How do you
identify your primary photographic style?
I like a nice mix of relaxed traditional portraits and photojournalistic coverage. I use pure documentary coverage during your day except for the formal portraits. That is the only time I will direct people what to do. I love using available light and finding beautiful pictures no one else noticed. |
Please describe
any special techniques you offer:
I carefully edit each image myself and use several different techniques to make colors pop and creamy black and white images. |
Which lighting
situations do you have experience with?
I have experience with every kind of light out there. Honestly. I photographed a reception that literally had one spotlight to light the entire space. |
Do you have a
media preference?
I love film and digital, but for workflow purposes I use the highest professional standard digital cameras and lenses. |
How many
photographers do you work with?
1-2 |
Do you
guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Absolutely. I'm part of the whole experience. |
Do you
sometimes book yourself for more than one wedding in a day?
No! I only photograph one wedding per day, per weekend. |
Do you have a
replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on
the wedding day?
Yes. |
What kind of
equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
I bring all of my standard equipment and back ups. |
Do you bring
back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
See above. :) |
Do you charge
hourly or full day?
I offer packages which include a set number of hours - the number of hours vary per package. |
If hourly, are
you available for shooting overtime? If so, how much do you
charge for overtime?
I am available for overtime. |
How soon after
the event are the proofs ready for viewing?
Proofs are ready 3-4 weeks after the event. |
In what format
are the initial proofs offered?
I offer online proofing which is very convenient for out of town guests and relatives and the couple receives a 4x6" print of each edited picture. |
How long can
the couple keep the proofs?
I do not require proofs to be returned. |
Do you retain
the copyright for the photos?
Absolutely. Copyright and permission for a client to print their pictures are two completely different things. I will never sell my copyright to any of my pictures. I will give permission to my clients to reprint their pictures for personal use.
|
Do you reserve
the right to publish the photos?
Yes. |
Do you provide
the digital files and/or negatives (or copies of the
negatives) to the couple?
The files are offered in my packages. |
Will images be
available for viewing on an online gallery?
Yes. |
What kind of
albums do you offer?
I offer hand made leather albums and hard cover custom coffee table books. |
When will I get
the final book?
Albums are shipped anywhere from 4-6 months after the client approves the final layout. |
