How do you
identify your primary photographic style?
Creative. I’m very involved with my photographs and my clients. I like to create and concept images that reflect their personalities and best features. This definition describes my style perfectly: "Creative: Photographers place the subjects in certain settings to take advantage of good lighting or beautiful backgrounds. Once the scene is set, the couple and their party are free to be themselves, resulting in a more spontaneous feel. Unlike the photojournalism style, creative photography takes advantage of the photographer's artistic judgment rather than simply capturing a series of moments." |
How many
photographers do you work with?
I work with at least one other photographer on every photo session. For weddings I have 2 supporting photographers. |
Do you
guarantee your presence at the actual event?
When my clients book a wedding with Kelly Is Nice Photography they are booking me, not my assistants. The only reason I would not be at a wedding would be if God prevented it. If that's ever the case my competent assistants would cover the event but I would still do the post production work. |
Do you
sometimes book yourself for more than one wedding in a day?
I book a limited number of weddings and portraits per month to ensure quality in my work - never more than one in a weekend. |
What kind of
equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
I shoot with a range of professional quality Canon cameras and lenses. |
Do you bring
back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Yes. |
Do you require
a meal break? If yes, do you require that the wedding party
provide your meal?
I have never required any of my clients to give me a meal break, but I have never had any clients not allow me to take one. My assistants and I are human and need food to survive. There is always time during the receptions for us to fix a plate. |
How many breaks
do you usually take throughout the day?
We never schedule breaks. We just try to relax whenever we can. |
Do you charge
for travel?
We are available for travel and there is an additional charge to cover travel expenses. |
How soon after
the event are the proofs ready for viewing?
Clients only have to wait 2 weeks. The first thing they will see is a slideshow of the album I have custom designed for them. It is immediately followed by a slideshow of pictures of their wedding day set to the song of their choice. Once the design is approved the album is ordered and arrives in about 6-8 weeks. |
Do you retain
the copyright for the photos?
I do retain the copyright for all the images taken at the event. My clients are given a "Reproduction Release" with their High Resolution CD allowing them to get prints and photo products made at any photo lab they choose. Costco is great!
|
Do you provide
the digital files and/or negatives (or copies of the
negatives) to the couple?
All events come with a High Resolution CD of all of the edited images from the event. Clients can get it 2 weeks after their event, and it's theirs to keep forever. |
Will images be
available for viewing on an online gallery?
All of my events are posted on Pictage. Pictage is a company that hosts events for photographers. Clients will have their own site showcasing all of the edited images from their event. All of their friends and family can view and order archival prints directly through the website. |
What kind of
albums do you offer?
The "Wedding Albums" are Cornerstone albums. They are beautiful flush mounted coffee table books that come in a variety of sizes. I custom design each page of the album in Photoshop making each album unique. We also offer several different proofing albums. The 7x7 Willowbook is my favorite. It's a hard bound book containing all of the edited images from your event. Each page only has one image so the pictures are big and easy to view. We also offer an Album Guestbook. It's a 7x7 hard bound book with 50 images from your engagement session, divided by guest "sign-in" pages. It's a client favorite. |
When will I get
the final book?
The final design of the Cornerstone album is presented 2 weeks after the wedding. Once the album is ordered it takes 6-8 weeks to arrive. |
