It depends on the session! We suggest reaching out at least a month in advance for most sessions. For weddings, we book dates of up to one year out (and sometimes even more)! No matter who you choose as a photographer for your wedding day, we suggest booking as soon as possible to make sure you can secure your date.

In general it will take 2-3 weeks. During this time, we’ll tease photos on our social channels, so you won’t feel like you’re missing a beat. During the busy season in the early fall, it could take a week or two longer.

For weddings, expect up to an 8 week turnaround time for your full album and 24 hours for sneak peek previews.

You sure can! It will always be an extra charge, but sometimes it’s worth every penny. We recommend a second photographer for wedding sessions in particular so we can be capturing every moment from every angle. It’s also handy for moments when the bride and groom are separated (getting ready shots).

We’re a Nikon household! We have two Nikon DSLRs with an assortment of lenses to fit your specific situation in addition to tripods and external flashes.

We require a $100 non-refundable booking fee for all sessions (excludes weddings – see below).

Wedding sessions require a non-refundable booking fee of $250. In addition, we expect full payment of your remaining balance at least 14 days prior to your wedding day.

The booking fee comes off of your total session price and is only used as insurance in the case of a no-show or late cancellation.

Looking to reschedule? Reach out to us and we’ll be happy to accommodate you.

Thanks for choosing Patrick Davis Photography to capture your special day!

We’ll be reaching out soon to schedule an introductory meeting where we introduce ourselves, get to know you, and discuss your must-have shots, timeline, wishlist and more. We’ll meet again a few weeks before your wedding day to check in, make sure everything is on track, and to celebrate YOU!

++ We offer 50% off our engagement packages for couples that book their wedding with us. It’s a great way to spend some time with you and get you comfortable in front of the camera (bottle of champagne included)! Please let us know during booking if you’re interested in setting up this discounted session with us!

Yes! I normally shoot in southeastern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois but am willing to travel!

I’ve also done destination weddings all over the US (and in Mexico).
