Photographers Frequently Asked Questions

Are you the person who will be taking my wedding pictures?

Yes, I will always be the person taking your pictures.   I don't hire other photographers to cover dates for me.   I will often bring an assistant to help transport equipment and do some set up work, but I will always be taking your wedding photographs.

Are you primarily a wedding photographer or do you focus on differnt types of photography?

95% of my photography business is weddings ! I used to be a photojournalist for a newspaper and accept editorial work for a few magazines. In the past 5 years , I've photographed almost only weddings ! I feel that it's a huge advantage to my brides to have a photographer that specializes in weddings since wedding photography has unique characteristics that make it different from any other type of photography. Having a photographer who is completely comfortable shooting weddings leads to a more relaxed day for the bride and groom!

CAMERAS AND IMAGE QUALITY

What kind of Camera's do you have?    How high is the image quality?   Do you carry back up equipment?
I shoot with a Canon 20D   (8.2 Mega-pixels and a large digital back).    The high resolution images can be enlarged to 24 by 30 inches perfectly (absolutely no distortion or loss of image quality).     I also have professional Canon cameras for my negative equipment.    I ALWAYS have backup equipment with me. Generally, I'll be carrying 3 sets of camera's and lenses to your wedding.  

Are the images that come on CD High Resolution?   Can I print from them?
Yes - the images are High Resolution images.    You can print from your CD.

Do you re-touch photographs?
I retouch at no extra charge!

Do you use studio lighting or just a flash?
I bring a studio lighting set-up to your wedding to photograph group shots and to get some effects that you can't get with on camera flash.  These lights are used mostly for the largest group shots when a camera flash isn’t sufficient.        

ON THE WEDDING DAY:
Do you check out the location beforehand?
Yes ! I will be at your wedding location between 30 minutes and an hour early to check everything out , meet your families, and find the best spots for some formal photographs.


Does the time spent driving to my reception or taking a break during the reception count against my photography time?
No. Driving time to the reception and the break during reception while guests are doing dinner does not count against your photography time! For example , a 5 hour shoot might mean we shoot from Noon - 6 p.m. if you have a small drive and dinner break.

BOOKING AND PAYMENTS
How much is your deposit?   Then what do I owe and when?  
It is $500 to secure a date (this can be made in 2 payments). 

Your balance is due the day of your event.    I'm very flexible with contract details - we will customize any contract so that you are comfortable.    The contracts are very simple ( just your shoot details, times, and place ) and can be emailed out to clients. .      

Are you able to take last minute bookings?
I try to accomodate last minute bookings . However , I do take on a limited number of wedding per year ( 35-40 events ).

REFERRALS FOR OTHER VENDORS:
Do you refer other vendors if I need a:  videographer, officiant, DJ, florist ect. ?
Yes, I have worked with hundreds of talented wedding professionals and can often help you find another pro at no extra charge.      

How much do vendor referrals cost?   
They are Free.       

ART PRINTS

My friend says that she got some art prints from you that she had never seen before in wedding photography before.    What kinds of alternative processes and prints are you doing?    

As well as documenting your wedding with digital cameras and film camera's with portrait film, I also used slide film and high speed film.     Slide film enables me to make a Polaroid transfer print.   The result is a see-through "floating" image on watercolor paper or plexi-glass.    You see these in museums and high-end art galleries and they look incredible on your wall (great conversation pieces).    

I also use high speed film which allows me to print grainy, high contrast prints, and shoot using all natural light indoors (since the speed is high, no flash is needed). 

You let me know ahead of time if you would like either of these.    The alternative processes are not meant to be the majority of your album   (generally just 1-3 rolls taken).   They just enhance the images already there by adding something different.      

How did you get into photography?   
I've have loved it forever!     I've known since I was a teen-ager that it's what I wanted to do and I can't imagine doing anything else!   I have a news and magazine photography background, but my work now is mostly weddings!
