You name it...
Is your media preference film or digital?
Digital photography is far superior in terms of flexibility, speed, cost, and quantity. Most will say that digital is even superior in its quality.
How many photographers do you work with?
I have a handful of great photographers in and around San Diego I can depend on.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Yes. If something disastrous happens, I will make certain to have a backup photographer that you can trust will do a good job for you.
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
We never book more than one wedding a day and very rarely take on more than one in a weekend.
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?
I shoot on Canon professional gear. All digital.
Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
I always have at least 3 cameras at every wedding.
Do you charge hourly or full day?
Our packages allow for a certain number of hours, but we're also very flexible and can make a package to suit your exact needs.
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
Virtually, none. The biggest breaks we get are the time to drive from one location to the next, and time required to eat. Even then, we're usually still looking for ways to serve our couples.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not charge for travel within the San Diego area. Very reasonable rates apply worldwide.
How soon after the event are the proofs ready for viewing?
We typically have proofs online for you within 1-3 weeks.
In what format are the initial proofs offered?
Proofs are all online and accessible from any computer on the internet. Depending on the package, digital negatives are also included.
Do you retain the copyright for the photos?
Yes, but we also provide print releases to those receiving digital negatives
Do you reserve the right to publish the photos?
Yes. We do, however, always ask our couples permission - just out of respect.
Do you provide the digital files and/or negatives (or copies of the negatives) to the client?
Yes, depending on the package.
Will images be available for viewing online?
Yes.
What kind of albums do you offer?
We offer leather flushmount and coffeetable style books. Other albums will soon be offered as well.
When will the client get the final album?
Once the decisions have been made for the album, and a couple approves it, the book will generally be in their hands within 3 weeks.
