How do you
identify your primary photographic style?
My style is photojournalistic for the majority of the day with creative portraits that concentrate on having fun and being you - never stiff and contrived. |
Please describe
any special techniques you offer:
I am very experienced in retouching and enhancements. There is no extra charge for different color treatments or most enhancements. |
Which lighting
situations do you have experience with?
Being a wedding photographer means being prepared to photograph in any and all lighting situations, however I do strive to find or create the most flattering light when at all possible. |
Do you have a
media preference?
Digital |
How many
photographers do you work with?
Typically it is myself and a second photographer, however smaller weddings may choose to hire just me or very large weddings may opt to add a third photographer and/or an assistant. |
Do you
guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Yes |
Do you
sometimes book yourself for more than one wedding in a day?
Never, ever more than one a day and typically I won't book more than one in a weekend. I want each of my clients to receive the attention the deserve and never to feel like a number. |
Do you have a
replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on
the wedding day?
Yes- I am part of a very large network of photographers and we back one another up in the event of emergencies. |
What kind of
equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
3-4 digital SLR cameras, 3-4 flashes, professional grade lenses to cover wide to telephoto ranges and every thing in between, excessive amounts of batteries and memory cards, a big bag full of goodies and even things I may never even use! =) |
Do you bring
back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Yes - and back-ups to the back-ups too! |
Do you charge
hourly or full day?
Typically couples hire me for the day but occasionally I get requests to cover a few hours for a back yard wedding or very small affair. |
If hourly, are
you available for shooting overtime? If so, how much do you
charge for overtime?
Overtime is available at $300 per hour for 2 photographers |
Do you require
a meal break? If yes, do you require that the wedding party
provide your meal?
Yes, for any event over 8 hours, I do require that a meal is provided for myself and any photographer or assistant. |
How many breaks
do you usually take throughout the day?
We take a break just long enough to eat and bathroom breaks as needed. Your day doesn't stop and neither do we! |
Do you charge
for travel?
Only if the wedding is taking place more than 90 minutes (reasonable) driving time from New Windsor, NY or Fairfield, CT. |
How soon after
the event are the proofs ready for viewing?
Two weeks or less |
In what format
are the initial proofs offered?
