Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reserve my date? . . .
To reserve your date a non-refundable retainer of $1000 for our full wedding collections is required or for intimate weddings it is a 50% non-refundable retainer. This ensures that you reserve that date specifically for you and you can check finding a photographer off your list!
What if I have to reschedule or cancel my wedding? . . .
We try to be very accomidating and flexible especially if it's due to hurricane season. If you do have to reschedule for circumstances that are out of everyone's control like a hurricane we will work together to find a new date that we are avaialble on and we'll just transfer your wedding contract with no additonal charge. If you can cancel for personal reasons, the retainer is non-refundable but any payments not yet paid will not be due.
What is the Design Consultation? . . .
This is my favorite meeting after your wedding! About 2-3 weeks after your wedding, we’ll setup your design consultation in studio if you are local to Tampa Bay or zoom if you aren't. I’ll help guide you through in choosing the photos that best tell the story for your album, and any artwork. This is when you will get to spend the artwork credit that is equal to the full amount you spend on your collection. So if your wedding collection is $4990 you will have $4990 in artwork credit to spend during your design consultation. You can stick with that original amount and get beautiful artwork or you can spend as much as you would like.
What is included with the Complimentary Engagement Session and can I take it out? . . .
A complimentary engagement session is included with all our full wedding collections (I'll actually do one with our intimate collections too:-). It’s up to an hour session and we’ll help you choose location and style. The session and professional editing is included. Within a week after your session we'll do a design consultation similar to how we do the wedding and will Experience session and show you all the best photos, you’ll choose favorites and any artwork would be in addition (prints, an album, sign in book, save the dates, etc.) Anything you order in print the digital is included. If you don’t use the session, we don’t take anything out of the collection because any artwork is in addition so you lose the experience but not any artwork.
What kind of weddings do you do? . . .
We believe that love is love and each couple’s wedding story is important and unique to them. To us, ethnicity, race, gender, size, style, or anything else is what makes your moments and who you are so special and we welcome everyone.
If everything is inside do you provide lighting? . . .
We are very experienced in all types of lighting and bring flashes and static lighting sources with us to every wedding so we are prepared for any situation.
What if your camera breaks? . . .
As professional photographers, we have all backup equipment including extra camera bodies, lenses, batteries etc with us at all times so if there is an equipment failure you will never know about it!
What does Professional Editing mean? . . .
We photograph everything in color and then our graphic designer will give them a little love (color correct, brightness, black/white, blemishes, etc) so that everything you see is a beautiful finished product. We are photography, art, and design so our goal is to do everything related to those aspects for you.
My venue said all my vendors have to have a certificate of insurance, do you have that? . . .
YES! This is so important! We are a licensed and insured business and provide our certificate of insurance to anyone who requires it.
We are honored to be a preferred photographer at many venues in St. Petersburg and the Tampa Bay area.
Here’s just a few. Click on the venue logo below to see our work there.
