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

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

You will get your 10-15 sneak-peeks within 24 hours after the wedding. Your full online gallery will be ready within 4 weeks after the wedding.

Question 3

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. The best 100 "wedding highlights" pictures will also be edited for skin imperfections and every other little detail so you can print them as large canvases, and use in wedding albums.

Question 4

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

In my 7 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. 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. This won't cost you extra!

Question 6

What will it be like to work with you?

Accepted Answer

My job is to make you feel comfortable, to provide you with the very best depiction of your day, and to make you forget that I am even there. I also believe in treating all my clients with respect, so I will never impose my vision on you: instead, I like to figure out who my clients are and then let them be themselves. This day is yours, after all, not mine.

Question 7

I feel awkward in front of the camera. Is there a way around it?

Accepted Answer

The good news is that you do not need to be a professional model to look great in my pictures; you simply need to be honest, open, sincere, and very much in love with one another! I will guide you and provide suggestions to help bring out your natural reactions. I rarely stage photos, except for formal family portraits and bridal party shots. But for most of your day, I will be photographing the natural events as they happen. Thanks to my 10+ years of professional experience as a photojournalist, I am skilled at capturing the "decisive moments" that are so important to your wedding day.

Question 8

Do I have to include an engagement session?

Accepted Answer

It is up to you. I recommend this optional session because it is an excellent opportunity for us to get to know one another. It also allows you to experience the photography process and begin to feel comfortable in front of the camera. This session takes place on a separate day.

Question 9

What education do you have in the photography field?

Accepted Answer

I am a graduate of the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York City, where I completed a one-year Photojournalism program. Before starting my wedding photography business in 2017, I spent ten years working as a photographer for GEO, a European travel magazine.

Question 10

What are your booking and payment requirements?

Accepted Answer

I require a signed contract and a 50% retainer to book your date. The remaining balance is due one month before the event. I also offer payment plans, allowing you to pay in 4 or 8 smaller installments.

Question 11

Will you book more than one client a day?

Accepted Answer

Nope! Every client deserves a well-rested photographer who is never in a rush for another wedding. Your wedding is one of a kind and should be treated as such.

Question 12

Do you like what you do?

Accepted Answer

Yes, very much! I feel privileged to witness and document people's love and tenderness on their special day. It's an extraordinary honor to glimpse into others' lives. What truly inspires me and makes me enjoy my work so much is sharing those tender moments with beautiful couples who open their hearts and allow me to be part of their special wedding day.
