Frequently Asked Questions
Can we change outfits during our photo shoots?
Absolutely! Keep in mind the time that is allowed with your package, but we are happy to take
your photos in several different outfits.
I am going to purchase a copyright-released
cd in addition to the photos that I buy with my on line gallery coupon. Will the photos on my cd be edited, and what does
that include?
We will edit all photos taken during your
event or photo shoot that come with your chosen package. We go through each picture, one by one, adjust the white balance
and color saturation, remove red eye, and adjust brightness and contrast when needed to help make sure your photos look as
good as possible. That includes all of the photos on your cd. Some special editing such as removing blemishes or artistic
enhancement is available upon request and can be purchased through the on line gallery.
I want pictures taken while I am getting ready before my wedding,
but I am getting ready at my friend's house instead of the ceremony site. Will you take pictures at her house?
We are willing to travel several places to take your pictures. Keep in mind that the first
sixty miles round trip are included with your package, and any additional mileage is $1.00 per mile.
How many photographs will you take during my photo shoot or event?
We don't have a particular rule about the
number of photos we take, but as an example, we usually take 85-100 photos during engagement sessions and senior or family
photo shoots. Weddings vary depending on the number of photographers, length of the wedding and reception, and number of activities.
Some weddings have only required 300 photos, while others had over 1000 photos. Probably the most common number at
weddings is around 700 pictures, and we choose the best and most important photos to edit and display on your gallery depending
on the number of photos that come with the chosen package. Parties usually range between 100 and 400 photos, depending on
the time and number of people attending.
How long will it take to get my pictures?
Because we edit your pictures one by one, the time it takes to finish them depends on the
number of photos and how many photo shoots we have during a particular month. Engagement and family photo shoots typically
take two weeks to be edited and uploaded to the on line gallery. Wedding pictures typically take approximately three to four
weeks. After that, you may view and select your photos on line. Once your purchase is complete, the pictures usually
arrive within 6-10 business days.
I am from out of town, and the package I want comes with a bridal
portrait session. If I don't want the portrait session, can I exchange it for something else?
We are happy to work with our clients to create a package that fits them. Some services
can be exchanged for other items or services such as additional pre-ceremony time or gallery credits.
What kind of special editing do you do?
We offer many different kinds of special editing. We can remove scars and blemishes, create
different lighting of many colors, mix black and white with color in a photograph, make portraits look like paintings, and
much much more!
