Do we give you a "shot list"
You can if it helps you in the planning of your day. I will always do my best to capture anything you want but with wedding photography a lot depends on location, quality of light and TIME. No shots are guaranteed.
Is it cheaper if I get the unedited images and edit them myself?
Editing is part of what makes my style mine and part of the reason my clients hire me. I do not release unedited images.
Will I be able to see the images that didn't get edited?
I do not release unedited images. The images that are selected for your gallery are selected because they meet my standards of my final product. Please know that if an image does not make to your gallery then it was either a duplicate, very similar to another photo, or truly an outtake. If it didn't make the cut then it is deleted from my hard drives and gone forever.
How many pictures do we get?
I do not offer a guarantee of a certain number of images. The number of images you receive will depend on a variety of things such as how long I am hired to photograph, whether or not you add a second photographer to your day, how much time is given for photography among other things.
Will you hold my date for me?
I can not hold a date without a retainer fee and a signed contract. If someone else contacts me for you date and they are ready to pay then they I will book them for the day.
