Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?
A few, but great photographs shouldn't need over the top 'enhancements' to stand out. It's all about the moments you may not even be aware of...
Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
Any and all-after being a full time pro for over 10 years, there is no lighting situation we can't handle.
Is your media preference film or digital?
Digital, although I have many years of experience with fine art film and darkroom work.
How many photographers do you work with?
My wife and I-we do not use associate photographers. If you hire us, you get us!
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Most definitely! If I die before your wedding date, you get a refund. Yes, someone asked...
We maintain a list of equally skilled and experienced photographers in case of an emergency as well.
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
We cover one wedding per weekend so that our clients receive our undivided attention.
Do you have a replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
Of course! We purchased a couple on Ebay.
What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
Picture taking stuff. You know-the professional kind.
Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Yes. No, Uncle Bob can't play with it. Sorry...
Do you charge hourly or full day?
Hourly packages are available, although we are more than happy to work with you in designing a custom package which suits your desires.
Are you available to shoot extra hours? If yes, how much do you charge for extra hours?
A pittance. Quite a bargain, really. Seriously, the rate varies according to season and location.
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
One, for refueling also known as eating. Restroom breaks are also appreciated, although we won't bother you by raising our hands and asking if we may be excused.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included for events in the Tampa Bay area. Travel to other areas are quoted on an individual basis, and our passports are current.
How soon after the event are the proofs ready for viewing?
Your web gallery will usually be available for viewing within two weeks of your event.
In what format are the initial proofs offered?
We currently offer proofing catalogs, but may substitute other mediums such as first edition 4x6 prints or a disc if you prefer.
How long can the client keep the proofs?
All materials included in our packages are yours to keep. Well, except for us. We are lovable, but we have to go home sometime...
Do you retain the copyright for the photos?
A personal use release is furnished along with your high resolution files.
Do you reserve the right to publish the photos?
For promotional use, yes.
Do you provide the digital files and/or negatives (or copies of the negatives) to the client?
Yes
Will images be available for viewing online?
Most definitely, along with on line ordering.
What kind of albums do you offer?
Custom designed coffee table books.
