Question 1

HOW DO I BOOK WITH YOU?

Accepted Answer

WE HAVE A COUPLE OF OPTIONS HERE, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MEET FACE TO FACE AND TALK ABOUT ALL THE DETAILS THAT MAKE YOUR SPECIAL DAY UNIQUE THAT WOULD BE GREAT, IF THAT IS NOT AN OPTION FOR YOU, I CAN SEND THE ELECTRONIC CONTRACT AND A WAY TO PAY THE DEPOSIT TO YOUR EMAIL. WHICHEVER YOU ARE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH.

Question 2

IS THERE A PAYMENT PLAN?

Accepted Answer

YES, 30% OF THE PACKAGE AMOUNT IS DUE AT THE TIME WE SIGN THE CONTRACT, HOLDING YOUR DATE. AFTER THAT 40% IS DUE HALF WAY BETWEEN THE DAY WE SIGN THE CONTRACT AND YOUR WEDDING DATE, WITH THE FINAL 30% DUE FOUR MONTHS BEFORE YOUR WEDDING.

Question 3

WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE TO HAVING A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?

Accepted Answer

HAVING A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER ON YOUR WEDDING DAY PROVIDES AN ADDITIONAL SET OF EYES, AN ADDITIONAL VIEW AND AN ADDITIONAL CREATIVE CONTRIBUTION TO YOUR WEDDING IMAGES. WHILE THE MAIN PHOTOGRAPHER LOOKS AT THE DRESS ONE WAY, THE SECOND SEES IT AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT WAY. WITH THE SUPPORT OF A SECOND SHOOTER, THE MAIN PHOTOGRAPHER IS ALLOTTED MORE TIME TO THINK IN NEW AND CREATIVE WAYS. THE SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER CAN ALSO CAPTURE THE REACTIONS, EMOTIONS, AND ACTION FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE THAN THE PRIMARY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER.

Question 4

WHAT IS YOUR EDITING TIME?

Accepted Answer

I WILL DELIVER THE ONLINE GALLERY WITHIN 8-12 WEEKS, SOMETIMES MUCH SHORTER, DEPENDING ON THE SEASON. ANY PRODUCTS MAY TAKE LONGER.

Question 5

WHAT TYPE OF EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?

Accepted Answer

I HAVE PROFESSIONAL GRADE CANON EQUIPMENT AND PROFESSIONAL GRADE BACK UP EQUIPMENT. I ALSO HAVE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT LENSES WITH A RANGE OF ZOOM OPTIONS AND MULTIPLE FLASH COMPONENTS.

Question 6

WHAT IS A BRIDAL SESSION?

Accepted Answer

A BRIDAL SESSION IS SCHEDULED FOR THE DAY THE BRIDE HAS HER HAIR AND MAKEUP RUN-THROUGHS, BEFORE OR AFTER THE DAY OF THE WEDDING. THIS GIVES HER TIME TO FOCUS ON HER LOOK AND THE PHOTOGRAPHER TIME TO CAPTURE HER ALONE.

Question 7

WHERE DO YOU RECOMMEND PRINTING THE IMAGES?

Accepted Answer

MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO HAVE ME PRINT YOUR IMAGES FOR YOU. I USE A PROFESSIONAL QUALITY PRINT HOUSE THAT IS CALIBRATED TO MEET MY COLOR PROFILE AND COMPUTER MONITORS.

Question 8

HOW IS A PRINT RELEASE DIFFERENT FROM A COPYRIGHT?

Accepted Answer

THE PRINT RELEASE IS GIVEN TO THE CLIENT AND ENABLES THEM TO PRINT THE IMAGES WHEREVER AND WHENEVER THEY WISH. THE COPYRIGHT RELEASE, WHICH IS RETAINED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER, IS A DOCUMENT STATING WHO OWNS THE PHOTOS AND WHO IS ALLOWED TO DISTRIBUTE AND MONETIZE THE ARTISTIC PROPERTY.

Question 9

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED AND DO YOU TRAVEL?

Accepted Answer

I AM BASED OUT OF ALABAMA, BUT I LOVE TO TRAVEL! THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THE FIRST 50 MILES, AND AFTER THAT THE CHARGE DEPENDS ON THE NUMBER OF MILES AND IF AN OVERNIGHT STAY IS NECESSARY.
