Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?
When editing a shoot, I apply black and white conversions as I see fit. There are some images that are simply more beautiful in black and white. Couples hire me for my creative judgment in determine the final outcome of an image.
Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
Weddings are somewhat unique in that he lighting situation can vary from a dimly lit church to a sunny summer garden. My experience has taught me to handle all of the lighting challenges that do present themselves. I am equally adept in working with the natural sunlight coming through a bride's bedroom window as well as the artificial tungsten light of a reception hall.
Is your media preference film or digital?
I shoot primarily digital mainly for the convenience and flexibility. Wedding locations can provide a wide array of lighting situations, digital makes it easy to adjust to those situations on the fly.
How many photographers do you work with?
Normally it is myself and an assistant/2nd shooter.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Absolutely.

I do not. Photographing a wedding is an all day event. I am only available for one wedding per day.
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?
On the wedding day I'm typically carrying 3 camera bodies, a wide range of lenses, multiple flash units, any number of memory cards (usually about 30 gigs worth), portable studio lights for large group formals, external battery pack for my strobes so that I don't have to change batteries during important moments, emergency contact numbers, energy bars and good faith.
Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Always and absolutely.
Do you charge hourly or full day?
I charge based on the package selected.

Depending on my schedule and time of year, proofs are normally ready within 2-3 weeks.

The proofs are available online.
Do you retain the copyright for the photos?
Yes. However couples do have the right to print as many images and as often as they choose.

Yes I do. I reserve the right to use any image that I have taken for my own promotions on my website and in other promotional material.

Couples receive a DVD containing full-size, high resolutions from the wedding. All images are watermark free and ready for printing and/or only galleries.
