How soon after the event are the proofs ready for viewing?
Depends on the time of year. In the spring when the weddings are just getting started, turn around time is about 3-4 weeks. In the fall, the weddings have been in full swing, and the mountain of work grows exponentially, it takes longer to process the thousands of images that accumulate with all the work generated.
In what format are the initial proofs offered?
Variety of choices: 4x6 proofs, 11x15 proof magazine, on DVD playable on your TV, on line viewing and ordering.

Permanently

Yes, but am offering a DVD with license to print if that is a choice a client wants.
Do you reserve the right to publish the photos?
Yes
Do you provide the digital files and/or negatives (or copies of the negatives) to the client?
Yes, Free if they meet certain criteria, or they may purchase a DVD with a license to print.
Will images be available for viewing online?
If that is a choice the client wants.
What kind of albums do you offer?
I sell only Renaissance albums because I love the quality, lifetime guarantee, and stylish elegance of this line of albums.
When will the client get the final album?
This depends on when the couple comes to the studio to design it with me. Some couples come right away, and others have taken 2-3 years to make that appointment because of living out of state and the time and travel constraints. Some design it with me through email communications. It all depends on the client. I will not design their final album without their input.
