FAQ

‘There”s probably a lot of questions you would want to ask but didn”t have the time to send me an email? Well, I”ve listed a few below just to help get you started. Feel free to contact me if you have other questions other than the ones below.

How would you identify your photographic style?

We shoot mostly photojournalistic and a little bit of traditional. We have been called “ninja” photographers as we are rarely seen hovering around the bride & groom. It”s their day so we make sure the friends and relatives get to see them instead of us.

Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?

We rarely do any Photoshop retouching. We do enhance the colors a bit and also conversions to B&W/Sepia depending on the overall style and feel.

Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?

We are experienced in all types of lighting although we prefer not to use flash as much as possible.

Is your media preference film or digital?

We are all digital. Go Green!

How many photographers do you work with?

We have two photographers: One for small weddings, Two for larger weddings  Of course additional fees would apply for the second photographer.

Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
