Q: When will we be able to see our pictures?
A: You will receive your proofs approximately 2-3 weeks after the wedding date. |
Q: How does photo selection work?
A: You pick 20-30 of your favorites, and we'll do the rest. We select photos that tell the story of your wedding day and are chosen to flow naturally from the beginning untill the end. We will also include your set up/formal shots in a seperate group. we like to be creative and hopefully be in the right place at the right time to catch that "one special photo" so we are constantly moving around. We also take the standard wedding shots; WEDDING SHOT LIST. |
Q: Do you travel outside of the Savannah/Hilton Head Island area for wedding coverage, and are you available for destination weddings?
A: We are available to travel outside of our local areas, state, and even out of the country for destination weddings. Travel costs are based on your location, so please contact us at
912-963-0941 or 912-695-7611 and we will be happy to give you a customized quote. |
Q: When you choose the 250 4x6" prints that we receive as part of our wedding coverage, what is the content like?
A: We pick the best 250 shots from the entire amount of wedding day photos to include in your 4x6" prints. We typically choose them based on our idea of the best representation of your wedding story from the beginning until the end. Although there are times we do not include any 4"x6" prints of the formals group shot, please let us know before your wedding day if those are some of the shots you'd like to have included. You selected us based on our portfolio of work and our vision of the perfect wedding presentation. |
Q: Do you shoot digital or film? Can digital still make large prints?
A: We currently shoot in both traditional film (35mm and 645 formats) as well as the digital format using professional equipment. We feel that there are many technical advantages to both, although digital does allow us more control over the output quality of our images. We typically print anywhere from 4"x^6"to poster sized (20x30") prints from digital files. We have no qualms about the quality or detail we get from our images. Please contact us with any questions regarding larger prints than listed on our web site or any special print requests.

Q: Do we make payments or pay the full amount at contract signing? What types of payment do you accept?
A: You can certainly pay the full coverage fee at the time you return a signed contract and model release. However, we understand that a payment plan can be of added value and convenience to you. If you choose to pay in installments, as stated in our contract, we ask that one third of the total coverage fee is paid at the time of the contract signing. This amount is a non refundable retainer that assures that we reserve the date for your wedding and any other inquiry for that date is refused. The second payment of one third of the total cost is due 45 days before the wedding, with the final one third due two weeks before the wedding.
We accept cash, personal checks, cashier's checks and money orders. |
Q: Do you photograph any posed formal pictures or work from a shot list?
A: We're happy to work with you on the formals/group shots that you may want, however our approach to formals/group shots is short and sweet (approximately 20-30 minutes) as this allows you more time to be with your guests and enjoy your wedding day. |

Q: Do we have to pay for our high resolution digital files? And, what does it mean when your contract states that you retain the copyrights to the images?
A: Your high resolution digital files are yours to keep and are included in our coverage. Your DVD of high resolution files will be available to you upon delivery of your album or 6 months after the wedding date.
Your DVD of high resolution files comes with limited term use release, which allows you to make reprints to share with friends and family; however we do retain the copyrights to all of the images captured. This means that according to United States copyright law, all images taken by a professional photographer are copyrighted by that photographer and the photographer owns all rights to them. {17 USC 106.} Since we hold the copyrights to all images captured, you will not be allowed to use the images or negatives for any reason other than private personal use. |
Q: What if I want an item that is not included on your pricing page?
A: If you don't see an item in our pricing page that you'd like us to include or get for you, please don't hesitate to call us and we'll find a way to make it happen. |
