Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?
I do my own mix of sepia tone and we offer a fearlessness to getting the shot.
Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
I have been shooting for 16 years so I have seen it all. Each lighting situation has its' up sides. Direct light when used correctly can be ethereal. I do go to the wedding location before the day to check out any lighting issues.

No. I want to focus on my client.
Do you have a replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
Yes, things happen and I always want a plan B. When I was apprenticing as the wedding photographer I worked with, his back gave out in the middle of the reception. I knew I would always have a backup.
