Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?
Each photograph is individually edited and can be converted to Black and White, Sepia, or Black and White with Color accents at no extra costs.
Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
Coming from a commercial background, I have learned to be able to use lighting in any situation. I feel that I can elegantly light in any setting.
Is your media preference film or digital?
I primarily shoot digital photography for its fast turnaround times and flexible editing opportunities.
How many photographers do you work with?
There is always 1 photographer and 1 lighting assistant at every wedding. The lighting assistant shoots photos during both the ceremony and the reception. I have 2 contracted assistants on staff and many associate photographers that I work with.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Yes. I am the lead photographer and am present at every wedding or photoshoot no matter what.
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
We have never booked ourselves for more than one wedding on any given day. This is your day and we wouldn't want you to share it with anyone.
Do you have a replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
We do have associate photographers that are available to shoot for us in the event of a serious emergency though we have never had such a serious emergency arise.
What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
On the day of the wedding, I bring my main camera and my back up camera. I bring lenses ranging from super wide angle to super telephoto. I bring 5 sets of lights and miscellaneous tripods, light stands and clamps.
Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Yes. I always have back up equipment ready in case of an emergency.
Do you charge hourly or full day?
We do charge hourly but all of our collections include at least 8 hours of coverage. In order to capture the emotion of the entire day, we feel it is necessary to be present from the moment you start getting ready until the very last dance.
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
I feel that it is impolite to photograph people while they are eating so that is usually the time when my assistant and I take a break. We don't require a break and are ready to go when the meal is over or the next part of the wedding begins.
Do you charge for travel?
We do have travel fees for destination weddings. Please contact us for rates.
How soon after the event are the proofs ready for viewing?
The proofs are fully edited and ready for viewing online within 7-10 days of the wedding. It can be as fast as 3 days!
In what format are the initial proofs offered?
All of our proofing is done online at www.drewbrashlerphotography.com/RedCart. We offer CD or book style proofing as well.
How long can the client keep the proofs?
Online viewing and ordering is available for three months.
Do you retain the copyright for the photos?
Drew Brashler Photography owns all photographs taken at the wedding.
Do you reserve the right to publish the photos?
Each couple signs a model release giving us permission to possibly use their photographs in print ads, online, or any other promotion.
Do you provide the digital files and/or negatives (or copies of the negatives) to the client?
We offer a CD/DVD of all wedding images with reproduction rights included with an album purchase. Please contact us for more information.
What kind of albums do you offer?
We offer both Traditional Matted albums and Flush Mount albums, which lay completely flat.
