HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL I RECEIVE?
Typically for any wedding clients receive between 75-100 photos per hour of shooting. We go through a process of culling your images, so you get the best of the best! For a 10 hour wedding you can expect betweem 750-1000 images.
For portrait sessions, we offer a few different options for you to choose from!
CAN I GIVE YOU A LIST OF SPECIFIC SHOTS THAT I LIKE?
Absolutely! Pinterest is awesome for this. We love when clients share their photography vision with us. We take your vision or a pose and allow the photos to organically grow from there.
DO I HAVE RIGHTS TO THE DIGITAL IMAGES?
Yes! This was really important for us when choosing our wedding photographer so we do the same for you. You are able to print your photos through a printer of your choice. Of course, we believe that a beautiful photograph is best showcased with professional lab services. We use Richard Photo Lab for our printing services and have never been unsatisfied. We can customize a package that includes prints for you, or you can purchase a la carte after your wedding or session!
DO YOU USE A 2ND SHOOTER, BACKUP CAMERA, & HAVE LIABILITY INSURANCE?
Yes, yes, and yes! Weddings ALWAYS have a 2nd shooter. This ensures a variety of perspectives to capture your day. Depending on the portrait or family session, Clay or Laura (or both!) will photograph.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
For wedding photos, you will receive a sneak peek within a week, and the online gallery will be delivered within 4-6 weeks from your wedding.
For portrait sessions, you will receive a sneak peek within 3 days, and the online gallery within 2-3 weeks from your session.
WHY DON’T I GET A CD/ DVD?
With new technology comes progress, right? (The new Mac Books don’t even have a CD slot, so we knew we had to do something different.) We have started using an online gallery/ sharing site that we absolutely love love love- called PASS. We upload your photos, and the beauty is you can download the images (and yes, they are high res, just like you would get on a CD/ DVD!) immediately from the site. And…they are online for 10 years!
The even better news? You can share your photos with your friends, Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Great Aunt Betty and they can download images themselves too! No copying of DVDs, no emailing photos, no extra cost to buy a CD/DVD to share your images with others, and no trips to the Post Office. You have control. And of course, since we’re in the age of social media, PASS makes it super easy to post your beautiful images to sites like Facebook and Pinterest. We can’t say enough about it, and the best part is, you’ll get your photos delivered faster 😉
WILL ALL OF MY PHOTOS BE EDITED?
Every photo we give to our clients goes through some kind of editing for exposure, color correction, giving it that extra punch, or to take out that funky sign in the background that just shouldn’t be there. As far as black and white photos, we use our creative eye to determine if a photo should be in black and white as well as color. Most of the time as soon as we see a photo we know if it should be in black and white.
CAN I ASK YOU TO MAKE A PHOTO BLACK AND WHITE?
Absolutely. You have up to 10 conversions if you would like any changes, anything additional is billed per hour.
DO YOU MAKE ALBUMS?
Yes! We love creating albums for our clients! Album designs are done in house by Clay and Laura, and a digital copy sent to the client to review. This collaborative process ensures your album is presented to you exactly as you envision it. We use Leather Craftsmen for printing and binding the album (a company that has been around forever!) and they produce beautiful albums that will last your lifetime and beyond. Album designs include family session albums, parent albums, sign in albums, wedding albums, and much more.
