What is your photography style?
I would say that I take both a traditional AND a photojournalistic approach to wedding photography. I like to capture not only the romance of the day, but the fun and the excitement that surrounds a wedding, to tell your story in the most beautiful way possible. The best phrase to describe my style would be Modern Romance!
Do you have references?
Yes I do. I pride myself in the fact that I have a wonderful relationship with my clients (who I absolutely LOVE for allowing me to share in such amazing moments in their lives!). Please click HERE to see some of our great customer reviews.
How many photographers are included in your packages?
Most of my packages include 2 photographers, including me of course :-)
Do you substitute photographers or send a complete stranger to my wedding?And will I always get 2 photographers?
I would never send a total stranger to photograph your wedding. I really treasure the relationships that I have with all of my clients... I love getting to know you and knowing anything and everything about your love and your wedding... sending a complete stranger in my place would only tamper with the trust that I hope has already been established. Of course, if I am deathly sick then I will definitely make arrangments for you to still have your photographer(s). I have never had to substitute a photographer for any event, but rest assured that I will never just leave you “hanging” without a photographer on your wedding day.
What is a “printing credit”?
Some of our brides like to create their own custom package… so I created the printing credit to accommodate to their needs. With the printing credit you can create your own print package (based on our standard price list) ...you can use the credit to print whatever you might need – enlargements, any size print, canvas prints, parents albums, etc.
Do you include a traditional wedding album?
I don't typically do a traditional album with my packages – instead I include a beautiful coffee table album, but I can substitute my coffee table albums for a traditional album if you wish.
What is a coffee table album?
They are professional hard bound books and are a truly modern way of showcasing your favorite wedding images. I personally design each and every page.
Do we get to decide which pictures will be included in the coffee table album?
Yes… I will have you pick your favorite pictures.
How many pictures are included in the album?
The amount of pictures included in the album will depend on not only the amount of pages that the album includes, but also on the style of album that you would like to have.
What if we want more hours than what the package offers?
I will gladly stay more hours at your event if needed… I have an hourly rate that you can take advantage of.
Do you have a travel fee?
I do have a travel fee that applies to locations that are more than 30 miles from me. My travel fee is $50 for locations 30-60 miles away from Moreno Valley… $75 for locations that are 60-75 miles away from Moreno Valley… and $0.50 per additional mile after the 75 miles. With the deluxe package “D” and with the Diamond Packages I offer a 50% off discount on all our travel fees.
What areas do you travel to?
I travel all over Southern California… from the Inland Empire, to Los Angeles, to Orange County and San Diego County - I would say most of my weddings are in Orange County and Los Angeles County ... but I'm all over the place :-).
Is a CD of my images included in the package?
The deluxe package “D” does include a CD of ALL of your wedding images at full resolution. You can also purchase your CD with any other package for an additional fee.
Do you offer black and white or sepia prints?
Since I shoot with digital, any picture can be turned into black & white or sepia tone at no additional charge.
Do you do color tinting? (where the image is black and white or sepia, but a section in color... like the flowers)
I gladly do color tinting for my clients. I do charge an additional fee for color tinting, depending on the image and the amount of time necessary to create the effect. In most cases the fee is very minimal since I can do color tinting rather quickly, but it does depend greatly on the detail of the image.
How long after my wedding before I get to see my wedding images?
I try to finish processing your images as soon as possible, I know how anxious you are to see your wedding images and relive those amazing moments! - so I make it a top priority to get your pictures ready for viewing as soon as possible. My average turn around time is around 3 weeks from the day of your wedding.
How will I be able to view the images?
I utilize on-line galleries and do all of my projects with on-line proofing. This is a very effective way to show you your wedding images. I will email you a link to your gallery within 3 weeks after your event and you can forward that link to whoever you would like as well.
