Frequently Asked Questions:
All booking fees (what you pay upfront) holds your date. This means we stop advertising our availability on that date and no more bookings are accepted. The portion you pay upfront is non-refundable because it is absorbed back into our business to keep it operating smoothly. Immediately after your 50% booking fee is paid, we invite you to schedule your free engagement session. Your final payment is due 2 weeks prior to your event. After the event, we begin delivering all that is outlined in your contract.
We are very generous with the quantity of photos we deliver. I hand-edit every phone I deliver and average around 50 images per hour. My average 8-hour gallery size is between 500-800 images, sometimes more depending on what my team captures. After we curate and edit each image, we give you everything in your digital gallery.
Hi-res digital downloads should be reserved for the “best of the best”. These are the images that you will want to enlarge and frame. Each package includes a set number of high-resolution images depending on the package you buy. This option includes a print release and no watermark.
For weddings, the remaining portion of your gallery will be web-size images. These include my watermark (logo) in the lower right corner. Web size resolution is good for sharing on social media and websites, but not good for printing purposes. Most packages include unlimited web-size images with my watermark. If you want a full gallery buy-out to remove the watermark, those options are available for an additional fee.
Yes! Print products can be customized inside every gallery. Print products are optional. You may purchase a luxury package up front as your gallery is being created, or you can create your own products after the gallery is delivered online. Guests can make purchases as well and can receive early bird pricing for ornaments, calendars, prints, albums, and more.
Think of mini-sessions as a local, themed event. They are often decorated with a theme at a specific location, on a specific day set by the photographer. Mini-session time slots are limited to 30 minutes and are sold out once booked. They include a smaller number of digital images because we spend less time shooting. In contrast, a full session is more traditional in the sense that a family books a longer one-on-one session time with the photographer. We discuss location, dates, and times in advance, and we curate a look that the family wants for their home.
