Question 1

How many pictures will we get?

Accepted Answer

You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.

Question 2

What’s your back-up plan if you can’t photograph our wedding as planned?

Accepted Answer

In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement. If you do not want to choose from the list, or from anyone that I can find for you, you would just get your money back guaranteed.

Question 3

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I occasionally touch up any facial "imperfections" that are pointed out to me. Since places like beaches are also never completely secluded, I also remove people or objects that take away from the image.

Question 4

Can I have the RAW files?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, I do not allow clients to have access to the RAW image files. You will only receive the edited JPEG files.

Question 5

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. I work very quickly, though, so most clients end up getting their galleries back within 2 weeks!

Question 6

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

Question 7

How far in advance should we book you for our wedding?

Accepted Answer

Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.

Question 8

Is there a deposit/retainer fee for booking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is. The deposit will be half of your session price. This is required so that your date will be set in stone. The remainder of the session fee will be due on the day of your session. This also applies to small weddings/elopements (less than 5 hours). For weddings (4+ hours), $500.00 is the required retainer fee, and it is non-refundable.

Question 9

Do you charge a travel fee?

Accepted Answer

I only charge a travel fee for locations/venues on the North Shore and beaches around the Waianae area. Any travel to these locations is an automatic $30.00 additional fee. If the client requests a lot of back-and-forth travel, I may be inclined to add-on an additional travel fee. If you request that I travel to another island, travel fees begin at $400.00.

Question 10

How will I receive my portraits?

Accepted Answer

Every session/wedding comes with an online gallery. Once all of your photos have been taken and edited, I will upload them to the gallery and email them to you and only you. Once you have this gallery, along with any PINs and passwords provided, you may share your album with family and friends. Please note that you (and whomever you give the album information to) should download the album ASAP.
