Do you travel to shoot weddings out of your area?
We continue to shoot throughout California and across the globe. Traveling to new locations is something we enjoy greatly and embrace new photographic opportunities at every turn.
Do you photograph elopement weddings?
YES! We love being a part of a couples elopement and treat it differently than a full wedding. Please call us for details.
What type of deposit do I need to secure my date?
We require a twenty-five percent non-refundable deposit to secure your date. Fifty percent of the total is due seven days before the wedding, with the remaining twenty-five percent due after viewing online proofs or highlight video. The final product will be sent after receiving the last payment.
What is your style?
This is difficult to pinpoint because we don't fit into pigeon holes. While it comes closest to Editorial Photography, we blend the style of modern portraiture with the spontaneity of photojournalism. We want you to feel relaxed and also have fun during your wedding day. Some of our photos are posed, but not the same tired looks of yesteryear.
How many photos will I receive?
A typical wedding yields over 800 images. We do not place a limit on the number of images taken during the day.
What is the turn around time?
All images will be made available for online proofing and print purchase within four weeks of the event. Production time for our finished products such as prints and albums do vary, please call for details.
What size are the image in the low resolution disc?
The images available on our disc of low resolution images are 1800x1200 pixels. This size is perfect for web use as well as making 4x6 or 5x7 prints.
How much does your photography cost?
We have complete wedding collections starting at $4,200. Please contact us for more details.
What is the Crazybooth?
The Crazybooth is a new way to get photos of all of your wedding guests that you never thought was possible. This is the chance to capture the party side of yor wedding. It's one part photo booth and two parts crazy. Then we take the photos and make prints right at your wedding so your guests can sign one and keep one. It's just plain fun. Click here for more examples.
Do you Photoshop your images?
Yes and no. We believe Photoshop is a tool and not a crutch, so we do everything possible to take the photograph correctly in the camera so we do not have to use Photoshop. The vast majority of our photographs never require any Photoshop work because of this approach. However, we do use Photoshop as a tool and often plan out complex photographs that are only possible because of Photoshop.
I still have a question...
