Where are you located?
I live with
my family in Wibraham, MA.
Will you travel outside New England to shoot a wedding?
Yes, I am willing to travel to any wedding destination.
What
is your style of photography?
I will shoot a variety of all styles including formal photos.
Additionally, I always encourage my clients to shoot family photos. Providing many styles to my clients I find helps
balance an album and better tells the story of the day.
How much of a deposit do
you require to hold a wedding date?
The retainer fee to book and hold your date is $300.
Final payment is required at the last meeting before the wedding.
Do you shoot the
weddings yourself?
Yes. I personally do all the work associated with the photography
of your wedding including the consultation, the shooting, the overseeing of the digital file and print processing, the production
of your album, and everything in between. However, on occassions when a second wedding is proposed for the same date,
I can provide a second team to photograph the wedding day. I personally provide all other work related to the wedding.
How long have you been a professional photographer?
I
have been making a full time living from my photography since 2004. I started out shooting weddings with other companies
on a part time basis for several years prior to starting on my own business. I soon realized that wedding photography was
something I truly enjoyed and began shooting weddings as the main focus of my business. I also have a large base of portrait
and event clients.
Do you work with an assistant?
Yes.
All wedding photography packages include two photographers.
Do you limit the number
of images that you take?
No. I shoot as many photos that it takes to properly photograph
your wedding. The requirements of your particular wedding will dictate how many images will be shot. We shoot
between 500-800 photos during most eight hour weddings.
What kind of equipment do
you use?
I use the top of the line Canon lenses and digital cameras. I have two cameras
on me at all times. One with a wide angle lense, and the other with a telephoto lense so that I have to do very little
lense changing.
Do you shoot digital or film?
I began
my photography shooting film and slides. I now shoot digital as I find it allows for new creativity. With digital photography
you do not have to choose between shooting on color film versus black and white. Digital allows me to shoot color
and black and white at the same time, all of the time. Sepia tones are also quite popular and can be converted from a color
file.
How long will it take for us to see the photos from our wedding?
You will be able to see your photos online within one week from your wedding date. You will receive your proof
albums within two weeks of your wedding date.
Do you include a finished album in
your base package price?
No. Base packages are for service only. Many
clients prefer to have service and a proof album only.
How
much does a custom designed finished album cost?
The cost of finished albums vary greatly depending on album manufacturer, style, and size. Average cost for a
custom designed finished album is generally between $425-1,500. If you know specifically what you want, I would be happy
to provide a more exact quote.
