Help for Brides and Grooms, Part II

8. What kind of equipment will you bring with you? How intrusive will lighting, tripods, other equipment or assistants be?

I have a 10 megapixel Canon 40D, with a 580 II Flash, a back up Canon 20D, multiple back up flashes and lights, and various other accessories. I will respect your wishes regarding photographer "visibility". I make every effort to balance capturing important images, while being sensitive to the ceremony and your guests.

9. Do you develop or print your own images?

I use a high quality photo lab using state of the art digital printers designed for professional photofinishers, which results in the best possible prints. Images are engineered to last for decades without fading, when treated properly. Typically, images are suitable for enlargements up to 20 x 30", or larger.

10. Can we buy a CD with the images and full reproduction rights?

Yes, for an additional cost, I can provide a full resolution images on a CD. I cannot offer a guarantees on print finishes at locations other than my own print provider.

11. I have hired you for several hours of photography time - Does that include your set up and take down time?

I set up and take down prior to and after the event, on my time. "In between time set ups" will be included in the hours in which you contracted.

12 Do you charge a "split" reception fee?

If the reception is local, the wedding and the reception immediately follows the wedding, there will be no additional fee. The time between the wedding and reception is counted within the contracted time.
13. Do you do engagement portraits?

Yes, as mentioned in the pricing a one hour sitting session is included and it's a great time for us to get acquainted prior to the event.

14. What are the refunds/cancellation terms? When are deposits and payments required?

A non refundable deposit of $100 at contract signing is required to hold your date, 30 days prior to the event, an additional non refundable $100 deposit is due, with full payment due 10 days prior to the even. Deposits will be applied to the wedding fee. In the event of cancellation, the photographer requires immediate notification.
