Question 2

What’s the booking process like, and how do we secure our date?

Accepted Answer

It is simple and seamless! First, submit your inquiry. If you would like, we can schedule a complimentary consultation to talk through your story and vision. After that, you will receive an all-in-one booking link where you can review and sign your contract, select your desired services or package, submit your retainer, and officially reserve your date. You are also welcome to pay in full if that feels easier—one less thing to think about later.

Question 3

Do you have backup equipment and a plan in case of emergencies?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I always bring multiple cameras, lenses, batteries, and memory cards to ensure everything runs smoothly. Your memories are too important to leave anything to chance!

Question 4

How far in advance should we book you?

Accepted Answer

I usually book sessions 3–6 months in advance and weddings 12–18 months ahead. Fall dates and weekends tend to go quickly—so the sooner, the better!

Question 5

Do you offer payment plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I believe your story deserves to be preserved in a way that feels financially comfortable. I offer 2–4 payment plans depending on your session or package.

Question 6

What happens if it rains on our session or wedding day?

Accepted Answer

Rain or shine, your love story doesn’t pause—and neither do I. I come prepared with creative ideas and backup plans to turn any forecast into magic. For weddings, I adapt and make the most of every moment, rain or shine. For sessions, we can embrace the elements or reschedule if needed. Either way, magic will happen!

Question 7

We’re awkward in front of the camera. Can you help?

Accepted Answer

Guess what? Almost everyone says this! My job is to make you feel like the best version of yourselves—laughing, moving, and soaking in the moment. No stiff poses, just effortless, natural moments, plenty of laughter, and guidance every step of the way. Take some time off and treat yourself to a little beauty rest before the session. Hydrate well and eat a good breakfast or lunch to keep your energy up. Don’t stress if you wake up with a blemish—I’ve got you covered and can easily edit it out. Wear something comfortable—since we’ll be walking and moving around quite a bit, it’s important to feel at ease in your outfit.

Question 8

Can my beloved pet be involved?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Your fur babies are more than welcome to join the session—(and in my case, even feathered friends are invited too)!​

Question 9

What time should we start photos on our wedding day?

Accepted Answer

Every wedding is unique, and I help craft a timeline that makes the most of your day. The best light, the smoothest flow, and zero stress—that’s the goal! Need help? Let’s go over the details together!

Question 10

Can we send you a shot list?

Accepted Answer

I capture your love story naturally, but if there’s something meaningful—Grandma’s heirloom locket, a special handshake—tell me! I’m here for your moments. I love knowing what’s important to you! While I capture all the must-have moments naturally, feel free to share specific requests for family portraits or sentimental details.

Question 11

Do you work with videographers?​

Accepted Answer

100%! I believe photos and video should complement—not compete. I coordinate seamlessly with your team so that both mediums tell your story beautifully.

Question 12

What’s the best way to organize family photos?

Accepted Answer

No one loves standing around waiting for pictures. I create a fast and efficient family portrait list so we get the must-haves done smoothly—without missing the fun. Family photos can be beautiful and efficient with a little planning!

Question 13

What’s your approach to capturing candid moments?

Accepted Answer

Some of the best photos happen in the unplanned, real moments—I’m always anticipating these little moments, so I can document them in an artistic yet unobtrusive way. I want you to relive your memories through the emotions, not just the poses.

Question 14

Do you offer engagement sessions, and how do they help with the wedding day?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Engagement sessions are a fantastic way for us to get to know each other before the wedding. They help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and they also give us a chance to see what works best for you as a couple. Plus, they’re a great opportunity for save-the-date photos, guest books, or just celebrating this special chapter in your lives!

Question 15

What are some ways we can make our photos feel unique and personal?

Accepted Answer

I love incorporating personal touches! Whether it’s a sentimental location, meaningful details, a unique look, or a furry friend—your personalities should shine through your photos. If you have ideas, I’d love to hear them! And if you’re not sure, I’m happy to suggest creative ways to make your photos feel uniquely ‘you.

Question 16

When will we receive our photos?

Accepted Answer

Your full gallery is delivered within 6 to 8 weeks. Your story deserves care, and trust me—it’ll be worth the wait.

Question 17

How many images can we expect?

Accepted Answer

Every photoshoot and wedding is unique, but typically, you can expect around 40-60 photos per hour amount of fully edited images. I carefully curate each gallery to include the best moments, making sure every image tells a story. My turnaround time is about 6-8 weeks, but I am always working hard to get them to you as soon as I can.

Question 18

Can we order albums or prints through you?​

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely! You can order beautiful albums and prints directly through me. I offer high-quality, custom-designed albums and a range of print options to showcase your cherished moments. Each piece is carefully crafted to reflect the emotion and uniqueness of your story. If you're interested in ordering, just let me know, and we can create something unforgettable together!

Question 19

How can we share our photos online?

Accepted Answer

I’ll provide an easy-to-use online gallery where you can download and share. Tagging me on social media is always appreciated! #GinaMayBrownPhotography

Question 20

What if we want to book another session?

Accepted Answer

I love when clients return! Your story doesn’t end after “I do,” and I’d be honored to document the next chapter. Whether it’s an anniversary, maternity session, or family photos, I’d be honored to capture your next chapter. Let’s start planning!

Question 21

Do you recommend or include a second photographer?

Accepted Answer

For weddings, I always recommend a second photographer—we have different points of view and perspectives. He will follow your partner and get all the photos from that perspective, especially faces during first looks or seeing you in your gorgeous dress for the first time. I will follow you, getting all the detail shots and your reactions as well. The day will go by quickly and become a blur. The posed pictures are great for remembering how the day looked, but it is the candids that capture how the day FELT—the more memories captured, the better.

Question 22

What is your photography style?

Accepted Answer

My photography style is a blend of timeless romance and authentic storytelling. I focus on capturing genuine emotions and candid moments throughout your day, with a mix of soft, natural light portraits and artistic details. Think warm, vibrant colors and a photojournalistic approach that feels like a beautiful film from your love story. I'd love to chat about your vibe—let's hop on a quick call to see if we're a match!
