QUESTIONS
ANSWERS
West Michigan is home!
where are you based?
I do! My passport is up to date and ready to go. Reach out with your destination plans and we'll work out the finer details together.
Do you travel for weddings and sessions?
You can expect at least 75 images per hour of coverage. But truthfully, I photograph with my whole heart and you’ll almost certainly receive more. If it’s meaningful, it’s included. From laughter and glances to golden light on your dress, every little detail I can preserve, I will.
how many photos can we expect?
Good things take time, and your memories are far too meaningful to be rushed. I give each gallery my full, undivided attention to ensure every image reflects the heart of your day. For weddings and elopements, you can expect your full gallery within 4–8 weeks, and for couple sessions, within 2–3 weeks.
If you just can’t wait, I offer a rush delivery option that delivers your full wedding gallery within one week.
How long will it take to receive our photos?
I love photographing in all kinds of weather, and I always encourage my couples to embrace whatever nature brings — rain, wind, snow, or sunshine. Each element adds texture, emotion, and beauty, making your images truly unique. That said, if the weather is extreme or unsafe, I’m happy to work with you on rescheduling. Your safety always comes first.
what if the weather is bad?
Yes! Within 48 hours of your wedding or session, I’ll send over a handful of sneak peeks — perfect for sharing with friends and family or simply reliving the joy while you wait for the full gallery.
Will we get any sneak peeks?
You’ll receive a private online gallery where you can easily view, download, and share every image. You’ll also receive a wooden USB as a tangible keepsake.
how will we get our photos back?
Yes! All of your images come with full printing rights at no extra cost. You’re welcome to print them wherever you’d like, or for ease and quality, you can order prints directly through your online gallery.
Do we have the right to print our photos?
Yes! I’ve hand-selected a small team of photographers I’ve worked closely with — each of them sharing my vision, values, and heart for storytelling. We coordinate seamlessly to ensure nothing is missed and your gallery reflects the day in its fullest beauty.
Do you work with a second shooter?
1. Email me at jaymijoyphoto@gmail.com — I truly can’t wait to hear from you!
2. I’ll send over a custom proposal with everything you need to move forward.
3. Secure your date by signing the contract and paying the 30% non-refundable retainer.
4. That’s it — you’re booked!
how do we book you?
