Q & A

What type of photography do you do?

I covers weddings in a journalistic casual style with some formals through out the day.
My images reflect your personality, by anticipating moments, tears. and laughter. I also believe that there is a time and place for gorgeous, casually posed images of the bride and groom together .
I also want to preserve all of the details of the wedding; from your shoes to your cake.

What kind of equipment do you use?
Top of the line professional Canon equipment and extensive backups.

How long have you been in business and how many weddings have you photographed?
I’ve been in business since 2003 and has photographed hundreds of weddings.

If we decide we want you for our wedding, when should we book you?
ASAP. I can’t “hold” your date, a retainer and singed contract is required to book us. Most of our clients book within a year of the wedding date, sometimes as close as two months prior, sometimes a few years in advance.

How long does it take to get our images & products.
Online galleries are posted within 3 weeks of the wedding date. Printed photos and the digital files are available within 3 weeks of the wedding date.
Upon final approval of album designs most albums are ready for delivery within 4 weeks.

How many images do we get?

The number of photographs taken depends on many things – hours of coverage, types of events. Weddings are unlimited images.

Do we get the negatives?
Yes, I do provide edited high-res digital files for you to share and print. I only remove the clunkers and repeats.
I do retain the copyright to the images and the right to use them for promotional purposes, competition, and so on.

Do you edit images?
Yes, I do. Every image has been edited, I often selects a few for special attention above and beyond the individual image editing.

Based out of Yorkton, SK, I photograph weddings all over Canada, as well as destination weddings.

Travel fee depends on how far you are. If airfare , motel and rental car are needed , you are responsible for is a reimbursement for the charges.

Do you do engagement session?
Yes, I do offer a engagement session with all of our collections, and I highly encourage it.

booking fee/retainer and taxes is due to reserve your date, it is non refundable . The remainder is due the 5 weeks prior to your wedding.

Do you take posed family poses?
Absolutely. The groupings are quick, easy, and largely informal and I try to make them enjoyable for everyone involved!

Do we get raw unedited images and files
?
No, the images selected for editing and final delivery reflect our very high standards and everything else is not archived.

Can we see all the images and all the images that didn’t make “the final cut”
Please know that when “editing” we’re not striving to hit some number of images to deliver and throwing out “good” pictures. The images not selected are not archived and not available.

Do you come to Rehearsal dinner?
Rehearsal dinner coverage is available if you’d like to add it to your collection; otherwise I do not attend the rehearsals.

Can you hold the date for me?

I’m sorry, but I can’t hold the date or pencil you in. I accept bookings on a first come/first served basis.

What happens if I have to cancel my wedding?
The retainer and any additional Administration fees are non-refundable. The retainer guarantees that we will hold the date exclusively for you and once you’ve signed the contract we do turn down all other commissions for that date.

If we run into overtime, will you stay?
Yes, I do have an overtime rate and it goes into effect only with your permission and approval that we continue coverage. I will bill you for those hours after the wedding.

Do you discount for off season weddings & events?
Occasionally discounts are available but are based on time of year, our schedule, and availability.

Do I provide you with a meal at the reception?
Yes, I prefer to be fed when your are eating, this way when you’re done, I am also , this way we can continue with the coverage.
