Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?
Black and white photography was my specialty in the film days, so I always have a space in my heart for sepia tone effects and other artistic techniques. Always to enhance an image, never to distract. I am an expert retoucher as well, please ask to see some before and after images.
Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
I am comfortable with softlight, candlelight, rainy-day light, you name it. Challenging situations provide an opportunity to show depth of experience.
Is your media preference film or digital?
I am digital.
How many photographers do you work with?
When necessary, an additional shooter is available.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
My life revolves around my client's weddings, you should see my fiancee trying to get me to even go out to dinner on the eve of a wedding. I have not been late to any of the 200+ weddings I have been responsible for.
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
I will sometimes book multiple weddings in a weekend, but never more than 1 a day (who does that? they crazy) :)
Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
yes.
How soon after the event are the proofs ready for viewing?
The week after your wedding, the images will be processed and posted both in an online slideshow and in the full service online ordering and proofing system. Many of my clients get to see their images while still on their honeymoon.
Do you provide the digital files and/or negatives (or copies of the negatives) to the client?
The digital high resolution negatives are available in a 2-disc DVD set.
What kind of albums do you offer?
Traditional and custom hand-designed magazine-style albums.
