QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
01Do I need a second photographer?
The second photographer is a professional whom we trust to be in a different location during your wedding and make photographs that are comparable to your primary photographer’s coverage. For example, your second photographer may be with the groom and groomsmen as they get ready, while your primary photographer is with the bride and bridesmaids as they get ready.
02How many coverage hours will we need?
We offer an option to extend your second photographer’s time to capture the end of the wedding, while your primary photographer departs on schedule. We want you to have all the coverage you need, so a second photographer later in the event is an ideal alternative to having two photographers stay late. In fact, we’ve learned that many of the most stunning and emotionally-charged photos happen as you’re getting ready. So that’s an important time for your photographer to get to know your wedding party and family, so they can recognize (and photograph) the important people. To give you some downtime – a wonderful break from the hustle and bustle of your day – we recommend carving out time to photograph you as a couple prior to your ceremony. If you’re considering this, talk to us about how we can make it happen!
03We’re not that comfortable in front of the camera, so what can you do to make us feel more relaxed?
That’s the question we most enjoy answering! At first, you may notice us and feel shy, but after a while, you’ll barely notice us as we blend into the background, gently capturing moments that are timeless and fun. For relaxed, posed photos of you two together, we whisk you away from the action for a short time, so you can enjoy each other during quiet moments that are all about your connection and chemistry. And of course, we’ll be there to collaborate, offering direction and posing instructions that work for you.
04When will we see our photos?
The week following your wedding, we will send you a sneak peek of a few favorite images. About six to eight weeks later, you’ll receive your complete online gallery with instructions to download the files.
05 How much retouching do you do to images?
We serve clients by offering core color-correction, tonal adjustment, exposure adjustments, dodging and burning, and conversion to black-and-white for photos delivered to clients. Any additional retouching, including blemish removal, background object removal, or other significant adjustments are offered on a custom, fee-based basis. In some cases, we can complete these requests in-house; other times, we work with an independent retoucher. This is determined on a case-by-case basis and incurs a nominal fee of $25 per image.
06 How many photos will we receive?
Our approach allows a lot of photos throughout the day, with the goal of carefully curating and delivering the best. In addition to the photographic process, we are experienced editors. When we edit, we curate and refine photos on an large screen, carefully examining exposure, lighting, body language, gesture, expression and of course, composition. The curation process is intensive and allows us to carefully craft your final photographs. When the process is complete, you’ll receive a gallery of approximately 600 to 900 images.
