the same time, so nothing is lost.
Do you speak Lithuanian?
Taip! I speak Lithuanian and English, so bilingual families and Lithuanian traditions are always welcome.
Your photos
How many photos will we receive?
A lot! For full-day coverage, most couples receive around 700 to 1,000 photos. That's an estimate, not a limit. I keep photographing all day, even when guests are relaxing at the bar, so you'll find moments you didn't even know happened.
When will we get our photos?
Sneak peeks arrive the next day, and your full gallery is typically delivered within 2 to 4 weeks.
Do you edit all of our photos?
Yes. Every photo in your gallery is hand-edited by me. I also offer handcrafted albums, so your favorites can live somewhere other than your phone.
Are our photos watermarked?
No. Your photos are watermark-free and delivered in a private online gallery, where you can download them and share them with family. If you post them online, a photo credit is always appreciated.
Travel
Do you travel?
Yes! Travel is included within the D.C., Maryland and Virginia area. I love destination weddings too, and I've traveled with my camera to Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Germany, England, Central America and all over the U.S. For weddings farther away, travel costs are quoted up front.
