The things people ask before they book
Questions and answers
How booking works, where I travel, what a wedding or a session costs and how your photos arrive. If your question isn’t here, ask me.
Booking and the day
How do we book you?
There are many ways to get in touch about photos. Fill out the inquiry form here on the site, send me a message on Facebook or Instagram, or reach out by phone or email.
Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes I do. Some of my wedding collections include a complimentary engagement session, so if you’re also looking for a wedding photographer, make sure you reach out.
How do you handle family photos on the wedding day?
Family photos on your wedding day are easy, simple and fairly quick — we don’t want to take too much time away from the celebrating. Before the day I’ll ask you for a family list for the formal shots, and on the day I’ll call out the groups. Easy peasy!
We’re awkward in front of a camera. Is that a problem?
Not at all — most people are. I keep sessions relaxed and use active prompts instead of stiff posing, and any nerves usually disappear the moment we meet. You’re given a space to be unapologetically you.

Travel and style

Uh, YES! Being trusted to capture you and your loved ones on the most important day of your life is my favorite thing to do, no matter where in the world we are. If you want me to travel, reach out and let’s get connected.
Where is V Marie Photo based, and how far do you travel?
I’m based in Southeast Michigan. Wedding collections include 60 miles of travel within Michigan, family and couples sessions include 45 miles, and I travel for destination weddings anywhere.
What is your photography style?
Warm, true-to-color and bold, with a lifestyle approach: raw, candid and natural. Sessions are relaxed and free-flowing so real emotion gets captured rather than stiff poses.

Send it my way with the date and what we’re shooting. The first conversation is about you, not a contract.
