Your Questions, Answered

  • Once the client (that’s you!) reaches out to express interest in working with me, I will respond with some introductory information and to schedule a free consultation to go over the logistical details of the event that you know so far, your specific needs for your wedding photography, and most importantly to get to know you better and hear all about your plans for the big day. Following that consultation, the client will choose a collection that suits their needs the best and I will send a contract to be filled out, signed, and sent back to me. Once I receive your signed contract and the non-refundable deposit, the date will officially be booked!

    As the date of the wedding approaches, I will reach out to schedule a second phone meeting to confirm the timeline of the day. The remainder of the payment will be due one month prior to the wedding day. I will provide a sneak peek of 10-15 preview images within 7-10 days of the wedding day and the remainder of the images arriving 4-6 weeks following the wedding day. Photos from any other type of shoot (engagement, proposal, bridal, etc.) can be expected within two weeks of the shoot. Same-day or “rush” edits available upon request and for an additional fee.

  • Every. single. one. And I love it! Seriously, every human being on the planet is different from the next and we should celebrate that. I consider myself to be neurodivergent and so, while being a little bit of an introvert, I do love meeting and working with new people and learning about them, their lives, and their loved ones. If you have any questions about your needs and what you can expect when working with me, I would love to hop on the phone with you for a consultation.

  • First and foremost, wear something that you will be comfortable in, especially during a non-wedding shoot where your outfit choice isn't built into the day. Solid colors or coordinated patterns are great, but ultimately be you. My one avoidance would be to shy away from name brands (again, unless that is your style). Try to keep your personal bag or purse to as minimal a size as possible; only bring the necessities. Props and outfits changes are absolutely welcome.

  • Don't worry! I totally understand that the second a camera is on you, we all start second guessing even our most basic of movements. My best piece of advice is to take a deep breath and allow your body to completely relax. You aren't on a photo shoot with a ton of awkward posed photos, you are out for a walk with your new photographer friend Katie who is here to make the your experience not only enjoyable but fun too!

  • You can send a message to me anytime via the contact page on the site or my email at katiesikphoto@gmail.com. I aim to respond to requests within 48 hours unless otherwise noted. After booking, clients will have an open line of direct communication via email, text, and/or phone calls.
