I never book more than one wedding per day. Occasionally we will book two weddings in one weekend but it is rare.

A substitute photographer of high qualifications will be dispatched by Janice Trowbridge Photography to photograph your wedding in the event of an unexpected illness. However, I will still do all of the editing and album design.

I prefer Canon camera bodies and lenses. I bring 4 camera bodies and 6 to 8 different lenses to cover every situation. I also bring Quantum Qflashes and battery packs for superior lighting quality.

We usually don't take scheduled breaks during the day. We go with the flow of the wedding so we don't miss a thing.

We do not charge for travel within 50 miles of Cypress, CA. If your wedding is farther than that, you will pay for the travel expenses (airfare, hotel, gas or whatever the travel entails).

Forever

I will be the copyright holder. However, you will get full use rights to all of the images which means you may print, upload, or share the images as you choose to.

I use Renaissance Albums but am open to using other album companies if you have a certain type you really like.

Once I have your image choices, I design the album, post it online and send you a printed copy so you can approve the final design. The album company usually takes around 12 weeks to build the album. It may take a little longer during busy holiday seasons.

Additional Questions and Answers
How much of a retainer do you need to hold my date?

The retainer is $300 to hold your date. The deposit does go towards the cost of your package. It is non-refundable.

How long will the prices on my price sheet be valid?

All prices quoted at the time of booking are valid for 3 months after your wedding. Orders placed after this period are billed at the studio’s current pricing.

What if the packages don’t fit my needs?

Then we can build a custom package including exactly what you want. Or, you can take items out of any package and deduct the price from your package. Albums and proofs can’t be removed from a package.

Are the albums archival?

Yes they are. All pages of the album are printed on archival photographic paper which is run through traditional chemistry. The images are then sprayed for additional protection. There will not be image fading. And, the covers are guaranteed by the album company.

Tips and Advice
1. The most important tip I could give a bride and groom is to have fun at your wedding.  You have spend a lot of time planning your big day so enjoy it!  Your wedding pictures will be much more beautiful if we can see the love and joy on your face.

2.  Suggested guide for timeline:
      1 to 1 1/2 hours for getting ready
      30 minutes for bride, bridesmaids, and bride's family photos
      30 minutes for groom, groomsmen, and groom's family photos
      1 hour for ceremony (allow for more time if your ceremony is over 30 minutes)
      30 minutes for group shots
      15 minutes for bride and groom alone
      3 to 4 hours for reception

3.  Assign a friend or family member to assist photographers during the group shots.  Someone who knows the families will be able to keep people together to make sure the groups shots run smoothly.
