A:  I do not have a limit on the photos I take, which allows more freedom for creativity. I take as many as necessary to cover your entire day. This allows me to get exactly what you're looking for in your wedding albums for posed photos with all family/wedding party  as well as candid and romantic/creative photos of the bride and groom.

Q:  Do you book more than one wedding on the same day?

A:  No. Once a date is booked, you have me for that day. I only book one wedding at a time so I can devote as much time as necessary to both of you and your photos.

Q:  How much time should we allow for our formal photographs? Should we do them after the wedding ceremony?

A:  This is probably one of the most important questions and the most underestimated. Try to allow lots of extra time for unexpected things. Weddings are hectic and sometimes things don't go exactly as planned. So allowing the extra time for the 'unexpected' will no doubt leave you more relaxed at the end your day.

If you have enough time, try to schedule the formal photographs between the ceremony and reception. You should allow about 2 hours between the ceremony and reception. For instance if the wedding is at 4pm, then having the reception at 6pm is good. Or even better would be to have the reception at 7pm. This allows lots of time for those much loved formal photographs with family and the wedding party along with intimate shots of the bride and groom alone. It also allows enough time to get all the shots you want without being rushed to get to the reception.

If there is not enough time to do the photos in between the ceremony and reception, we may be able to schedule a time before the wedding ceremony for the bride and groom photos, and then between the ceremony and reception we can do all the formal shots with family and the wedding party.

So allowing lots of time will leave you more relaxed, as well, you'll have much better photos when the photographer is not rushed *S*

Q: We're not sure what we would require for photographs. Can you help us decide which photos to take for our wedding?

A: Of course. Just send an email to me with a little information about the two of you, why you choose your wedding dress, etc, what people you want in the photographs. I have list of suggestions which I can send you.

Q:  How many locations can we go to during our photography session if our wedding location isn't very photogenic?

A: We can go to any location in the Moncton, Dieppe, Riverview, and Shediac areas as time allows for the package you chose. For instance, if you have booked the half day package, then we have up to 5 hours for photographs.

Q: Our wedding is being held outside of your areas mentioned. Would you still be able to photograph our wedding and would it cost more?

A: Depending on the wedding date, I may be able to go outside of the normal areas. Traveling cost would be above the wedding package price. 

Traveling expenses are estimated as to what I would pay to travel to your wedding; hotel, gas, food, etc.

Q: Do you shoot film or digital? Can we have our choice?

A: I shoot digital for weddings, however if you wish to have your wedding photographs created on film, I have a backup film camera that I can use for your wedding. You just say the word :)

Q: Do you require a deposit in order to reserve our wedding date?

A:  I normally require a minimum of $150 - $400 down in advance of your wedding in order to reserve the date you want, depending on which package you choose. The balance is to be paid at least 2 weeks before the wedding day.

If outside traveling is involved, the full payment is required at least 1 month before the wedding date.

Q: How long does it take for us to receive the photos?

A: Where I shoot digital, it takes anywhere from 1 week to 6 weeks depending on how large your wedding is (how many photos were taken), and if it is in the busy season. Usually I will have your online proofs ready for you to view and choose the ones you want within 1 to 2 weeks of the wedding day. I will email or phone you with a web link to view your online proofs. Each photo will have a number with it for you to choose which ones you want for your prints and enlargements.

Q:  How much notice do you require in order to reserve the date we want?

A:  That depends on the time of year. A minimum 5 to 6 months or more in advance would be normal. More time may be required if it's in peak season (summer and autumn). However if you are in a rush, I may be available to photograph your wedding in as little as one months notice if I do not have another wedding on that date. Contact me as soon as possible to work out the details.

Q:  Do you shoot colour or black & white? Can we have our choice?

A:  I normally shoot in colour, however if you specifically ask me to shoot only in black & white for your wedding, that's no problem as long as I know ahead of time.

Also any photograph/s taken at your wedding can be transformed into black & white later for your prints.
