Question 1

DO YOU TRAVEL?

Accepted Answer

I seize every opportunity I can to travel for business or leisure. So whether you’ve planned a destination wedding or are hosting your wedding outside of the Richmond Metro Area, I’m ready to make it work!

Question 2

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO BOOK EMMICLAIRE PHOTOGRAPHY?

Accepted Answer

Once we’ve had a chance to chat and get to know each other a bit, and you’re ready to take the plunge to book EmmiClaire Photography, I’ll send a contract and invoice for your review and signature. Payment of a non-refundable retainer will be due in order to reserve your date. The retainer amount is a percentage based on your total wedding package price

Question 3

HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL I RECEIVE?

Accepted Answer

Generally speaking, EmmiClaire Photography clients can expect to receive an average of 100 images per hour of coverage. Images will include formal shots, candid moments, as well as portraits and detail shots.

Question 4

DO YOU DELIVER EVERY IMAGE YOU SHOOT?

Accepted Answer

In short, no. While I pride myself on capturing beautiful photographs of the moments you’ll want to cherish for a lifetime, not every image is client-worthy. Part of being a good photographer is winnowing your wedding gallery so I can deliver only the best quality images. Don’t worry! You’ll still have plenty of images to choose from.

Question 5

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY WEDDING IMAGES?

Accepted Answer

EmmiClaire Photography generally returns digital wedding galleries to clients within four to six weeks. I know it’s difficult to wait for your wedding gallery, so I do my best to provide a quick turnaround time and ensure you get sneak peeks within 48 hours of your wedding. It takes time to diligently edit each image for your viewing pleasure! Albums, prints, and other photo products may take up to 10 weeks to receive

Question 6

WHAT TYPE OF EDITING SERVICES DO YOU PROVIDE?

Accepted Answer

I personally edit every image in your digital gallery. However, I do not offer extreme retouching. Blemishes are edited on a case by case basis at my discretion. All edited images are delivered in JPEG format. I do not deliver raw images to my clients.

Question 7

HAVE YOU WORKED AT/WITH MY VENUE?

Accepted Answer

If your wedding venue is within the Richmond Metro Area, chances are EmmiClaire Photography has had the privilege of photographing there. However, my clients can rest easy knowing that I work well with venues of all shapes and sizes.

Question 8

HOW DO YOU HANDLE INCLEMENT WEATHER?

Accepted Answer

Inclement weather is just one of the few hiccups that most wedding vendors deal with on a regular basis, and EmmiClaire Photography is no different. I will monitor the weather in the days leading up to your event and coordinate with your venue and wedding planner to determine the best locations for your photos.

Question 9

DO YOU USE A SHOT LIST?

Accepted Answer

When a photographer is assigned the task of working from an extremely detailed shot list, (s)he can often miss those truly meaningful and candid precious moments. That’s why, in general, I prefer to work from a family portrait shot list only. However, if there’s something specific you’d like photographed, communicate that to me and I’ll do my best to make it happen!

Question 10

HOW MANY/WHAT KIND OF PACKAGES DO YOU OFFER?

Accepted Answer

EmmiClaire Photography currently offers four distinct wedding packages. Packages are based on client needs, including but not limited to number of coverage hours, photographer travel time, and desired photo products.

Question 11

WHAT IS A SECOND SHOOTER AND WHAT DO THEY DO?

Accepted Answer

A second shooter is an additional photographer who agrees to work with your primary photographer to capture your wedding day. Each of EmmiClaire Photography’s current packages include a second shooter so you can rest assured that we capture ALL the images you could possibly want of your wedding day.

Question 12

FOR HOW MANY HOURS SHOULD I BOOK EMMICLAIRE PHOTOGRAPHY ON MY WEDDING DAY

Accepted Answer

Every wedding is different, so there’s no one right answer to this question. However, I advise you book your photographer from the time you begin getting ready through the end of your reception, and add an hour just in case you’re running behind schedule.

Question 13

WHAT HAPPENS IF I EXCEED THE TIME ALLOTTED FOR PHOTOGRAPHY IN MY CONTRACT?

Accepted Answer

Wedding days rarely, if ever, go exactly as planned. Often, that means you may want to extend your photography coverage. If your wedding runs over your contracted amount of time, EmmiClaire Photography will ask if you’d like to extend. If you choose to extend, you will be charged the rate set out in your contract rounded to the closes 30 minute increment.
