Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?
When you get a set of images from me, you can be sure that every single image has been closely inspected, and edited by me. I don't batch process like 90% of other photographers out there. Every image is truly unique to me.
Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
I have experience with both natural light as well as professional studio lights. No matter how much money you invest, you can't duplicate Nature. This is why I prefer to use the natural light as much as possible.
Is your media preference film or digital?
I shoot all digital
How many photographers do you work with?
I am the primary photographer. I also have a second photographer who can also shoot depending on your needs.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Yes, unless I am in the hospital... or any acts of God (fire, flood, lighting, etc) physically prevents me from being there.
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
Nope. I believe that a wedding is a very important and sacred event. The entire day should be given to a client to ensure the best possible images can come out of it. Even if a wedding is not until the late evening, I can use that time in the morning to make sure everything is prepared, plan shots, and not get tired from a prior engagement.
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?
A typical kit will include 2 Canon 5D mark 2's, several L grade lenses, flashes, memory cards, and enough battery to power a mini air craft. Depending on what's needed for each wedding, more or less equipment will usually be brought.
Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Absolutely

Do you charge for travel?

Do you retain the copyright for the photos?
Yes, all photos are copyrighted to me. However, once you purchase a cd of images with your package, you can distribute them to friends and family AND print them yourself.
Do you reserve the right to publish the photos?
Yes. A written permission is required from me before any image is published.
Do you provide the digital files and/or negatives (or copies of the negatives) to the client?
Final images are in High Resolution on a cd/dvd.
Will images be available for viewing online?

What kind of albums do you offer?
