What primary photographic style do you identify with?
Contemporary, Photojournalism
What do your packages include?
Digital Files
Do you have liability insurance?
Yes
Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?
I began in weddings shooting all black & white film. And I still love it! Black & white film and hand-made fiber prints are completely timeless and make a priceless heirloom. Black & white film and prints can be added to any package, or can be the primary focus of the photography of your event.
Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
I love working with natural light, but every wedding is different, and a good photographer must be prepared for ANY lighting situation. I have experience shooting in just about every lighting situation you could image.
Is your media preference film or digital?
Digital and/or black & white film
How many photographers do you work with?
I include a second shooter in every package.

Yes!
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
I never book more than one wedding in a day, and prefer to shoot only one per weekend when possible.
Do you have a replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
I have an excellent network of fabulous local photographers who would be willing to help in case of emergency

Absolutely!

All of my packages include unlimited hours
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
The only time I find myself taking a break is during the meal, unless there is an extended amount of down-time during the course of the day.
