We only shoot weddings and we've shot over 150 weddings in the past 3 years giving us a lot experience in all lighting situations from complete darkness to 12:00 in the afternoon when the sun is the brightest
Is your media preference film or digital?
Digital only, we take anywhere from 500-1500 photos which is virtually impossible with film.
How many photographers do you work with?
Myself (Elly) another very experience photojournalistic photographer will accompany me.
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
I absolutely will not shoot more than one wedding a day, however it is not uncommon for us to shoot a Friday and Saturday wedding or Saturday and Sunday wedding
Do you have a replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
Yes I have 4 photographers that work for me so if there is an emergency then they should be able to take my place.
Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
absolutely this is a very important day, we can't miss a moment!
Do you charge hourly or full day?
I have different packages that come with different times, but if you want to add more time you can add it for an hourly fee.
Do you charge for travel?
Yes but its a very reasonable fee and we'll go anywhere. Contact us for a quote!
How soon after the event are the proofs ready for viewing?
It depends on how many photo's we take (which depends on how long you book us). Also what is going on at that time. We go through and individually edit each photo. Going through 1500 photo's can take over 40 hours. With that being said it can take between 2-5 weeks depending on the volume we are receiving at that time.
In what format are the initial proofs offered?
4x6 proofs, CD, and/or your own personal website
How long can the client keep the proofs?
forever, they are theirs to keep
Do you retain the copyright for the photos?
Most of my packages include a DVD with all the high resolution files and the rights. Its all in preference
Do you reserve the right to publish the photos?
Yes. Obviously we are very sensitive to our clients and wouldn't publish anything they didn't want us to.
Do you provide the digital files and/or negatives (or copies of the negatives) to the client?
Yes, absolutely!
Will images be available for viewing online?
Absolutely, it makes it very convenient for ordering re-prints and for relatives to get what they want.
What kind of albums do you offer?
Traditional (5x7, 8x10), flush mount collage style, and Coffee books/Story books.
