Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of shoots do you do?

I specialize in weddings but I can do it all! Couples shoots, like just because ones, elopements, proposals. I also shoot all kinds of portraits. Grad shoots, families, branding sessions, boudoir. If there is an idea you have that is not listed here, I am always open to a new ideas!

This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?

You don’t need to prepare much. You just need to show up as yourself. I’ll guide you through everything, from where to stand to what to do with your hands. It might feel a little awkward at first (totally normal), but I’ll help you settle in quickly. There’s no pressure to perform or pose perfectly, some of the best photos come from in-between moments. Think of it less like a photoshoot and more like hanging out, with me there to capture it.

What should I wear?

It depends on the specific project but in any case, whether it be a wedding, grad shoot, or anything else, it is best to wear something you feel good in.

How many pictures will I receive?

For weddings you will receive 500+ and for other shoots you generally will receive around 50+. For mini sessions however you will most likely receive 15-25 photos.

Where are you based? Do you travel outside those areas?

I am based in Los Angeles and Orange County but serve the entire SoCal region. I am always open to discussing travel to other areas as well.

How much are your packages?

Once you have submitted an inquiry form, I will send over a list of my packages and what comes with them. But a quick run down is, weddings start at $2,000, elopements start at $850, events start at $600, photo sessions start at $275, and mini sessions start at $150.

Is there a deposit I would need to pay to book?

Yes, in order to book you will need to send a non-refundable retainer. For weddings it is 30% of the total and for shoots it is 5%.

If I am still deciding on a photographer, is there a way to talk?

Why, yes! There is! If you are interested but not sure you would like to go with me yet, we can do a consultation call where you can see if we vibe and get a feel for how I work.

What if I have more questions?

You can either put more questions in your contact form, ask questions in the consultation call, or email me anytime at shotbysaige@gmail.com. I am always happy to give more info!

Candid, real, and intentional photography.

Because I am so excited for you to see yourself how I see you.

My goal with the photos I take are for you to feel fully seen. It is so common to want to hide and be awkward but with me it feels like you are just hanging out with a friend. I am able to capture you as you are. And I can't wait for you to see it.
