Hours of Coverage
Photography coverage depends on your needs. Keep in mind your wedding day is so much more than just taking photos. In our experience, it is best to start wedding coverage at least 2 hours before the ceremony with coverage ending at least an hour before reception ends. For example if ceremony starts at 6 pm, getting ready coverage starts at 4 and ending with reception coverage at 10 pm. This is essentially a 6 hour package. It is not necessary to have a photographer at the salon or with your make up artist. Most of those photos where everyone is not dressed in their wedding attire and with no make up are typically not included in the finished album.
One or Two Photographers
Having two photographers on hand for your wedding day allows us to capture all the must have photos along with spontaneous candids through out the day. We can work efficiently to get all necessary photos in a short amount of time. Most weddings we can have a photographer with the bride and another with the groom until we start group photos.
Wedding Photography Style
Our approach is quite simple and most couples find it appealing. We utilize both traditional and photo-journalistic styes of wedding photography. We use two photographers for most of our packages. Simply put, we pay close attention to details and poses on your must have photographs without missing the candid and spontaneous moments of your wedding day.
Online Proofs
Online proofs are ready within 4 weeks of your wedding. You will be provided an event ID to access your photos for viewing, ordering and selecting images for your wedding album.
Charges for Multiple Locations
We do not charge for multiple locations. Our goal is capturing beautiful images so we can effective tell a story of your special day. We will gladly go to places that would enhance those images. Keep in mind time restrictions and the itinerary of your day.
Digital Files
Most of our packages include a USB flash drive with Hi-Res images with copyright release. The flash drive contains all images as show in the online proofs. We do not release the USB flash drive until clients have approved their album layout design. The album layout design is included on the USB flash drive for safe keeping.
Album Production Timeline
Allow 4 weeks to edit wedding images and create online proof gallery. Allow 3 weeks for album layout design once images have been selected. Once you approve album design it takes between 6-8 weeks for album printing. The album design and printing is a labor of love. Most albums are printed in Italy and we want to ensure the best quality possible.
