What kind of photography do you offer?
I specialize in natural, candid photography for families, couples, weddings, elopements, proposals, and events. Sessions are relaxed, joyful, and storytelling-focused.

 

Where are you located and do you travel?
I’m based in Manhattan, New York, but was raised in Westport, CT. I regularly photograph in NYC (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens), Fairfield County (CT), New Jersey, Philadelphia. I’m also always happy to travel to capture your most special moments.

​

How do I book a session with you?
Just reach out via my contact form or email me directly at carolineokanephotography@gmail.com! I’ll schedule a quick phone call to talk through the session details, answer questions, and create a custom game plan.

 

How will I receive my photos?
You’ll receive a fully edited, high-resolution online gallery (Pic-Time). All images are yours to download, print, and share freely.

 

Do you retouch or edit the photos?
Yes! Every image is professionally edited for color, light, and overall polish. I keep retouching natural—removing distractions like flyaways or small blemishes while preserving your authentic look.

 

Where are the best spots for engagement photos in NYC?
Some of my favorite engagement photo locations include Central Park (Bethesda Terrace, Bow Bridge), Dumbo & Brooklyn Bridge Park, Prospect Park, the West Village, and the NYC Public Library steps.

​

Can we combine engagement photos and save-the-dates?
Absolutely! These sessions are perfect for both.

​

What should we wear for an engagement session?
Stick to outfits that feel like you. Choose clothing you feel great in, and consider neutral tones or coordinating colors—especially if we’re shooting at the beach, park, or skyline.

​

Do you photograph proposals?
Yes! Proposal sessions include discreet coverage of the big moment plus 1 hour of editorial-style portraits and candid celebration shots.

 

Where can we take family photos in Westport, CT?
Great Westport photo spots include Compo Beach, Sherwood Island, and Winslow Park. These offer great light, space, and natural scenery.

 

What should we wear for family photos?
Coordinate without matching. Blues work well at the beach, while warm tones like reds and oranges pop in fall sessions.

 

Do you offer mini sessions?
Yes! I offer seasonal mini sessions in Westport, NYC, and Brooklyn—especially from October through December. They’re great for holiday cards or quick family updates.

 

How do I prepare my kids for a family shoot?
Bring snacks, toys, and a sense of fun! I keep things playful to help kids (and grownups) feel relaxed and engaged.

 

What’s it like to get married at NYC City Hall?
It’s fast-paced, intimate, and uniquely beautiful. I’ll document everything from signing the paperwork to portraits around Foley Square, Chinatown, and Dumbo.

 

Do you offer wedding packages?
Yes. Weddings start at $3,000 and are customized based on location, hours, and coverage style. Elopements start at $1,000. Please reach out for a personalized quote.

 

Can you help us plan our elopement photos?
Of course! We can include Manhattan skyline views, in-home getting ready shots, or even a post-ceremony stroll through Central Park.

 

Do you offer full-day wedding photography?
Yes! I offer full-day, micro wedding, backyard, estate, and NYC rooftop wedding coverage. My style is documentary and candid—capturing real emotions and all the in-between moments.

​

Do you offer albums or prints?
Yes! I offer beautiful custom albums and professional print services. Let me know what you’re envisioning and I’ll send over options.

​​

What types of events do you photograph?

• Baby showers & birthdays

• Mitzvahs & family celebrations

• Corporate events, galas, and product launches

​

How much does event photography cost?
Event coverage starts at $250/hour (2-hour minimum) and includes guest portraits, candid storytelling, and detail shots.

 

What’s included in a session?
Each session includes:

• A pre-shoot consultation

• High-resolution edited images (average 50/hour)

• Delivery within 1 week

• Unlimited personal usage rights (no watermark or print fees)

 

How do I reschedule or cancel?
