Do you
guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Yes, all weddings booked through BG Pictures are photographed by me only, to ensure the highest standard of quality. |

Never! For every hour I am on-site, I spend at least another developing. I devote my time and attention to only one event per day, usually only one per weekend. |
Do you have a
replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on
the wedding day?
I do have qualified replacements in such an emergency, however the situation has never occurred. |

Two camera bodies, multiple flashes, studio lighting, portable power, a selection of lenses and backup equipment - everything needed to capture the shot! |
Do you bring
back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Absolutely! If it can go wrong, it will - backups are a must. Everything from batteries to cables to cameras. |
Do you charge
hourly or full day?
Most clients book hourly, however I do have multiple packages including all day coverage available. |
If hourly, are
you available for shooting overtime? If so, how much do you
charge for overtime?
Yes, at the end of the booked session, the bride is asked if she would like me to continue. Overtime is booked at the straight rate that was booked. |
Do you require
a meal break? If yes, do you require that the wedding party
provide your meal?
No I do not. I'm there to work, not party. I make friends with the wait staff and grab some water when needed! |

do you usually take throughout the day?
None. |
Do you charge
for travel?
Only 50+ miles outside the Tampa Bay area. |
