Photography FAQ
How long have you been in business?
We’ve been photographing weddings professionally since 1999.
How would you describe your photography style?
We blend a Film Based approach to Traditional, Editorial and Photojournalistic photography to document your day in a timeless manor. We then add a touch of Vintage, Fine Art, Light & Bright, Dark & Moody according to your vision for your day.
How would you describe your working style?
When we are taking portraits our teams give direction and orchestrate your day. When we are at the Ceremony or Reception we should barely be noticed if at all.
What type of equipment do you use?
Cannon, Nikon or Sony. More importantly, we use primarily full frame professional grade cameras and lenses.
Do you shoot in RAW format or JPEG?
All photos are captured in RAW format to allow for the best possible editing and are converted to JPEG afterward for ease of use for you.
Can I give you a list of specific shots we would like?
Yes, though we will meet with you prior to your wedding to make sure we fully understand your family dynamics and customize your family photo list for you. Additional suggestions for poses or styles are also welcome.
May I have a list of references?
Of course we can. However, this is a bit of an outdated request with all of the available online reviews such as The Knot, Wedding Wire, and Google. Any photographer's list of references will surely include nothing but extremely satisfied couples. At least with online reviews they have much less control over it.
How much of a reservation fee do you require and when is it due? Do you offer a payment plan?
We are always flexible to make a payment plan. If not, out standard payments are three payments (30%deposit, 50% month of wedding, 20% photo pick up).
What is your refund/cancellation policy if need to change or cancel my date?
Reservation Fees are non refundable but can be used as a credit toward a future date or other photography needs. There are no rebooking fees unless you move to a prime Saturday (May, June, September, October). Off season discounts do not apply to a new in season date.
Do you have liability insurance?
Yes.
Is sales tax included in the price.
No. Though many vendors do include the tax it is not legal to do so. According to Ohio state sales tax law, photography is considered a product and not a service and is subject to sales tax on 100% of the package amount. To include sales tax requires a special permit intended for street vendors and such.
