I get it – you've got questions, and I’ve got answers. Get ready for a rollercoaster of fun and info as we dive into your most burning questions about booking your dream wedding photographer.
1. The Price Tag: How Much Do You Charge?
Hold onto your bouquet! Elopement collections kick off at $3000, while full wedding collections start at $4500. Most couples invest around $5500+ for wedding day coverage, family heirloom albums, and artwork to adorn their love nest.
2. Picture-Perfect Memories: Will We Get Digital Images?
You bet! Expect the best images, professionally edited and ready to print from your online gallery or your favorite lab. Your memories, your way!
3. The Waiting Game: When Will Our Images Be Ready?
Patience is a virtue, and good things come to those who wait. Give me 6-8 weeks to weave my magic into your wedding images. If your wedding coincides with peak season, a little extra love might be needed.
4. The Numbers Game: How Many Images Will We Get?
Ah, the million-dollar question! Count on around 500 images for an 8-hour wedding. Factors like hours, locations, and weather make it all a sweet surprise.
5. The Backup Plan: Do You Have Backup Equipment?
Fear not! About 99% of the time, I’m rocking two cameras. If one decides to take a breather, the other steps up to save the day. Smooth as butter.
6. Capturing Your Love Story: What's Your Photography Style?
Imagine a fusion of documentaries, candid moments, and those classic poses. A sprinkle of joy, a dash of natural beauty, and a pinch of romance – voila!
7. The Dream Team: Do You Have Preferred Vendors?
Absolutely! My treasure trove of contacts includes DJs, videographers, florists, hair and makeup artists, online invitation ordering, bakers and caterers who know how to make magic happen.
8. Wanderlust and "I Do": Do You Travel for Destination Weddings?
Pack your bags and say "I do" anywhere your heart desires. If my schedule allows, I’ll make your destination dreams come true.
9. Picture-Perfect Prints: Do I Have to Order Through You?
While it's not a must, I HIGHLY recommend it. Professional labs sprinkle extra magic on your prints. If you choose to wander, I’ve got some golden suggestions!
10. The Foodie in Us: Do We Need to Feed You?
A seat at a table guarantees no missed moments. We dine when the wedding party dines to capture every slice of the action.
11. Paparazzi Alert: Can Guests Take Pictures?
Absolutely, but no flash photography during posed shots. It's like a recipe – too many cooks (or cameras) can spoil the broth (or shot).
12. Reserving Your Date: How Do We Do It?
Love coffee? Beer? Ice cream? So do I! Let's chat over a tasty treat and seal the deal. A 50% retainer and a signed contract – your ticket to a fabulous wedding journey.
