FAQ
General
Can we do meetings on the weekends?
As much as we try and accommodate everyone, weekend meetings are very difficult as we are nearly always shooting a wedding or engagement. We do stay late in the studio during the week.
Will you be shooting anything else on the day of the wedding?
No. Never.
Do we get the high res jpegs?
You do, 6 months after your wedding date.
Do you have liability insurance?
Yes. Every photographer has his/her own cover over $1,000,000.
Technical
Color vs b/w?
All files are shot in color but we do “process” files in between taking them off the camera and showing you. This is where we choose which ones will be black and white.
What equipment do you use?
Canon EOS MK 1V body plus 3 other bodies. All canon L series professional lenses.
Raw vs Jpegs
The camera shoots “RAW” files which are untouched by the camera. We download these to the computer and use high end software to individually color balance and enhance the pictures. They are then “processed” to high end jpegs.
What happens if a camera goes down?
Even though I service my equipment 3 times a year, things can break, so I come with at least 2 of everything.
Wedding
Will I meet the photographer who will shoot my wedding?
Yes absolutely. Beyond liking the pictures you have to decide if you can spend your wedding day with your choice of photographer.
How many people turn up?
You will always get the photographer you meet. They always come with a 2nd shooter, these are photographers in training and could potentially end up as a main shooter for me so they are very good.
Can we give you a shot list?
Yes. In fact we welcome that so we can get any extra special people or details above what we normally shoot.
Can you stay longer at the wedding?
Yes. We often do. This is charged at $300 per hour and keeps both photographers there.
