You will first choose your wedding or couples package. Any additional travel fees acquired will be discussed with you beforehand, with the expectation that expenses such as flight, lodging, car rental, gas, and airport parking will be covered in full by the client.
How do destination travel expenses work?
I accept custom packages on a case by case basis. I'm always happy to work with my couples to fit their needs. So if you have questions, be sure to reach out and ask!
Do you offer custom wedding packages?
Since my style is more raw and authentic, I do not use photoshop to alter bodies or faces in any way. I never touch up anything unless it's temporary like blemishes, cuts, or bruises. I believe very strongly in embracing your body image and promote self love and positivity.
Photoshopping involving extreme editing like removing an individual, face swaps etc. will need to be hired out by the client through an outside party.
Can you photoshop us?
All payments are made online through HoneyBook to make things super easy! For all weddings, I require a 20% non-refundable retainer and contract signed to hold your date. Your remaining payment is due 1 month before your wedding date.
How does payment work
FAQs
I do! I offer pregnancy announcements, maternity, newborn, and family sessions through Kate Van Dorn Photography.
Do you photograph families and babies?
You will be responsible for any permit fees. Note that not all locations have permit fees (most Iowa locations do not) and we can try and avoid them if you'd like. I will ALWAYS discuss this ahead of time and get approval from you to make sure you are aware before any decision is made.
Will I have to pay any permit fees?
No. I will only ever deliver an edited image. The only time you will see an unedited image is by looking at the back of my camera screen during a shoot! I don't want you to choose me just for my shooting stye. Editing is the other half of my work and I want you to enjoy the full and final product!
Do you give out RAW files/unedited images?
I always bring professional lighting to weddings. I'll make a decision about how or when to use the lighting when I arrive to the venue.
I may also bring lighting to couples sessions if notified that you have little to no window light in your home.
Do you bring lighting?
