FAQ
Do you travel for destination weddings?
Absolutely! Documenting destination weddings is our specialty. Our Destination Collections include travel expenses within the continental US, with custom travel packages created for international celebrations. We arrive 2-3 days before your first documented event to adjust to time zones, scout locations, and ensure seamless coverage throughout your celebration.
Do you help with planning our session?
Yes! We provide comprehensive guidance for all sessions. This includes location recommendations, timing for optimal light, wardrobe consultation, and posing direction that feels natural. For destination sessions, we research permit requirements and timing restrictions in advance. Our goal is creating authentic imagery that reflects who you truly are—whether for portraits, couples, engagements, or wedding-related photography.
What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
Your booking retainer (25% of the package price) is non-refundable as it reserves your date exclusively. For cancellations more than 6 months before the wedding, no additional payments are due. Cancellations between 6 months and 30 days require payment of 50% of the total. For date changes, we'll accommodate if available, with a small administrative fee for destination weddings to cover travel rearrangements.
Do you offer digital files, prints, or albums?
All collections include high-resolution digital files delivered through an online gallery with personal printing rights. We offer museum-quality prints through professional labs that are easily ordered through your online gallery. These labs ensure accurate color reproduction and archival longevity. Albums are handcrafted using premium materials with custom design options available. Film negatives are archived and available for future reproductions.
Do you have backup equipment and contingency plans?
Absolutely! We approach every session and wedding with multiple camera bodies, lenses, lighting equipment, and memory cards to ensure technical redundancy. For weddings, we implement comprehensive contingency planning including weather alternatives, timeline buffers, and backup systems for every critical component. Particularly for destination celebrations in Tulum, we arrive early to scout locations, prepare for various lighting conditions, and develop contingency options. This preparation ensures peace of mind and allows us to focus entirely on creating exceptional imagery regardless of unexpected challenges.
What's your approach to combining film and digital photography?
We typically shoot with both film and digital cameras throughout your session or wedding day, selecting the medium that best suits each moment and lighting condition. Film captures create that timeless, rich quality with distinctive colors and grain that many couples love, while digital ensures comprehensive coverage and excels in challenging light. This hybrid approach delivers a cohesive gallery with a consistent aesthetic, giving you the artistic quality of film with the reliability and completeness of digital. All film is professionally processed, scanned, and expertly matched with digital images during editing.
How long until we receive our photos and films?
For wedding photography, you'll receive a curated preview gallery of 15-20 images within 48 hours, perfect for immediate sharing. Your complete collection of edited images is delivered within 6-8 weeks. For wedding films, a 60-second teaser is provided within one week, with the full highlight film delivered within 8-12 weeks. Portrait, engagement, and couples sessions are typically delivered within 3-4 weeks. All images and films are professionally edited to maintain our signature cinematic aesthetic while ensuring natural, authentic representation.
What makes your cinematic approach different from other photographers?
Our cinematic approach combines documentary authenticity with editorial aesthetics. Rather than heavily posing or creating artificial moments, we work primarily as an observer, capturing genuine interactions while providing gentle direction when needed to ensure flattering angles and optimal light. This balanced approach stems from our background in both documentary and editorial work, resulting in images that feel emotionally authentic yet visually refined. We pay particular attention to environmental context, narrative flow, and the interplay of light and shadow to create a complete visual story that evolves from moment to moment.
