Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?
I have a formula, like a chef's recepe developed over the last 20 years that is a combination of the right film, filters, exposure, and developing that makes skin tones flawless. AS an added backup security I shoot p80% film and 20% digital. Film files are converted to digital files and the client gets the archival storage insurance of BOTH negatives AND digital files! it's the best of both words!! Film has a true, rich quality digital cannot reproduce! (For more info see: "Film Vs. Digital" on my website at: http://www.eephoto.com/index.php/F.A.Q.-s/20080115128/Frequently-Asked-Questions/FILM-vs.DIGITAL-what-s-the-difference.html
Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
All lighting situaitons wil work fe for me. I have even shot in the rain!!! (my assistants and I bought umbrellas at 3am the night before) for the entire wedding party since they didn't plan for rain and turned a potentially disasterous situation into something fun and cute and saved the day! (think: "Mary Poppins", "Singing in the Rain" etc..).
Is your media preference film or digital?

How many photographers do you work with?
Because people pay ME for my famous, trademark style I am always the primary photographer. I shoot 95% of the wedding. My assistants are there by my side to simply pass me the next cameras, load and unload batteries, film, filters & digital cards. The ONLY exception is the ceremony and sometimes during cocktail hour when we want to have two points of view and gain as many precious moments as possble n the short time we have.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
YES! of course!!
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
NEVER! I shot oly one weddiing a weekend. there is no possible way a phtoographer can shoot more than one and give it their ALL. Shooting a weddiingt the right way takes a tremendous amoutn of physical, mental and meotional energy. TYose that shoot more than one a wekend are curing corners somewhere to make an extra buck and that's dangerous!! I won't sacrifice my quality for that! It's not worth loosing my hard-earned reputation as the best wedding photographer in Los Angeles! YOu get what you pay for!
Do you have a replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
Yes I have one of my top favorite assistants who was trained exclusivbley by me and shoots all her own weddings now as well. In 20 years I've NEVER had to use her, never been sick or had an emenrgency where I could not shoot a weddiing..(knock on wood!). I take every siingle precaution to ensure I am in the best physical,mental and emotional state the week before a wedding. I eat right, exercise and meditate. I am totally focused and present.
What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
EVERYTHING! I have 5 cameras, (2 digital and 3 film) numerous lenses, filters, flashes and anything else i "might" need just in case. It's stored neatly in a compact "camera backback" my assistants wear.
Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
yes see the previous question. My philosphy is better to ae it and not need it than need it and not ahve it! Equipment is cheap ii comparison to the memories one would loose if it malfunctioned. We shoot and store backups of everything!
