FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Following are a questions couples often ask when choosing a wedding photographer. If you have a question that isn’t covered here, feel free to email us at [email protected] or call us at 888-880-3221. You are of course welcome to meet with us in person.
Q. DO YOU OFFER CUSTOMIZED WEDDING PACKAGES?
Yes. Our wedding photography packages can be tailored to fit different needs and styles. Packages start at around $1,895 and include unlimited high-resolution photos from your wedding day. We can also create custom packages that include wedding albums, multi-day coverage, and destination weddings.
Q. HOW WILL YOU KNOW WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IN OUR WEDDING PHOTOS?
We may not know exactly what to expect, but our years of experience help us ask the right questions and guide you through the process.
Q. CAN WE MEET YOU IN PERSON BEFORE WE CONSIDER BOOKING YOU?
Yes. We encourage meeting in person before the wedding. Since we’ll be spending much of your wedding day with you and your family, it’s helpful for us to meet beforehand and get to know each other a little.
Q. WHAT TYPE OF CAMERA EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
We use professional Canon full-frame mirrorless cameras along with a range of Canon L-Series lenses. Our equipment is regularly updated, and we know how to get the most out of it in a variety of lighting conditions.
Our lenses include a 14–24mm Art Series lens for architectural and wide-angle photographs, a 24–70mm for general photography, and a 70–200mm telephoto that works especially well for candid moments. One of my personal favorites is the 85mm f/1.4, which I often use for portraits.
We also carry a range of professional lighting equipment and additional gear so we're prepared for different locations, lighting conditions, and shooting situations.
Q. DO YOU HAVE BACKUP EQUIPMENT?
Yes. We carry backup equipment with us throughout the wedding day. If a camera or other piece of equipment fails, we can switch to a backup immediately. Keeping spare gear in the car doesn’t help when the bride is walking down the aisle. Wedding ceremonies don’t come with second takes, so we’re prepared for equipment problems as they happen.
Q. ARE WE ALLOWED TO PRINT OUR WEDDING PHOTOS?
We provide our clients with reproduction rights to their photos, so you are free to have prints made wherever you choose. You are not required to order prints through our studio.
If a photo lab asks for proof that you have permission to print the images, your contract can be used as verification. Many professional labs require this before printing photographs taken by a professional photographer.
Q. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET PHOTOS?
We upload your high resolution wedding photographs to a private online gallery as soon as the editing is complete. Most weddings are ready within 3–4 weeks, although turnaround times may vary depending on the time of year and our schedule.
Wedding albums typically take an additional 6–8 weeks for design and production.
Q. HOW ARE THE PHOTOS DELIVERED?
You can download your high-resolution photos directly from your password-protected online gallery. They can also be viewed on any Smart Device. We can also deliver your photos on a USB thumb drive that can be viewed on PCs or Macs.
Q. WHAT FORMAT ARE DIGITAL FILES DELIVERED AND CAN THEY BE SHARED ON SOCIAL MEDIA SITES?
Your photos are delivered as high-resolution 300 dpi JPEG files suitable for printing by a professional Lab. You can also resize the files for sharing on social media or other websites.
Q. WILL WE RECEIVE EVERY SINGLE PICTURE TAKEN AT OUR WEDDING OR ENGAGEMENT SESSION?
No. We review all photos and remove near duplicates, flash misfires, and other images that don’t meet our standards. We also leave out photos that upon reflection, may be considered unflattering. The goal is to provide you with a strong set of images that you’ll feel good about.
Q. DO YOU “AIRBRUSH” OR USE AI TO ALTER OUR PHOTOGRAPHS?
Photos from your wedding are professionally edited before delivery. This includes adjustments to brightness, color, contrast, sharpness, and other basic corrections as needed.
We also offer additional editing services by requests such as sky replacement, object/people removal, and background replacement. This type of editing can be time consuming when done right, so depending on the image and the work involved, a project like this might be priced separately. We can provide a custom quote based on your specific request.
Q. DO YOU PROVIDE ALL OF OUR WEDDING PHOTOS IN COLOR, BLACK AND WHITE AS WELL AS SEPIA?
No. We do not provide every photo in all three styles, as this would result in an unnecessary number of duplicate files. Instead, we decide whether each image works best in color, black and white, or muted tones.
If you would like your photos edited in a particular style, please let us know before processing begins. We’ll be happy to consider your preference and apply it where appropriate.
