Question 4

How long does it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Typically I will upload your wedding day images in 4-5 weeks. The reason it takes this amount of time is because I review, edit and enhance each image from your wedding day, giving it the polished look and feel similar to the images you see on my website.

Question 5

How many pictures do I get?

Accepted Answer

I currently am delivering somewhere between 900-1000+ wedding images for full days coverage. This number can and will fluctuate depending on the flow of the day’s events and other happenings, however that is my ballpark. Engagement sessions are in the 150-200 image range.

Question 6

Will we get a print release?

Accepted Answer

Certainly. Every wedding and engagement shoot will come with a print release cd insert card.

Question 7

How long have you been shooting weddings as a photographer?

Accepted Answer

Going on 10 years of professional shooting. Before that I spent several years as a 2nd shooter / assistant to various professional photographers and before that I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from West Virginia University.

Question 8

What style do you specialize in?

Accepted Answer

I like to describe my style as a blend of photojournalism + creative portraiture. I don't like to force “cheesy poses” as i’m always aiming to create imagery that looks comfortable, elegant and natural. I try and rely on natural light as much as possible as I feel it creates a more dynamic wedding image, but when limited natural light just won’t cut it I then rely on my flashes (ex: dark rooms)

Question 9

What exactly is included in your packages?

Accepted Answer

My goal is to keep pricing and package selection simple. Start off by picking a package (either 8 hours or 10 hours) both which include the coverage, enhancement of all your images, a proofing gallery, and all of your high print resolution images on cd with printing rights. Then select A-la-cart add on items if necessary such as an album, engagement session or second photographer. Thats it!

Question 10

Do you have backup photographers who will shoot the wedding if you're sick?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I have professional photographer colleagues I can call upon in case of an extreme emergency.
