Is your media preference film or digital?
I am 100% digital which allows for more shots and faster proofing for the bride and groom.
How many photographers do you work with?
1 to 5 depending on the size of the event.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
It wouldn't be Jason Honea Photography without me.
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
I don't believe it is proper to do more than one wedding a week. Capturing this type of art takes skill, patience, and rest. Shooting a wedding is a major workout.
Do you have a replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
I have a network of people in which we are prepared to step up to the plate if the worst should happen.
Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
I bring back-up equipment for my back-up equipment! I could not imagine how it would feel if something went wrong on one of the most important day of someones life. It would be devestating.
Do you charge hourly or full day?
I have a wide range of packages that start with an hourly shoot and turn rate up to full event coverage.
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
I do not take pictures while guest are eating so that might be considered a break.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel and accomidations outside the DFW metroplex must be paid for by the client and is usually factored into the contract.

In most cases the initial proofs are ready for viewing 3 days after the wedding. The DVD slideshow is available the week after the wedding. THe wedding album is available 2 to 3 weeks after the wedding.
In what format are the initial proofs offered?
