Before booking a wedding or couples photographer, it’s crucial to get a clear understanding of how they work. Every photographer has a unique approach to capturing moments, and making sure your vision aligns with theirs is key to having a seamless experience. Asking the right questions not only helps you manage expectations but also ensures that you’re investing in someone who truly gets your vibe. Here are 5 simple yet essential questions that will reveal the details you need to know before putting any money down:
- What is your photography style?
- When will I receive photos back
- How many photos can I expect from our time together?
- What is your cancellation policy?
- Do you provide raw files?
1. What is your photography style?
A photographer’s style is like their signature—it defines how your wedding day will be captured and remembered. Our style is a blend of documentary, candid, romantic, and moody elements. We love capturing real, authentic moments as they happen naturally. This means you’ll get photos that are full of genuine emotion and connection, with a romantic, moody vibe that adds a timeless quality to your images. If this style resonates with you, then we’re likely to be a great match. Whether it’s the subtle glance between you and your partner or the joyful tears of your guests, our goal is to document your day authentically, while infusing it with a moody, romantic atmosphere that feels timeless.
2. When will I receive photos back?
After your wedding day, you’ll be eagerly awaiting your photos to relive those special moments. Knowing when you can expect your images helps set clear expectations and reduces any post-wedding anxiety. For us, we understand the anticipation and excitement that comes with seeing your wedding day photos and videos. That’s why our contract clearly states that you’ll receive everything within 90 days after your wedding. This timeline allows us to carefully select and edit each image, ensuring that the final gallery reflects the beauty and emotions of your day. While 90 days might seem like a wait, it’s our commitment to delivering high-quality work that you’ll cherish forever.
3. How many photos can I expect from our time together?
The number of photos you receive gives you a sense of how much coverage you’re getting for your investment. While some photographers might cap the number of photos they deliver, we take a different approach. We never put a limit on the number of images you’ll receive because we believe in capturing every moment that tells the story of your day. We go through all the photos and edit the best ones which usually turns out to be at least 600 images! This way, you get a comprehensive collection that covers every detail, from the big moments to the small, intimate ones you might not even remember happening.
4. What is your cancellation policy?
To lock in your wedding date, we require a non-refundable retainer or deposit. If circumstances change and you need to cancel, we do keep the retainer as compensation for lost work. We believe in transparency, so we encourage all our clients to fully understand these policies before signing, ensuring peace of mind for both parties.
5. Do you provide raw files?
We do not provide raw files, and here’s why: When you choose us as your photographers, you’re choosing our unique editing style, our personalities, and our approach to storytelling. Our editing process is a crucial part of our art and brand, something we’ve spent years perfecting. We pour our hearts into each image to reflect the emotions and atmosphere of your day, so the final gallery you receive is a true representation of our vision and your love story.
These questions are essential in helping you understand how we work and ensuring that we’re the perfect fit for your big day. By discussing these details upfront, we can set clear expectations and create a smooth, stress-free experience for you from start to finish.
