Additional Questions and Answers
Do you use shotlists? While we do work with a general list for formal shots, we do not work with day of shot lists. We work with a photojournalistic style, and capture the day as it progresses. We do not stage shots, outside of formal shots. You will find that we will naturally capture the shots you want!
How many formal shots do you take? Because of the style of our photography, and the time it takes to do formal shots, we limit the formal, posed shots that we take. Formal shots can include the bridal party, immediate family (Mother, Father, Siblings) and grandparents. We will happily take fun, laid back shots of you with your favorite cousin, or other important people during your reception! We feel that limiting the formal shots enables EVERYBODY to have more fun!
Can I get copies of the unedited files? We feel that part of our artistry lies in the post processing of our images. This is a big part of why we do not provide unedited files.
