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.

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.
