Question 1

How far in advance should we book you for our wedding?

Accepted Answer

Typically, couples book me about 12 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.

Question 2

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

Typically it is Erika working as the main photographer for most weddings. However, whenever a second photographer is booked, Stephen is the designated second photographer for our team. Assistants or other photographers will be added as needed to our discretion.

Question 3

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

We go through an extensive culling and editing process to make sure you receive the best images we can provide for you. You will receive all of the best edited images that cover your entire timeline of your wedding day.

Question 4

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

Yes! That is Stephen's main focus. Please contact us if you are interested in adding on videography to your wedding or even your engagement session!

Question 5

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. We do not guarentee sneak peek images for all weddings because it depends on the volume that we may have at any given time (especially peak times during the year).

Question 6

How many pictures will we get?

Accepted Answer

We do not guarantee an exact number that you will receive because every single wedding is completely different and we cater our services to each wedding. However, you can expect around 50 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.

Question 7

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

We do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

Question 8

What’s your back-up plan if you can’t photograph our wedding as planned?

Accepted Answer

In my 8 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or find a suitable replacement through my network of professional photographers. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement. You are my top priority on your wedding day so I want to make sure that I am there for you!
