Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of weddings have you photographed?

A: I have photographed well over 150 weddings, including: Catholic, Christian, Vietnamese, Latino, Serbian, Hispanic, Nigerian, Indian, same sex, and DOUBLE weddings!   I have photographed outdoor and indoor weddings in a variety of settings from out in the country to low-lit churches and hotels. I can work with or without flash.

Q: Are you insured?

A: Yes. I have general business liability, equipment and malpractice insurance.  I can provide proof of insurance if your venue requires it.

Q: How many pictures do you take?

A: As many as needed to record your special day. I do not put a limit on or count how many photos that I take.

Q: Do you supply digital images?

A: Yes!  All wedding packages include a disk containing your high-resolution images with a print release.  If an engagement/bridal session is included with your package, those images are also included on your wedding disk.

Q: What photo lab do you use? Can you recommend one to me?

A: I recommend ordering your images through me since I use a professional lab that caters to professional photographers only. But, if you would prefer to order you own prints, I recommend mpix.com for reasonable and quality printing.  PLEASE don’t process your images at Target, Wal-Mart, etc.  I have done personal testing repeatedly at these locations and their color processing is terrible at best. I do not guarantee any work that is not ordered directly through me.

Q: What kind of equipment do you shoot with?

A: I use professional equipment including flashes, many lenses needed for different effects, and off camera lighting. I also have a backup body and flashes to ensure nothing prevents me from recording your day.

Q: Do you have a backup plan in case of an emergency that prevents you from shooting?

A: While I haven’t had this happen yet, and I don’t plan for it to in the future, I do have photographers that I can contact last minute with a similar style and quality that can step in to shoot.  I also am a part of a local photographer’s group that has a forum dedicated to wedding photographers that I can turn to as well.

Q: Are the images in color or black and white?

A: I shoot in color and convert as I deem appropriate for black and white, sepia, and many other processing methods.  If you are interested in seeing a picture processed differently, just ask!

Q: How do I view my photos?

A: You will be sent a link to your gallery approximately 2-6 weeks after your wedding. You are welcome to forward this to family and friends to make purchases. It will stay online for one month from the time it is posted.

Q: Do you do skin touch-up?

A: Yes!  All of my images have been individually edited and include basic skin editing to make sure you look your very best!  Extensive editing may incur an additional fee.
