  • What makes you different from other photographers?
    My focus is you and your wedding day dreams! I am not only documenting your day but I strive to know you on a deeper level , allowing me to understand what makes you and your partner who you are, the things you love and the visions that you have dreamt up! My approach to documenting your day starts with connection, followed by your uniqueness and the raw emotions, extreme laughter, eager smiles and immense love. I am rooted deeply in serving others and I believe that you and your day deserve to be captured authentically and honorably.
  • How do you protect and take care of our photos and film?
    On your wedding day I carry multiple camera bodies and lenses to ensure that I am able to capture all moments, the additional camera bodies and lenses guarantee that if one were to malfunction I have an additional ready to go so that zero moments are missed. Your images and footage are recorded to dual cards the entire day so that I have two copies of each moment captured. I also carry additional SD cards, as well as batteries and their chargers. While most of the extras stay packed in my camera bag, at all times of the day I carry extra SD cards and Batteries in my on person fanny pack allowing me to exchange out if necessary without needing to visit my bag frequently. Once I depart your wedding I take the SD cards with your images and footage on them and back them up onto two external hard drives, and the raw images and footage are kept on the dual SD cards until I have delivered your final gallery! Your moments are important to me and my promise to you is that I am taking the best care of them at all times!
  • How do I secure my wedding date and how much is the retainer fee?
    To reserve your requested date and services, I require a 25% non refundable retainer and a signed wedding contract. Once these have been completed your wedding is reserved and I am so ecstatic to be documenting your love story and all of the sentimental moments that come with your day! * Once your contract and invoice is sent you will have 48 hours to submit the retainer and signed contract back before the requested date is released onto my calendar as available. I understand that this is a huge commitment and investment and I do not take that lightly, however I like to be fair to others that may be waiting to potentially reserve that requested date as well.
  • What do you consider your editing style?
    I am a storyteller, I want your story to come to life through timeless images & captivating films. My goal is to always achieve edits that have creamy warmth while staying true to color, each gallery and film will also feature silky black and white edits as well.

Things like the size of your wedding, number of guests, time allotted for photographing/filming , locations, travel time between locations etc.. all of these can be factors of how many images are captured and how long your final film will be.

  • If you are unable to make it to our wedding what do we do?
    Please note : I am usually only unavailable if it is due to an extreme illness or emergency and in some cases due to weather permitted issues. If I am unable to cover your wedding or elopement { a pre set event } I will send an associate photographer /videographer that I have trained and works under me or a photographer/videographer that I work with with regularly and trust to give you the same experience you would be getting directly from me. The associate will capture your wedding, however editing and communication will still be completed by Bethany Sanny Photo and Film!

I only charge rescheduling fees if rescheduling is requested within 90 days of your wedding date. Rescheduling fees are non refundable and are 15% of the final collection price.

At this time I do not offer discounts to collections and packages that are prebuilt however I do offer custom packages that can be tailored to your budget! Thank you for trusting me to document your love story!
  • Do you do cosmetic editing & altering?
    PHOTOGRAPHY>> I do soft retouches of images but I do not do major cosmetic photoshopping such as altering bodies or personal appearances... Soft retouches include smoothing of skin and wrinkles, minor blemish removals, background object removals, makeup fixes, etc.... VIDEOGRAPHY>> Post production for filming is very different from photography editing. While I can smooth and blur footage in a small amount I can not remove unwanted items, or blemishes. Video footage is much harder to manipulate than imagery is. If there is something that you may be self conscious about please communicate these with me and I will pay close attention while filming to try and avoid these certain things.
  • Do you have a list of vendor recommendations if we need help finding any wedding services?
    Yes absolutely, I adore so many vendors!
  • Do you deliver RAW images?
    Simply put, no! I do not deliver raw images to my clients , many people ask why and my response is always that raw images do not show the true quality of the work that I produce or represent the uniqueness and creativity of my editing! More than likely you have hired me because of the work I have produced and showcased across my social media as well as my website, I promise that your images will be a reflection of that too! A significant part of being a photographer is the editing process and how unique it is to each photographer! The reason a client chooses a specific photographer is usually because they enjoy the photographers editing style / approach to capturing those images. The editing process is different for everyone, and I adore how my clients trust me enough to edit their photos according to my own creative direction. In addition raw files are large in size and often take additional softwares for viewing. If you have concerns about your final production please let me know so that we can resolve any issues.
  • What if we do not plan to do private or personal vows? How will this affect our wedding film?
    I always recommend some sort of personal audio to add into your film... a huge part of a wedding film is the chosen audio! If you would prefer to not add those personal touches, the audio included in your film is typically a musical background track as well as ceremony / vow audio, and can include audio from first looks, speeches, exits etc... I think having audio from personal moments such as handwritten vows, or the reading of notes written to each other can give an audio track the perfect amount of sentiment and emotion.
  • What makes you different from other photographers and videographers?

I am not only documenting your session but I strive to know you on a deeper level , allowing me to understand what makes you / your partner or family who you are, the things you love and the visions that you have dreamt up!
