Additional Questions and Answers
How do we get started? Call or e-mail us and we will set up an appointment. We will show you our work and answer any questions that you may have. If you are ready to move forward at that point we will go over our wedding agreement and ask for a retainer to save the date. How much is the retainer? We ask for 50% of the total package to hold the date. The remainder is due 7 days before the wedding. However we are flexible. If you need to make a different arrangement with us feel free to contact us about it. Is the retainer refundable? No. We book weddings several months and even years in advance. If we do not have time to re-book the canceled date, than we have potentially turned down other clients and lost the full amount of the package price. However, we try to be fair, and the more time you give us to re-book the date, then the chances of getting your retainer refunded is greater. What can we expect after the wedding? We edit each image with care to provide the best collection of photographs that we can. Due to our attention to detail and multiple events, you can expect a preview album back in about 4-6 weeks. At the same time we will give you a password, so that you and your family and friends can view the images on our website. Then you pick out your enlargements and if you purchased an album we go over that with you as well.
