FAQ | Weddings

Q: Can I keep my photos?

A: Yes. You will receive a

DVD or thumb drive

containing all of the

photographs shot on your

wedding day and you will

be granted full usage

rights from the

photographer. This means

you may do with them as

you please for personal

use at no additional cost.

You can print them, post

them to the photo-sharing

websites (Facebook, Flickr,

Snapfish, etc.) and email

them to family and

friends.

Corporate D Photography

retains the copyright on all

photographs.

Q: Are the photographs on

my DVD proofs?

A: No. The photographs

on your DVD are edited,

finished photographs, not

unedited proofs directly

off my camera. This is an

important difference.  I

review every photograph

making minor

adjustments as needed.

Each image is post-

processed, color-corrected

and polished using the

latest professional

software. You can expect

to receive color, black &

white, sepia, color-toned

and photo-manipulated

photographs of your

wedding day on your DVD.

Q: How soon will I get my

DVD?

A: The DVD will be

packaged and mailed to

you 3-4 weeks after your

wedding day.

Q: What kind of

equipment do you use?

A: I use professional

Canon digital DSLR bodies,

Canon professional

speedlights and Canon L-

series lenses. These are

Canon's finest

professional lenses. I have

back-ups of every piece of

camera equipment. I

process all of my

photographs on current

computers using Adobe

Lightroom, Photoshop

and other professional

photography software. I

use a color-managed

workflow for highly

accurate color. I invest

regularly to stay current

on camera equipment,

computer

equipment/software and

education to insure you

receive very high quality

photographs.

I am a Photoshop

Professional.

Q: Is a deposit required to

hold my wedding date?

A: Yes. A deposit of $500 is

required to hold your

wedding date. The deposit

amount applies toward

your final contracted fee.

The deposit amount is

non-refundable. I can

accept payment in cash or

check or credit card.

Q: When is my final

payment due?

A: Your final payment is

due on or before your

wedding day. Many

people choose to make

multiple smaller payments

in the months leading up

to their wedding day. I can

accept payment in cash or

check or credit card.

Q: What happens after I

pay my deposit?

Once I receive your

deposit, I will acknowledge

receipt of the deposit in

writing via email and book

your date. You will also

receive a helpful list of

common wedding day

photos. This will help you

start thinking about the

photographs you will want

on your wedding day.

Next, you must determine

what services, if any, you

wish to add on your

wedding day. At that point

I will prepare a contract

for you to review/sign.

About one month before

your wedding day, I will

contact you to schedule a

planning meeting. At the

meeting we will discuss,

plan and outline a

photography schedule

and locations for your

wedding day, which you

can pass along to your

wedding party and family

members. At the

conclusion of this

meeting, your

photography-related

responsibilities are

complete and I will take

care of the rest.

Q: How far in advance are

you booked?

A: I am usually booked 6-

12 months in advance.

The months of April, May,

June, August, September

and October book quickly.

Q: Is your wedding

package flexible?

A: Yes. My goal is to help

you find a wedding

package that fits your

needs and budget. Please

call me if you have

questions about my

wedding photography

packages/services or don't

see what you're looking

for.

Q:  What is your

photography style?

A: I shoot primarily

photojournalism and

lifestyle photography –

candid, unposed

moments capturing the

flow of events and details

of your wedding day. I also

shoot in a more traditional

style of wedding

photography for group

and portrait photos. Most

couples want a

combination of both

styles. I will guide and

offer creative ideas and

suggestions as we plan

your wedding

photography and

throughout your wedding

day, but never be

obtrusive.

Q: How many

photographs will you

take?

A: Every wedding package

includes unlimited

photographs, generally

80-100 photographs

per/hour of coverage.

Q: What if I want a second

photographer at my

wedding?

A: My assistant works

closely with me to provide

a second photographer

for your wedding. There is

an additional charge.

Q: Can you take our

wedding photos

somewhere other than

the

church/ceremony/receptio

n location?

A: Yes, I do this with many

couples and many find

this to be one of the most

enjoyable parts of their

day. We can plan and

schedule time to shoot

your wedding photos

virtually anywhere you

have in mind. Or, I can

suggest one of the many

unique locations in central

Florida. I have scouted,

including outdoor, urban,

warehouse, natural and

parkland settings. I will

work with you to design a

session that fits your

personality and desire.

Q: When is it best to

schedule our engagement

portrait?

A: Engagement portraits

can be scheduled anytime

in the months before your

wedding. I shoot

engagement portraits on

location. I have scouted

and shoot in many unique

locations in central

Florida, including outdoor,

urban, warehouse, natural

and parkland settings. I

will work with you to

design a session that fits

your personality and

desire. The session lasts

for 1 hour and includes an

online proof gallery and

an 8x10 framed print.

Q: Wedding albums are

not included in your

package. Are they

available?

A: Yes. Wedding albums

are available in both the

traditional style and

contemporary storybook

style. Album prices range

from $300 - $3,000. I will

work with you to develop

a custom wedding album

to fit your budget. Albums

can be ordered at anytime

in the months and years

after your wedding.

Q: What happens if it rains

on my wedding day?

A: We will develop an

alternative plan in case of

rain when we meet prior

to your wedding day to

plan your wedding

photography.

Q: Other than the website,

do you have additional

samples of your wedding

photography?

A: Yes. Many additional

samples can be viewed. I

encourage you to

schedule a time to meet

with me and view my

work.

Q: When do you typically

meet with clients?

A: I am available by

appointment during the

business day, evenings or

weekends. Please call or

email to schedule an

appointment.

Q: Do you photograph

out-of-town weddings?

A: Yes. I am available for

travel worldwide.

Q: Do you charge for

travel?

A: There is no charge for

travel within central

Florida. For weddings

outside central Florida, I

will work with you to

determine the appropriate

fee to cover my travel

expenses.
