I’m so sorry, but no. I do not give out the RAW images to anyone. RAW files are unfinished, unprocessed files that are part of my creative workflow. My final images are carefully edited and color-graded to reflect my artistic style and the quality I want to deliver to every client. For this reason, RAW/unedited files are not included in galleries or available for purchase. What you receive is the finished, professionally edited version of your images — exactly as I intend them to be seen.

This is a completely valid concern. I thankfully have only had this once in all my years of photographing, and it was due to surgery. God forbid if this were to happen, I have a list of trusted photographers I reach out to to cover your day! If timing allows, I will set up a three way call between us so you can meet them before your wedding. They will provide the coverage and then give me the photos to edit!

All payments are made through your portal, which also will have your invoice, contract, and any questionnaires for your event. For weddings, 30% is due for deposit to secure your date, and the remaining payments can be split between 6 month, 3 month, or monthly payments. For sessions, 50% is due to book, and the remainder is due a week before your session.

For anything outdoors, I only do sessions before 11 am or after 5 pm, save for special exceptions. Sunlight plays a crucial role in the look of your photos, and taking photos when the sun is at it’s brightest does not yield the desired results. Any lifestyle or couples session will take place near sunrise or sunset.

Neutral and earthy tones look best for lifestyle or couples sessions. Think browns, deep greens, tans, navy blues, dark reds, etc. Neutrals will age the best in your photos. If you’re interested in doing something lighter and brighter, let me know - I’m always down to shoot outside the box.

I do not post children’s faces for the public on any of my social media pages. If you would like the password for these galleries, please message me at @laurageephoto on Instagram.
