Our team stays with you, to capture every single moment of your entire wedding celebration, for up to 8 (eight) hours. No matter what experiential package you select, we respect your wedding experience.
Is your Photographer’s Assistant/Aid a second shooter/photographer?
The individual’s title is “lighting assistant.” They assist the photographer in achieving the desired lighting and know how to handle the equipment. They are responsible for attending to details during the photography session, which includes assessing the gear required for the next shot, anticipating the photographer’s needs, and being readily available to fulfill any request.
What is the total number of digital keepsakes we receive?
When it comes to our wedding photography experience, we want to ensure you receive the best possible outcome. Therefore, there is no minimum or maximum limit on the number of images you will receive. If we present 100 pictures, you will receive 100 pictures; if we present 9,000 pictures, then you will receive 9,000 pictures. This way, we aim to make you feel completely satisfied with the results of our photography services.
Who designs our wedding day schedule? Is it me?
Slow down! You have enough to worry about. We actually require that we chat with you over the phone prior to the wedding to design your schedule. Even if you have a wedding planner, let us be the mastermind behind your day of events. Let’s face it, amazing videos and captivating photographs are the tangible keepsakes from your special wedding day. So, why not let us help you make it unforgettable?

When can I expect my photography team to arrive?
So the photography team is gonna show up fashionably early, like 30-60 minutes before the scheduled start time. We can’t pinpoint the exact moment they’ll arrive because we work around your ceremony schedule. But hey, if you’re curious, the team usually starts snapping pics about 3 or 4 hours before the big moment.
Do you have a backup photography team?
If a rare case arises, we have access to a backup photography team. In the past, a backup was utilize once when our owner unexpectedly gave birth two days prior to a captivating wedding celebration. Many couples are concerned with the reliability of vendors, and we encourage you to ask this question of all potential wedding vendors you meet. Rest assured that we take the responsibility of capturing your special day very seriously and have taken all necessary precautions to ensure the availability and readiness of our primary and backup photography teams.
How long does it take to receive our precious memories?
We prioritize returning your photographs to you in a timely manner. We understand the eagerness to see your captivating photographs. Rushing the quality of your photographs is unprofessional of us. Generally, we aim to have them back to you in no more than 12 weeks. If possible, we can have them ready in as early as 8 weeks. However, this may vary depending on the time of year and the quantity of moments captured.
Note: Fall and winter weddings are in our busiest seasons. Holiday may also effect the delivery date.
Note: You won’t receive your printed keepsakes immediately, since we will have to finish the editing process first, and you will have to pick them.
How do we proceed with reserving your photography team for our wedding celebration?
After having a chat with us during your complimentary consultation and feeling confident that we can capture all the captivating moments of your wedding, the next step would be to select a package that suits your needs, place a retainer for our photography team, and sign the contract.

If you’re planning an Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana wedding while living out of state, don’t worry. We require a consultation to prevent scams, which unfortunately happen quite often. However, we’re happy to make things as easy as possible for you by setting up a Zoom or Skype meeting. After that, everything will proceed normally until your wedding day. Thank goodness for technology!

Regarding travel fees, we can provide you with an estimate which may be subject to change closer to the wedding date based on economic factors.
Can you accommodate military couple’s needs and restrictions?
When a couple informs us that one or both significant others are serving our country, we express our utmost gratitude. We understand that serving in the military can be an arduous task, and we stand in support of you.

Our team takes the necessary steps to ensure that we adhere to restrictions when photographing in military attire.
