Do you have insurance?

Yes! Up to a million dollars in liability insurance!  We are happy to send over a COI of insurance if your venue requires one!

Do you have backup equipment?

Yes, we carry backup at all times, camera bodies, lenses, and flashes.

Can we have the raw photos?

While we understand the question, this is like going to a restaurant and asking for a raw chicken.  It isn’t finished!  While we do shoot in raw format, we put the finishing touches on all the photos you receive, so that everything looks beautiful and cohesive when you receive the final edit.

How long will the web gallery be available?

For 18 months after your wedding date.

What are our rights to the images?

You are allowed to print away, make T-shirts and mugs for yourselves to your heart's delight.  The only thing that is restricted is commercial usage.

How many weddings do you photograph a year?

Maximum of 15

Who is your second photographer?  

We have a small team of professional photographers that we work with, who have all been trained in our style and will be there for you on your day.

What happens if the photographer is ill or cannot shoot our wedding?

As we have a team of photographers that we work with, we can always guarantee that someone will be able to cover your wedding in the case of an emergency.

Can my family members take pictures? Can I hire my own additional photographer?

We ask that you do not have other photographers during your wedding day, as it can impede us from getting the shots we know you will want and love forever.

How do we book?

50% deposit and a signed contract to hold the date.

When can we schedule our engagement session?

Engagement sessions take place in the Spring through fall and are scheduled Monday-Friday, as we are typically shooting weddings on the weekend.

How long does it take to get the album?

Once you approve the final design, the album should take 4-6 weeks for both the fine art album and the digital press album.

Can we see a full gallery?

Absolutely, just let us know, and we can send you over a link!

How do you structure the day?

We typically start 2 to 3 hours before your ceremony.  This means that we can cover getting ready images of both the bride and the groom, as well as do a first look and a portrait session before the ceremony, and have some time for just the two of you before your celebration.  This also ensures that you will not miss your amazing cocktail hour.  

After the ceremony, we typically do formal family portraits.  Before the wedding day, you will have already completed our questionnaire which will include a family shot list that you will make with your future husband/wife.  That way, when the time comes for photos, we can read down the list, and take no more than 30 minutes.  We also ask that you assign someone from each side of your family to help wrangle the guests in said photo list to make sure everyone is present and accounted for when we call their names.

From this point on, it’s eat, drink, and be merry, and we will be there with you every step of the way, documenting the important moments as they happen.  We may also pull you aside for 5 minutes should we want to get a nice sunset/magic hour photo of you before the light fades into party time!  Also note, we are happy to accommodate any impromptu photo requests at any point during the event.

Dance dance dance!  We love party shots, so make sure to show us what you got.  We will be there with bells on!

What is included in the 8-hour coverage? Does that include getting ready pics?

Yep! This covers getting ready, first look,  portraits, through a good portion of your reception. Just make sure to schedule any special events to happen before we leave, such as cake cutting!

If we want to add more time at the event, can we do this?

Yes, we will just invoice you after the event.

When do you typically start on the wedding day?

We typically start 2-3 hours before the ceremony, unless otherwise noted.  Time starts at the first location whatever that location or locations may be for the next 8 hours.

Do you pre-scout for the wedding day?

Depends on the location and if time allows.

What Should We Wear for the Engagement Session?

Engagement photos are meant to be a fun carefree day, where you get to have professional photos of you and your love.  That means you get to choose everything from where to when to how you want to dress! We like to think of it as dressing up for date night.  We are open to what makes you feel good!  The idea is for you to feel and look your best, and enjoy yourself, and have beautiful photos for years to remember.  Some clients like to go with a more formal look, while others like to go with a more casual look, keep in mind that you should both be formal or casual to compliment each other.  Make sure to talk to each other about what you are going to wear so that everything looks good together.  Stand next to each other in the mirror and see if anything is clashing. Choose colors that look nice together, and if one is wearing a pattern, maybe the other person wears a solid to keep it simple.  I also suggest a pop of color, as it looks great in photos!  Another tip is to bring some backup flats if you plan on wearing heels, so your feet don’t get tired!   The last thing is please pack light!  We don’t want photos of you carrying around, bags and coats, etc, so I always suggest bringing just the essentials: phone, keys, and wallet, and I can carry those for you.  If you love getting your hair and makeup done, go for it, what better time to do so, and remember to just have fun!
