Ready to move forward?! I'm so there with you! To make everything official and lock-down your wedding date/shoot date, you will have to pay your 25% retainer and sign a contract.
What are the next steps if we want to move forward?
Wouldn't step out the door without it! Some venues do require all vendors to have insurance. If this is something you need I got you.
Do you have insurance?
Probably the most asked question, and truly no one is that awkward. It's all in your head, I promise! However, I got your back with a few tips and tricks that will make the experience for you so easy and fun.
We are so akward in fornt of the camera! WIll you help us?!
Every couple/session will receive a link to a custom online gallery were you will be able to do a digital download of all your images. You will also have the opportunity to share your album with friends and family, post to social media and make prints directly.
How will my photos be delivered?
Within a week you will receive your sneak peek image preview/gallery. Typically it takes at least 6 to 8 weeks for a full gallery turnaround. Keep in ind all my packages are ALL INCLUSIVE, gallery delivery might take longer than expected because I am hand editing each one and delivering to you well over 100 images per hour of the wedding day.
How long does it take to get our photos?
Is that a real question? I love to travel. I am based in San Diego, but travel worldwide. All weddings outside SoCal will receive custom quotes depending on cost of lodging, flights and rental cars. Stateside weddings require an additional fee of $400 and international travel fees range from $800 to $1500.
Do you travel? Do you charge travel fees?
Yes! I require a 25% retainer at the time of booking. It is a non-refundable retainer and secures your wedding date. The final 75% is due 2 weeks before the wedding/session.
Do you require a Retainer?
Post editing includes the basics: Light adjustments, cropping, color adjustments as needed in my own style. It does not include beauty touchups, or extensive photoshop work. I'll leave Photoshop to the pros. It has never been in my line of expertise. That's the truth.
Whats including in post editing? Do you photoshop?
Yes! Add on an extra hour, second photographer, engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, or after party coverage. We can ad-on and customize your experience in anyway you want.
Do you offer a la carte services?
There is a complete list of all the venues I have worked at bellow. If your location is new to me that's great in my eyes! Your my first couple to have that experience with and I will never forget it! I'd be happy to meet you there for a walkthrough to reassure you that your day will be flawless, and talk ideas of course!
Have you ever shot at our venue? Does that make a difference?
Personally, I do not send clients RAW files. It's rare that any photographer does, and to be honest not many computers have the proper software to read/open a RAW image.
Do we recieve RAW images?
I arrive 30 mins ahead of schedule to walk around the location, see what the light is doing and check my equipment for the third or forth time. If shooting alone I typically start with the bride and then bounce between bride and groom until the ceremony. If working with a 2nd shooter she will be with the groom for the entirety of getting ready. The rest of the day will go as the evening pans out. I'm not afraid of being a part of the action and getting the right moments at the right time. The whole day I pay attention to the cues, laughter, shouting, crying, dancing, the conversations...Thats how I capture your true moments. Dont worry, I capture a lot of group shots too. I'm not afraid to ask for a quick photo.
What happens on a typical wedding day?
Absolutely. Thank goodness for Facetime and Zoom! We can schedule this as soon as you like to get the ball rolling. If you are a SD local, we can even meet at your favorite coffee shop or brewery. Let's start this journey off right shall we!
Do you meet with people before booking? Or can we plan time to chat?
