FAQ's
What style do you shoot?
We shoot a combination of posed formal and photojournalistic shots in
color and black & white for a timeless and classic feel that captures the
essence of your special day.
What type of equipment do you use?
We use professional digital equipment for the greatest clarity and
creativity possible.
Do you include or sell the digital originals?
No. We keep the digital originals so we can insure the reprint quality
you would expect from a professional photographer. We monitor the
quality of reprints for dust spotting, color control, correct sizing,
cropping, etc., to insure a crisp clean image you will enjoy for a
lifetime. We also have the ability to do retouching, cropping, and any
other special mounting or printing of the photographs. Your digital
originals are cataloged and stored professionally in CD cases. The
cataloged digital originals are also placed in a fire protected, light sealed,
moisture and temperature resistant storage safe. This insures life
preservation of the digital originals that can always be relied upon for a
clean professional image. When ordering reprints, we provide the
service of pick up and mailing of them for you. We also insure the
reprints are the correct photos, type, sizes and quality that you
requested.
Can others take pictures?
At the photographer’s discretion, friends and relatives may take
snapshots after the professional image is made.
Can you do Black & White with some of the image colored?
Yes. We can color a specific portion of a black & white image such as
flowers, etc.
May I purchase the proofs and proof book?
The proof book and proofs are included in the wedding packages and
may be purchased separately for portraits.
Do you sell photo albums?
Yes. We have many varieties and prices of photo albums to choose
from. Depending upon your taste and budget, you can choose from the
most extravagant to the more conservative albums.
Will you do “on location” portraits?
Yes. We will go to your location, a park, etc. at no extra charge.
Will you travel outside of the Fox Cities?
Yes. We will travel to locations outside the Fox Cities. However,
anything over 50 miles from Appleton we do charge mileage at a
reasonable rate.
Do you do the printing yourself?
No. We outsource our printing to a local company. We do this to
provide you with the best quality paper and inks for your memories.
How many pictures do you take?
We take a lot of pictures. It depends upon the wedding and the
package chosen. We shoot hundreds of photos to guarantee the
number quoted in our packages for proofs and insure you receive only
the best images. Our proofs are edited to weed out undesirable photos
such as awkward expressions, etc. In almost all the weddings we shoot,
our customers receive well over the minimum quoted number of proofs.
How long will it take before I receive my proofs?
You will receive your proofs in approximately 4 to 6 weeks after the
date of the wedding shoot. It takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks for
image processing, adding special effects and another week for proof
book assembly.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Approximately one year for weddings.
