Frequently Asked Questions for Photography
Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?
I am very meticulous in my post production techniques. I sort through every single photo and correct for contrast, color, and lighting. I also use discretion to enhance many photos in Photoshop using B/W, Sepia, and a variety of artistic effects.
 
Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
I have experience with a variety of lighting situations such as low light, candle light, direct sunlight, overcast and cloudy outdoor light. My preference is always to use the natural light, but I do use flash when the natural light is not sufficient.
 
Is your media preference film or digital?
Digital!
 
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
I only book 1 wedding per day.

Tips and Advice
Want to make your Wedding more "Green"?  Here’s some helpful links and advice to do so:

wedding dress and attire
the easiest an most eco-friendly choice is to re-use a gown already worn. buying vintage, renting, or wearing your mother’s dress is a great way to be environmentally friendly and can be cost conscious, too. or, purchase a once-worn or sample gown from
Brides Against Breast Cancer which donates the proceeds to help women with breast cancer. if having a new dress is important to you, consider earth friendly fabrics such as hemp, organic cotton, linen, tencel and silk Check out the options for wedding gowns in natural and eco friendly fabrics at: Conscious Clothing

invitations

flowers
choosing a florist where organically grown, in-season, local flowers are used can be a much better earth friendly choice. this will remove the need for long-distance transportation.

centerpieces
table decor can take the form of small perenials or baby bushes that can later by planted by your guests. or if you’d prefer a vessel for the center of your table to hold sea shells or colorful rocks, consider vases made from recycled glass or a bamboo bowl, due to renewable tendencies.

favors
