FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
How long have you been a photographer?
I have been shooting full time for almost 20 years.
What equipment do you use?
My cameras are Canon 5D Mark IV's with lots of low light L-Series lenses.. I bring a variety of options for lenses that will produce a difference in looks ranging from zoom, wide angle, fisheye, etc. as well as many flashes to use as needed. Also, I bring extra backup equipment on a wedding day.
What is the timeline of the wedding day?
We usually get started about 3 hours before the ceremony and typically don’t leave until the reception is over – depending on which package you chose or how many hours you want us there.
Do you back up the unedited and edited photos?
There are always at least 2 copies of any photos I take of you. My cameras write to separate cards as we go through the day. And during the reception, I begin transferring cards on to my computer. Once the photos are edited, they are put on two hard drives both of which stay locked up in a fireproof safe for extra safety when not in use.
What is the turn around time to see the wedding photos?
I always tell my clients editing takes about 4-6 weeks as a rough estimate. I do offer an expedited option to put you on top of the list to edit for a fee.
How many photos can we expect in our collection?
Engagement sessions end up at around 150 photos. A good photo average for a wedding day is around 1,000. It can be more or less depending on how many guests you have, what traditions you do/don’t do, etc.
What are your thoughts on engagement sessions?
I love them! It’s a great time for us to get comfortable with each other which makes for a really smooth wedding day. These photos are great for save the dates wedding website photos!
Tell me about your second shooters.
The are the best. I use several different second shooters, but they all shoot weddings as main photographers as well. They are the top of our industry, and I completely trust them to take amazing photos on your wedding day. My goal is to tell your wedding day story, FULLY. So having that extra set of eyes to shoot opposite ends of the room is such a bonus.
How do I see my final images and get them from you?
Once editing is complete, I load your photos to an online gallery. You can download that gallery and send the link to friends/family. If you want a USB of your images, we offer those a la carte as well.
Do you offer wedding albums?
We LOVE making wedding albums. Digital images are awesome for social media and cell phone screen savers. But an album is something so priceless and can be passed down forever.
How do I book you?
Once we decide to move forward working together, I’ll send you a contract and instructions on how to pay the non refundable deposit. The remaining balance is due the week of your wedding.
