My Five Most Frequently Asked Questions

1.  How many images can I expect to see from my wedding?
 
Answer:  600+ images.  But there's more to consider...

There are three major things that will affect how many images I get from your wedding and am able to give to you: How many people are in attendance at your wedding?  How long do you have me?  How many photographers did you hire?









I don't actually have a cap on how many pictures I shoot during your wedding.  I'll take as many as I can during the wedding and catch all of your beautiful moments.  Once back in my studio and processing your pictures, I will see how many good quality images I've taken.  And if you hire me with a second photographer, I will have a lot more images to look over.  Once I've looked through everything, if I think there are more than 600 images that look great, I'll give you all of them!

2.  Are the images edited, and if so, how much?

Answer:  Yes, but here's how I do it...

There are three main components to my editing style: color calibration, cropping, and minor blemish control on the bride and groom only.

My goal as a photographer is to shoot everything right the first time, and make the images as perfect as possible in the camera.  And it's very important to me that I give you images that look like you.

3.  Do I have copyright release for the images? 

Answer:  Yes, but there's more to it than that...

You don't actually own full copyright, I do.  However, you have full permission to use the images for printing and for sharing on social media.  So share with your friends and family!

4.  How long will you spend with us on our wedding day and before? 

Answer:  Depends on the package you choose, and I'll help you make the right choice...

Every package you buy with me comes with an initial consultation with me.  This is when you officially book me for your wedding and we go over the plans for your big day.  You will also meet up with me for a pre-wedding consultation just 2-3 weeks before your wedding day.  We'll finalize the schedule, the wedding timeline, and any details we need to cover to be sure you've booked me for the right amount of time.  I work hard in the planning stage to be sure no one ever feels short on time on their wedding day, so no one needs to ask for additional hours the day of.

And on the day of, we've already talked about everything and you're ready to enjoy your wedding day.  I'll show up about 30 minutes before the wedding starts to be sure I'm ready when everything gets underway.

5.  What happens if you're sick on my wedding day? 

Answer:  I'll have to have one foot in the grave to miss a wedding, but...

I will always be at your wedding, unless I'm on my deathbed.  However, if an absolutely unavoidable emergency arises, I have a strong network of photographers I can call upon.  These are people that I trust that could replace me on your wedding day shoot.  But even if I have someone else shoot your wedding day, I will personally review, edit, and prepare all of your wedding photos.
