Accepted Answer

Yes, I love photographing elopements. They are becoming an increasingly popular option for couples around the world.

You can celebrate your love in your own unique way, and I would love to be there to celebrate it with you.

I feel incredibly lucky and privileged to be a part of these beautiful moments.

Question 13

Do you shoot in both digital and film formats?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I do shoot in both digital and film formats. This allows me to capture the best of both worlds—digital for its versatility and quick turnaround, and film for its timeless, classic look. If you’re interested, we can incorporate both formats into your wedding day to create a unique blend of modern and vintage aesthetics.

Question 14

How do I pay?

Accepted Answer

The most convenient payment method is through Zelle, which is instant and free of fees. You can use my email address, ivandianaphotography@gmail.com, for Zelle payments. Alternatively, you can pay via PayPal or check. Please note that PayPal charges a service fee ranging from 4% to 11%, depending on your country. I require a retainer, which will be applied to the final payment. The retainer ranges from $200 to $1,000, depending on the value of your package. For those paying via Zelle or PayPal, the final payment is due one week before the shoot. For cash payments, the final payment is due on the day of the shoot.

Question 15

How do you select which photos to include in the final gallery?

Accepted Answer

I will provide you with all the files, except for a few test shots. Sometimes, for important moments, I take multiple photos in continuous mode, about 5 shots per second. From these, I might select 2-3 of the best images.

Question 16

How long after the shoot will I receive the files?

I will do my best to deliver your photos as quickly as possible. During slower months, I typically deliver files within a week. However, during the busy season, it may take up to 6 weeks.

Accepted Answer

You will receive at least 70 photos per hour. This number can be lower if we have a lot of downtime (running late, traveling between locations), but it can also be higher.

Question 19

How will I receive the files?

Accepted Answer

You will receive your files through an online gallery. I will provide you with a link and a pin code, allowing you to download all the files at once in full resolution. You’ll also be able to easily share them with friends and family. Don’t forget to print your favorite photos—give your digital files an analog life.

Question 20

Our venue requires that our photographer has a general liability policy. Are you insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most of the hotels in Las Vegas require a general liability policy for up to 2 million dollars. I do carry that policy.

Question 21

We would like our photos taken on the Las Vegas Strip. What is the best way to travel from location to location?

Accepted Answer

If you’re traveling with your guests, the best option is to hire a party bus. You’ll be chauffeured in style from location to location, enjoy the freedom to play your own music, and as a bonus, many party buses come with a pole to really crank up the party! If it’s just the two of you, the most convenient option is to rent a limo. You’ll be dropped off right at each location, so you won’t have to worry about parking and walking to the photo spots. You are also more than welcome to ride with me. It’s a great way to get to know each other better!

Question 22

What equipment are you using?

Accepted Answer

I primarily use Nikon equipment because I love how Nikon cameras render skin tones. I bring at least two camera setups to every shoot. My go-to cameras at the moment are: Nikon D750 Nikon Z6 Nikon Z6II Nikon F80 (film) Fuji X-T20 Polaroid camera My go-to lenses are: Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art Nikon 85mm f/1.4G Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 Nikon 55mm f/2.8 Macro For lighting, I use: Flashpoint V1 Godox AD200 Godox AD360 Godox SK400 II Godox SL60 Raleno LED light

Question 23

Who edits your photos?

Accepted Answer

I personally edit all of my files. I’m just as excited as you are to see the photos as soon as I get back home! I import the images into Adobe Lightroom and carefully edit each file.

Question 24

Will the photos be watermarked?

Accepted Answer

No, the photos will not be watermarked. I want you to enjoy and share your images freely without any distractions. All your photos will be provided in high resolution and fully edited, so you can use them however you like.
