Is there a retainer fee?
Yes, I require a $500, non-refundable, retainer to hold your wedding date. The remaining balance is due in full 3 weeks before your ceremony.

How long will it take to get my pictures back?
For weddings, you will receive your pictures in 4 weeks from the ceremony. For all other sessions you will receive your prints in 2 weeks.

Do I require a fee for travel?
Yes, I do charge additionally for travel. If you are an hour away from me, then there will be a travel charge of 40. per mile.

Do you take posed photos?
Yes, I do include posed photos, although I prefer a time limit of 45 minutes. I do not bring back drops with me I prefer to use the natural surroundings. Peoplae are more comfortable in a natural surrounding and are going to be more comfortable. When you put someone in a posed setting they seem to tense up more, I like to approach portraits in a natural setting.

What kind of equipment do you use?
I use all professional Canon equipment. I also use Nikon digital equipment as well.

How many pictures do you take on the wedding day?
I take anywhere from100 to 150 images on your day. Depending on the length of day, and size of the wedding.

Do I get to keep my negatives?
Absolutely! You will receive a CD of your negatives. You can reprint your photos as you wish from this disk. This way you can get the size prints you want and save. What is nice about this is that once you recieve them you can take them anywhere and have any size prints and amounts made up with out waiting, the time is all up to you.

Do you come to the reception?
I attend your reception for the first hour. All the photos that I take at the reception are of the cake cutting, toasting the bride and the groom, the first dance, mother and son, father and daughter dance. These are the only true posed photos I will take outside the normal posed traditional portraits of your wedding. These will take place immediately when the bride and groom arrive.
