Question 1

What’s included in your wedding photography/videography packages?

Accepted Answer

Our packages vary, but they typically include pre-wedding consultation, coverage hours, edited photos/videos, and an online gallery.

Question 2

How do we book, and what’s your payment policy?

Accepted Answer

A signed contract and a 50% retainer secure your date. The remaining balance is due on or before the wedding date.

Question 3

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

We typically get bookings anywhere from 6-18 months, but I still may have last-minute dates available, so I encourage people to ask anyway!

Question 4

How do you take payment?

Accepted Answer

We  accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards. (Credit and debit payment require a 3% fee.) We also accept mobile payment methods like Venmo and Zelle.

Question 5

Do you charge a travel fee?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if the total travel distance exceeds 40 miles, a standard per-mile travel fee is applied.

Question 6

How long does editing take?

Accepted Answer

It depends, but photo session edits (engagements, family shoots, etc) are usually done within 2 weeks, while wedding photos and videos typically take 8 weeks.

Question 7

Do you retouch photos, when editing?

Accepted Answer

For portraits, we  correct uneven skin, blemishes, stray hair, and distracting elements, if possible. However, we don’t prioritize making body-shape adjustments.

Question 8

Can I get the ‘raw’ footage or files, in addition to the edited images?

Accepted Answer

We don’t deliver unedited photos, but do offer ‘raw’ video options, for events like weddings.
