FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
When we were planning our own wedding, I HATED when vendors I liked didn't list a price and only said "call for more information". I like to be very up-front about my pricing, which is why I include everything on my website. I know I'm not the cheapest photographer on Thumbtack. But very honestly, I think photography is the most important investment you can make on your wedding day. Your photos will be one of the only tangible things left when it's over, and they'll be what you pass down to future generations. If you make that investment with me, I'll show you that my experience, skill, and genuine care for my clients is worth it.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I first like to speak over the phone or email to make sure the basics are a good match. Do you like my general style? Am I available on your date? If so, I like meeting people in person for a coffee (or beer) if possible. A lot of people are traveling to Colorado for their event, so sometimes that part has to be done via Skype. I have a few questions I like to ask, but mostly I just want to hear about you. What are your plans for the day? What are your personalities like? Are you extroverted and energetic, or more reserved and serious? What are you most looking forward to? It's really important to work with someone you feel like you'll be able to be yourself around during the wedding day, so I feel like this is an important chance for both of us to get a sense of whether this will be a good fit.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've attended several photography workshops, am active in quite a few photography forums and educational groups, have shot over 100 weddings, and have poured literally thousands of hours into practice, personal work, educational literature and videos, and professional competitions.
