Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?
Color is definitely a must, and I couldn't pass up handing out black and white copies as well. Selective color and textured images, along with general digital enhancements.
Is your media preference film or digital?
As much as I love the textures and colors of film, not to mention the sounds of a 35mm shutter...I shoot all my professional images digitally.
How many photographers do you work with?
While I do provide the option, and packages with assistants/second shooters, you always will have at least me.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
I do. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
Never on the same day, but two over a weekend, isn't out of the ordinary.
Do you have a replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
Yes. There will always be an available photographer to cover your wedding, in the event that I'm not able to attend.
