Wedding Wire Rated 5.0 Photographer


WE ARE PASSIONATE

We find so much passion during our portrait settings. When you are given ample time with a family, couple, senior or bride who is looking their best that they have ever looked, wearing the best clothes they have ever worn, their is an inspiration as an artist to create something different and unique for them. Our ideal client is one who is open to our creative side and loves every idea we offer, and is open to anything at the drop of a dime. And that expects something more from us than we have ever given to anyone else. These are the clients that drive us to be artists!

WE ARE INSPIRED

We love to travel with any spare time that we have. Chasity is quite familiar with the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. We are also approaching our summer season here and this means Senior Photos and Summer Weddings. Although budgets may be tight, the quality of your photos does not have to break your budget. We are still offering location shoots for a reasonable fee along with our Blockbuster package deals.

WE ARE ARTISTS

We offer hundereds of products from two of our labs. Our favorite is The Wedding Book© from Graphi Studios. A handbound Italian wedding leather album shipped directly from Italy. Beautiful craftsmanship andquality. We also offer 2.5" Gallery wraps from Millers along with their custom and reknowned bundle wallet pricing deals. These products give out studio a unique feeling and the products do speak and sell themselves alone.

WE ARE DIFFERENT

Our style is described as "different" to say the least. Every person we work with is unique, and every shot we take is different from the last. We have developed a dramatic look and a fun-colorful side that not only Seniors love but many local business' love as well. We put pur hearts and souls into our projects and enjoy creating every new one. We love a challenge of aritisic quality and enjoy pushing ourselves to create that magical image or pricless albums for a family.

WE ARE PHOTOS BY HUFF

Our Lab is MILLERS PROFESSIONAL IMAGAING... simply because we expect more from a lab and they deliver. With expedited turn around times and great customer service.

Our Lab is GRAPHI STUDIOS OF ITALY......because when choosing an heirloom or a wedding album it is quality that will last a lifetime. And with a lifetime guarentee on the book, we could not go wrong.

Endorsements
Where to begin with Photos By Huff... hmmm.... let's see. For those of you who are on a tight budget I highly recommend using their services. Not only do they have an incredible turnaround time for their proofing, but they also spend quality time building your package to fit your budget. You can take a standard package and add to it or minus items you do not need. They work for you and their photos prove this. i have never seen a better team work together and I highly recommend them to any newly engaged couples or couples that are renewing their vows. Classy yet slightly edgy, Chasity brings the forefront of digital photography full force. With a raw cutting egde style, she is sure to capture each and every spectacular moment that you desire. From the fairy tale weddings to the Black and Red Gothic themes, Chasity can capture each memory and make it unique. That is what seperates her from other photographers, she is versatile. She has a great personality and was trained in the theatre arts growing up. She has a background in photography as well. From casual poses to the uberlite goth quarums they shoot anyone and everyone and trust me they have a blast doing their jobs.

Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
I love Soft Light which is my favorite. However, overcast and natural lighting are great when taken with the right filters on your barn door sand filters to block out shadows. We can create for you one of the best pictures you have ever seen.
 
Is your media preference film or digital?
DIGITAL
 
How many photographers do you work with?
One, only my husband. My husband owns both companies and we are employed together. I normally choreograph the sets and he will shoot right along with me. You never know when you may miss the opprtunity to have a great shot and having another person on hand to shoot along with you is always a good idea.
 
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Yes. When you sign a VALID contract with us you will not be subcontracting anyone else. The only two people attedning your event would be my husband and I.
 
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
NEVER.....this is a photography sin in my book. Very bad business ethics in my opinion if you do this.
 
Do you have a replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
YES, we always travel together and my husband and I will show up. Even if I am sick, I will show up and tough it out.
 
What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
Weddings.... Sony DSLR Cameras with 3 or 4 lenses, Optional extra flahs attachments, extra batteries for cameras, battery chargers, tripod stands, soft lighting for family and bridal portraits, buffers and screens for outdoor photos, extension cords, plugs, wires, adapters, and as always A SMILE ON OUR FACE!
 
Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Yes, this is a sin not to. We always carry extra equipment. I had a camera malfunction during a Christmas shoot and went right to the backup and kept going. Comes to find out it was a loading error on my part. However, I did not have time to spend dealing with the camera...I had to keep shooting. So I am thankful we always carry 3 or 4 backups.
 
Do you charge hourly or full day?
Full Day (however, if needed we can charge by the hour)
 
Are you available to shoot extra hours? If yes, how much do you charge for extra hours?
$50.00-$100.00

We only take quick bathroom breaks every two hours or so and regardless of this....someone will always be shooting while the other is in the bathroom. One break every two hours for less than 5 minutes.
 
Do you charge for travel?
Yes, if out of the Polk County area.
 
How soon after the event are the proofs ready for viewing?
Within a week. We try to have them up for proofing within 24-48 hours. However, depending on the number of photos we generally tell everyone a week.
 
In what format are the initial proofs offered?
(1) Online proofing (2) Digital CD (Copy Rights reserved until purchased) (3) CD Proofing Book (4) 4x6 Proofs
 
How long can the client keep the proofs?

Tips and Advice
I am amazed at how many people go looking for the right photographer and have no clue what you are looking for.  Looking for a photographer should be like looking for a DIAMOND.  (Cut, Color, Clarity, etc.)  To find the right Photographer you need to remember the 3 "P's". (1) Professionalism ~ Did they offer you everything you wanted, did they offer you a contract.  Did they explain the contract and it's terms and did they explain about the copy right for their state?  (2) Products ~ were the products available and on hand for you to view.  Were the products what you were looking for?  Was Photographer able to order additional samples if necessary? (3) If the price of the products a good deal? Have you compared pricing for photographers against each other?  Have you asked about hidden fees (i.e. traveling expenses, shipping and handling, models, props, etc.) 

So many people get wrapped into signing a contract without examining their options.  We have a basic contract with everything explained and laid out.  We will provide an estimate with detailed explanation of all charges and will never alter or charge another dime to your account with your written consent on a new estimate sheet.  We will never order products that you did not authorize nor will we sell your photos to any company for profit.  We respect your privacy and value you as a client.
