FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I really try to work with clients when it comes to they're budget. However with that in mind I want to reiterate that you aren't just paying for the day, your paying for the hours your photographer will spend editing your pictures AFTER the wedding. So what may seem exspensive is really quite reasonable.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Its important to me to talk to my clients in person. Photography is extremely personal, it is important to get acquainted, to establish a rapport. This is especially important for weddings. Beyond that I shoot two cameras almost constantly, I shoot both zoom and prime lenses, I shoot raw. Which means to you the files aren't compressed, I then edit in Photoshop and Lightroom. Which are industry standard. After I have edited the images, they are Jpg. My shooting style is largely photojournalistic, but posed shots are just as important. My cardinal rule is to never stop shooting, I don't put away my camera, ever. My best shots are when no one thought I was looking, this is consistently true. These moments are wonderful and I always love disovering them. A major part of my work and one of the most time consuming parts, are work prints. I print my work to check the light and color. This is so important because LED screens make images appear brighter than they are when printed. It is imperative to ensure quality and workmanship.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended Texas State University as a Photography major. In my senior year I was forced to take a sabbatical due to a high risk pregnancy. Although I haven't yet graduated I am hoping to resume my studies and graduate sometime in the future. I work with Photoshop and Lightroom which are industry standard in photography.
