Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?
I have an all digital workflow. Your images can be toned and retouched to reveal the best in the photograph.
Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
All
Is your media preference film or digital?
I shoot digitally these days and prefer it to film. However, that's not so say we can't work something out to have me shoot film for your wedding if you prefer.
How many photographers do you work with?
I work by myself or with one other experienced second shooter, depending on the wedding and my couple's desires.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Yes. In cases of an emergency I do reserve the right to make a substitution. However, I look forward to photographing all my couples myself.
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
Never.
Do you have a replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
Yes.
What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
I shoot with pro Nikon digital gear.
Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Always!
Do you charge hourly or full day?
My packages can be custom tailored to meet your needs.
Are you available to shoot extra hours? If yes, how much do you charge for extra hours?
Yes, I'm available for shooting overtime if you should need me to stay later at the reception.
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
I don't take any breaks during the day. Once I meet with you on the morning of your wedding I shoot continuously to document your day until your reception dinner where I take a few minutes to rest and eat.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel expenses are negotiable. I love to travel. Please ask and we can make arrangements.
How soon after the event are the proofs ready for viewing?
Generally I am able to edit your wedding and post the event online in 2-3 weeks. However, my favorites from your day are posted on my blog within a week.

I provide online website proofing as well as bound proofing products.

If you choose to include a proof book in your package, it is yours to keep.

Jeff LaPlante Photography maintains the copyrights to all photographs.
Do you reserve the right to publish the photos?
Yes, this is outlined in my contract.

On your anniversary I offer my couples a DVD of their high resolution images as an anniversary gift. You need only email or call me with your current address and I'll mail it out.
Will images be available for viewing online?
Yes.
What kind of albums do you offer?
