FAQ's

How long have you been doing wedding photography?
2009 is our third season of wedding photography.

What’s so special about your photography?
All of our photographs are post processed with color in mind. We love vibrant, popping color and color is our specialty (as you can see in our photos). Some photographs, however, do look better in an antique tone or in black and white. We also provide those at our discretion. We do add textures and vignetting occasionally in order to give the photograph a different feel.

How do you identify your primary photographic style?
Our style is mainly photo journalistic. We do some posing and directing during bride & groom shoot and engagement sessions. With those ‘posed pictures’, we make it look candid and natural as if we weren’t posing or directing. For the rest of your wedding day, we take a photo journalistic approach. So please act as natural as possible!

How long is the "dressing to cake cutting coverage?"
Usually about 8 hours. We like to arrive about 30 minutes prior to the bride dressing and leave right after the cake is cut, unless that is earlier in the evening. If that is the case, we leave about 30-45 minutes prior to the event ending.

Which lighting situations do you have experience with?
We have experience in all sorts of lighting situations. When we shoot in direct sunlight, we get the most color and love those situations also. On overcast days, the sunlight is less direct and more diffused, reducing harsh shadows and making great portraits.

How many photographers do you work with?
2 photographers for every wedding. Sharyn and Gary! We’re a husband and wife team.

Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Yes, unless there is an emergency in which case a competent photographer will be provided. This is in the photography contract. Your wedding will be taken care of no matter what.

What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
We bring multiple layers of backup equipment including lenses, camera bodies, flash units, umbrella stands, batteries etc.

How soon after the event are the proofs ready for viewing?
Typically 4-8 weeks.

In what format are the initial proofs offered?
Proofs are offered in an online proofing gallery. A DVD with high res photos in JPEG format will be provided as well.

How long can the couple keep the proofs?
Online proofing gallery will be available for 2 months. DVD is yours to keep. You have the rights to reproduce the files, create prints, post the photos online for personal (non-commercial) use. You will also receive a printing release will the DVD.

How many photos are delivered?
For a typical 8 hour wedding we deliver between 300-800 photos. For a 2 hour engagement shoot we typically deliver around 30-50 photos.

Do you have any reviews or testimonials of your service?
Yes, you can read some reviews on our wedding wire page.

How do we book you guys for our wedding date?
Email or give us a call! If we have your date available we'd be happy to meet to see if we are a match. If we both feel like we will work well together, all we require is a $200, non-refundable deposit to hold your date. Our booking occurs on a first-come/first-serve basis, however we will not reserve your date until a deposit has been received. We accept cash, check or PayPal. The remaining balance will be due 2 weeks before your wedding.

Do we have to provide meals for you guys during the wedding?
Yes please! It’ll keep us going strong in getting those amazing images for you guys! We usually eat while the guests and bride and groom are eating, because most people don’t want their pictures taken with their mouths full.
