Yes

Our cameras can handle very low light, which comes in handy for the churches that do not allow flash. We are experts in using ambient and natural light but also experts in utilizing off camera lighting. We set up both stationary and mobile lighting at your reception and post-ceremony portraits in order to gain full control over the light.

There are 3 partner/photographers plus 2 additional photographers we can call on for assistance.

Yes, all events are guaranteed 2 photographers. Usually it's 2 principle photographers (out of the 3 partners), but if we are all free, you will sometimes get all 3 of us shooting.

The only service we double book is our Photobooth service and that's only because we have hired staff that can run it without us.

Yes, and we guarantee the photographer will be a seasoned professional. But this almost never happens because there are 3 equally talented partners available to shoot your wedding.

Various fixed (prime) and zoom lenses, all of our cameras, off camera lighting (flashes and strobes), enough memory cards for all the shooters, batteries for all the various equipment, extension cords, etc. We are ready for action!

Yes, definitely. Out of 2 shooters, there are usually 3 to 4 cameras available and if there are 3 shooters, that's 2 additional cameras. We also pack batteries and chargers and lots of memory cards.

Our wedding packages included unlimited hours for the wedding day.

Our hours are unlimited on the wedding day, but if we need to shoot additional non-wedding day (i.e. rehearsal dinner, post wedding brunch), we will discuss fees as needed.

We require a dinner break of 30 minutes if the client is providing the meal. If a meal is not provided we will need 45 minutes to an hour in case we need to leave the reception venue.

We will travel within Hampton Roads and Williamsburg for free, but Richmond, Northern VA and beyond require transportation and lodging fees.

Four to six weeks.

We prefer to meet in person to display proofs, but in case of time or distance issues, we will upload them to a private viewing site. The client also receives a DVD of images to keep.

DCPG retains copyright on all images we photograph. Clients are granted unlimited personal usage - commercial usage is strictly prohibited.

If the client wants to submit the photos to wedding inspiration blogs or magazines, we're totally on board, we just ask that you work together with us prior to submission.

Yes, we provide mid-resolution digital files (printable up to 5x7") but we may move to high resolution in the near future.

Yes, all weddings will be uploaded to a secure website for both viewing and purchasing.

Flushmount albums in 10x10 and 8x8 sizes and Photobooks in the same sizes.

Due to individual design and the queue of orders, albums typically take four to six months to complete.
