I begin editing immediately, with shorter sessions typically ready in 1-2 days, and weddings in 1-3 weeks. You can track progress in your gallery and use finished images right away. The total number of photos varies based on session details, with the goal of providing as many high-quality images as possible.

(Retouching is edits of the skin and other facial features. Retouching removes face and body blemishes, moles, sweat, wrinkles, dark circles, flyaway hair, teeth whitening, teeth repair, etc, up to flawless but with a natural look. Client has preference on extent of edit, I can basically do about anything)

(for proposal session I will hide out and capture the moment with a very long lens out of sight when you ask your love to be your forever and then do photos after. For advance package with video... area needs place to conceal a small camera. 1 hour sessions are great for if you want an engagement session after proposal or family and styled photos after elopement. Elopements I come professional dressed as I would a wedding, with 2 cameras and everything else that I would normally bring to a wedding. Proposals and elopements have more prep time, planning and communication involved that a basic photo shoot)

(It's hard to give an exact price or photo quantity for sports sessions, but it will average around $400 for the first hour, 100$ after per hour, it really depend on what I have to bring to setup or use, additional charge products that I need to buy for shoot like smoke (handheld smoke ranges for 10-40$ a piece online), butane for fire.
If working with fire, smoke, sparks, or similar elements, the client or guardian MUST sign a liability release. I always work in a safe manner and will always show proper use, buuut fire can have a mind of it own and smoke can stain clothes, also isn't great to breathe in, have to always use caution and extreme care.
To save on costs of smoke, I do have a portable liquid based smoke machine that uses a natural liquid that safer to breathe, that just does white clouds and then I use colored gels on my strobes for particular color, this is free and no added costs.
I also do videos, prices vary depend on the type of video, length and how much of a wow factor you want (but all of my videos have that wow factor :) ). I use high quality expensive gear with the ability to do video up to 8k. Weddings start at 900$, starting price is for a shorter day coverage and short videos. All videos will be professional edited, taylored direct to you and will have licensed music, so you can share online no matter what platform. Videos can be delivered in 2k, 4k, or 8k resolution, also mp4 or mov format. I shoot videos in 12 bit Raw for flexiblity in editing, provide hidden external mics and also use a gimbal for most of my work. I don't do low quality video, once my work hits online or is shared, the work is a direct reflection of me, I always want to provide the best no matter what the price is.
