FAQs

DO WE NEED A SECOND SHOOTER?

This is totally dependent on the photographer. We’re personally very comfortable shooting solo, and sometimes it’s even better so as not to have too many “cooks in the kitchen”. This is especially something to consider if you have videographer(s) because it can start to feel a lot like paparazzi really quickly and take away from the moment. I will say though, having a second shooter can be beneficial, if there is just a lot going on in different places at the same time. We’re happy to help you understand if having a second shooter would benefit your vision or not!

WHAT’S YOUR TURNAROUND?

We deliver your photos in no less than 2 months and feature films no less than 6 months. We always strive to exceed expectations, and we usually do, but it also depends on the time of year and the workload we currently have.

WHAT’S YOUR RETAINER TO BOOK YOU?

Retainer amounts vary depending on the type/length of the shoot, what kind of travel is involved and the date of the event. You can expect a retainer to be $1-3k to reserve us for your event.

Q: HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?

Timeless, punchy, honest.

Q: HOW MANY HOURS DO WE NEED A PHOTOGRAPHER FOR?

Not all weddings are structured the same, so it’s best to consult us on what would best suit your plans. Generally speaking, for traditional weddings we think 7-9 hours is sufficient in most cases. The important piece is that we want to make sure we are there for more than the “highlight” moments. We want to tell a robust story from your day so sometimes that means being there longer than you may think.

Q: What is documentary photography?

To us, documentary (or story-telling) photography is about being in the moment, without disrupting it. it starts with establishing trust and rapport between you and your guests and ourselves. Without trust there is zero vulnerability and that’s the key to documenting unadulterated moments and story. We strive to balance the line of being a guest and a fly on the wall.

Q: DO YOU TRAVEL and if so, what does that cost?

We definitely love to travel. We each take on 3-5 traveling shoots each year. Sky is the limit so if you have something in mind we absolutely want to hear it. Cost is pretty dependent on the where, when and how factors. We are very low maintenance and definitely do not try to gauge our clients with over the top travel fees, but we do need to make sure our overhead and time is accounted for.
